Why I love Subli'Cimes
After 20 years here, this is still the week I circle on the calendar. The whole resort gets a bit giddy: hot tubs at the top of a peak, music drifting across the slopes, and kids bouncing between giant games like it's Christmas morning. And the best bit? You don't pay a penny extra. If you've got a lift pass (even a pedestrian one), you're in.
It's a brilliant excuse to explore corners of La Plagne you might never have bothered with, and it turns a spring ski week into something the kids will be talking about for months.
Should you time your Easter trip around it?
If you can, yes. Easter is early in 2027 (Easter Sunday is 28 March), so Subli'Cimes lands right in the middle of lots of UK Easter holidays. French families start arriving for their spring holidays from Saturday 3 April, so Tuesday 30 March to Friday 2 April should be the quieter days to go.
Early April also means longer, sunnier days and softer snow, which younger skiers love. Planning an Easter trip? Have a look at my guide to Easter ski holidays in La Plagne.
How to plan your Subli'Cimes days with kids
- Pick your peaks. Each peak has a different theme, so check the programme and choose one or two that suit your crew, rather than trying to do all five in a day.
- Mix it with skiing. Our favourite rhythm is a Subli'Cimes morning and a ski afternoon (or the other way round).
- Bring the non-skiers. Grandparents, or little ones who aren't on skis yet, can buy a pedestrian lift pass and reach most of the peaks by gondola.
- Plan around the snow. Spring snow is firm first thing and softens after lunch, so ski when it suits your crew best.
- Pack for sun. Suncream, sunglasses and water. Spring sun at altitude is strong, even on a cloudy day.
Subli'Cimes, La Plagne
Subli'Cimes is one of my favourite events of the whole La Plagne season, and it's open to skiers and pedestrians for FREE.
But what is it?
Subli'Cimes happens every April in La Plagne to celebrate the arrival of the spring season. When you visit, you will be blown away by the fact that it is free to enjoy and take part in. All you need is a valid lift pass – either skier or pedestrian.
Subli'Cimes is 5 different peaks around La Plagne where different themed worlds are created. There is everything from hot tubs to bungee jumps, roller skating, ball pools, and beauty treatments.
The 2027 themes haven't been announced yet. Below is what was on last time to give you a flavour. Favourites like Altitude Zen and the adrenaline peak often come back, and I'll update this post as soon as the 2027 programme is out.
It's also great to see that more of the peaks are accessible to non-skiers.
The 5 peaks last time were:
- Live 3000 – Open Air Museum
- Plan Bois – The Big Dive
- Grande Rochette – Altitude Zen
- Le Fornelet Peak – Not Scared!
- Rossa Peak – Snow Wizards!
Pedestrians can get to 4 out of 5 of the peaks. The top of Rossa is not accessible to non-skiers.
For 2027, Subli'Cimes runs from Tuesday 30 March to Wednesday 7 April, which lines up nicely with lots of UK Easter holidays. Activities usually run from 10:00 to 16:00 each day.

And That's La Plagne @ Subli'CImes La Plagne
I love the Subli'Cimes event. It's a really fun way to explore La Plagne for both adults and children. It's just incredible that it is all free because the activities are all really excellently planned out, and the snacks and drinks are great. We always plan a couple of days to had to our favourite peaks and then spend some time here to explore and people watch.
TOP TIPS:
- Each time we are keen to do an activity, we plan to arrive as it opens. There is usually no queue at the start.
- Download the full Subli'Cimes guide.
- Take time to explore each peak and to see what is happening at which times.
- Be aware of the age limits on certain activities. Some activities have minimum ages (several start from 7 or 8), so it's helpful to explain that to younger kids in advance.
