Best practices

To explore the mountains in complete safety

Getting Ready for Your Mountain Stay

At La Plagne, we want every stay to be all about fun, peace of mind, and safety.
Adopting best practices means looking after your health, respecting fellow skiers, and preserving the unique environment around us. Here are a few simple tips to help you make the most of your days on the slopes with complete peace of mind.

Gear Up Before Hitting the Slopes

Having the right equipment is the first step to enjoying the mountains safely.

  • Helmet and Goggles: Helmets are now essential to reduce the risk of injuries. Goggles or sunglasses protect your eyes from the sun, wind, and snow.

  • Sunscreen and Lip Balm: High altitude increases sun exposure. Remember to protect your skin, even on cloudy days.

  • Proper Clothing: Layer up to stay warm and dry. Gloves and a neck warmer are your best allies against the cold.

  • Equipment Check: Make sure your bindings are adjusted, boots fit well, and poles are the right size. Properly prepared equipment ensures safer and more enjoyable skiing.

Insurance: Essential Protection

Accidents can happen quickly, and ski-rescue services in France are not free.

  • Rescue and Search: Even a simple intervention can cost several hundred euros.

  • Carré Neige: This insurance covers rescue, evacuation, and medical expenses related to an accident on the slopes.

Discover the 10 rules for safe skiing

  1. Behave in a way that doesn't endanger anyone

  2. Every skier must follow the signage (you can’t miss the bright orange signs)

  3. Adapt your behavior and speed to your abilities, the slope, and the weather conditions

  4. Make sure it's safe to enter a slope by checking both uphill and downhill

  5. Choose a path that ensures the safety of the downhill skier (the one below you)

  6. Overtake wide enough to anticipate the movements of the skier you're passing

  7. If you fall, clear the slope as quickly as possible. Always stop at the edge of the slope!

  8. Use the edge of the slope if you need to walk up or down

  9. If you're involved in or witness an accident, identify yourself by calling emergency services at 00334 79 09 67 60

  10. In the event of an accident, everyone must alert the rescue team and remain available to the ski patrol.


Preserving the Resort

In the mountains, nature is to be shared.

Skiing at La Plagne means enjoying an exceptional natural environment that must be preserved for future generations.
Every action counts to protect the wildlife, flora, and overall quality of the resort.

Leave No Trace

A piece of litter left in the snow can take months—or even years—to disappear. By taking it with you, you help keep the slopes clean and enjoyable for everyone.

Stay on Marked Trails

In winter, when animals use a lot of energy to survive, leaving authorized areas disturbs wildlife and also weakens the fragile alpine flora.

Careful on the lifts

A glove or a bottle dropped from a chairlift is not only litter but can also pose a danger to skiers below.
