Friday evening. The laptop closes, the bag is packed, the skis are ready.

Vendredi soir. On ferme l’ordinateur, on boucle le sac, les skis sont prêts.

Time to head to La Plagne for 48 hours of fresh air and wide-open spaces.

Whether you travel by train or by car, getting there is quick and easy. In just a few hours, the rhythm of the week fades away and mountain time takes over. The peaks are all around you. The weekend can begin.

Saturday: back on the slopes

Make the most of your time on the slopes with special weekend offers:
- Samedi Je Skie ski pass: a great Saturday deal 😉 available if booked before Friday midnight.
- Dimanche Malin Sunday ski pass: available outside school holidays, to be booked before Saturday midnight.

💡 With the Paradiski Yuge app, you can track your performance, follow your routes and even check lift waiting times. A great way to make the most of your weekend.

All that’s left is to enjoy it. Early in the morning, the mountain slowly comes to life. You take the first lift with that familiar mix of excitement and anticipation.

The photo shows a group of skiers sitting on a chairlift in La Plagne, enjoying a beautiful sunny day in the mountains. They are all wearing helmets, goggles and colourful outfits, raising their arms in a sign of joy and enthusiasm. The scene takes place above a snow-covered slope lined with fir trees, while in the background, the Alpine peaks stand out against a bright blue sky. This friendly and dynamic atmosphere perfectly illustrates the pleasure of skiing in a group in an exceptional natural setting.
This photo taken at La Plagne captures a memorable moment of the Aérolive experience. Two skiers, fully equipped with helmets and gear, stand at the open door of a red gondola suspended above a snow-covered mountain landscape. One is stepping out, with one foot already in the air, while the other remains inside. The sky is a brilliant blue and the sun lights up the snow-capped Alpine peaks. This scene perfectly captures the intensity and beauty of the Aérolive experience — a unique aerial adventure in the heart of La Plagne.

Aérolive

A moment apart during the weekend

At over 3,000 metres above sea level, Aérolive offers an open-air ascent in a glass-free gondola. You rise slowly. The landscape opens up. The 360° view of the Alps is breathtaking.

In winter as in summer, the experience can be shared with family or friends. A few minutes suspended in the air… and a memory that stays with you.

Taking a break

By late morning, it’s time to slow the pace.

For a gourmet break with a view, head to the Café Sixième Ciel. A hot chocolate, a sunny terrace at altitude, and time that seems to stretch a little longer.

Looking for something more relaxed? The Roche de Mio Lounge is the perfect place to take out your picnic and simply enjoy the view.

You talk about the last run, pick the next one… and head back onto the slopes to keep the weekend going.
