Situated on a site unique of its kind in Savoie, in the heart of the Tarentaise region opposite Mont-Blanc, La Plagne is a group of high altitude resorts and village resorts, all linked together at an altitude of between 1,250 m and 2,100 m. The "Plagne 1800" resort is one of La Plagne's former argentiferous lead mining villages, with its attractive little wooden slated-roofed houses, standing in the middle of a pine and larch forest, earning it the nickname of " La Charmante".
