Where to Stay in La Plagne: 2 chalets worth booking (PLUS a bonus gift for my readers)
Finding the right chalet in La Plagne just got easier
I’ve lived in La Plagne for over a decade, and I get asked a lot about where to stay. Families want ski-in/ski-out convenience, something cosy (but not cramped), and that sweet spot between comfort and value. The truth? A lot of chalets look better online than they feel in person.
But these two chalets from La Conciergerie du Glacier are genuinely excellent. I wouldn’t recommend them otherwise. Whether you're planning a big family getaway or a quieter week with the kids, they tick so many boxes, from location and layout to proper Alpine charm.
Book directly via LaConciergerieDuGlacier.fr and quote THATSLAPLAGNE for a bottle of wine and local chocolate on arrival. A bonus little welcome to settle in!
Chalet 1: Chalet Luxe: perfect for groups, celebrations or just a bit of wow
This 7-bedroom chalet is one of the highest in the French Alps (2,100m) and offers 350m² of beautiful space spread across three levels. Think private cinema, spa, gym, wine cave, outdoor jacuzzi and huge living room. It sleeps up to 15, with one bedroom accessible for guests with reduced mobility.
I love the teal and turquoise pops around the chalet. It's so nice to see a pop of colour around the place and not the classic kitchy Savoyard gingham (which has it place…).
Why it works:
- Huge living space for groups or big families
- Direct access to the piste
- Perfect for retreats, birthdays, corporate or multi-gen trips
- Chef services, childcare and transfers available
- Dog friendly
You can genuinely spend all day here and not run out of things to do. One of my favourite details? The semi-covered outdoor terrace with a firepit — perfect after skiing or for a nightcap under the stars.
Chalet 2: small chalet – a rare find for 5–6 people
This is the chalet I wish existed more often: something for just one family or a couple of couples that still feels like a proper chalet, not an apartment. It’s 50m² across two levels, with two double bedrooms and a small mezzanine single. Modern kitchen, private entrance, and again, it’s just 20m from the piste.
It's just so cute!
Why it works:
- Perfect for families with 1–3 kids
- Affordable but still stylish
- Short stays available
- Ski school 300m away
- Dog friendly
It’s cosy, practical and just right if you don’t want loads of unused space. And again, if you book direct and quote THATSLAPLAGNE, your arrival night gets a little upgrade: wine and chocolate included!
What type of traveller are these chalets right for?
Chalet Luxe is a brilliant fit for bigger groups who want space, comfort, and that high-end feel. It comfortably sleeps up to 15 people, making it ideal for large ski groups or multi-generational families travelling together. It’s also a fantastic option for milestone birthdays, corporate ski retreats, or even groups with non-skiers, thanks to the spa, cinema room and various cosy communal areas to relax in while others hit the slopes.
On the other hand, the Small Chalet is a rare gem for smaller groups. With room for 4–6 people, it’s perfect for a single family, two couples with a child, or even a couple with a dog who want the chalet experience without the oversized price tag. It’s also great for long weekends or midweek breaks if you're looking for flexibility and a more intimate, self-contained stay. Despite its smaller size, it still delivers big on charm, location, and comfort.
Why Plagne Villages is a great base
Plagne Villages is one of those places that locals love but visitors sometimes overlook. But, honestly, it’s one of the best family bases in the whole resort. Sitting at a snow-sure 2,050m, it offers reliable conditions all season long, with direct access to the vast Paradiski ski area right from your doorstep. You can easily ski over to Belle Plagne or Plagne Centre, making it a great jumping-off point no matter your ability level.
It’s also incredibly practical for families. The ski school meeting point is just a short walk from both chalets, and if you’re hiring gear, the chalets have a partnership with the nearby Skimium shop for easy, stress-free rental. Non-skiers aren’t left out either. The scenic Dou du Praz snowshoe route starts nearby and offers beautiful views over the valley.
For me, it strikes the perfect balance: peaceful and quiet, but with everything you need close by. If you're travelling with children, it makes the whole week feel easier. And that’s worth a lot.

What it actually feels like to stay there
This isn’t a hotel stay. Chalet holidays are about gathering round the table, doing hot chocolate refills, watching the snow fall from the hot tub, and knowing you can ski back to your door.
In Chalet Luxe, you can sneak off to the cinema room while the kids hit the games room or jump in the sauna. In the small chalet, you can cook together, watch a film and enjoy a space that feels yours for the week.
Both feel like a proper winter retreat.
Tips for planning a chalet holiday
There’s a bit of an art to planning a chalet holiday, especially if it’s your first time. One of the golden rules I always follow, but it's totally not essential? Pack slippers! Most chalets in the Alps have a no-shoes-inside policy, and you’ll want something cosy for evenings around the fire.
It’s also worth thinking ahead for extras like childcare or private chef services, particularly if you're visiting during school holidays when things book up quickly. Both chalets have a handy partnership with Skimium for ski hire, so you can get everything sorted nearby without the usual faff.
When it comes to food, you can arrange grocery delivery, or take a short trip to Plagne Centre for a bigger supermarket shop. And don’t stress about packing mountains of clothes. Both chalets come with washing machines, which is a total lifesaver on family ski trips. It all adds up to a smoother, easier stay so you can focus on the fun bits.
Why book direct (not Airbnb or Booking.com)
Booking directly through LaConciergerieDuGlacier.fr has a few key advantages – and not just for the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting Vic and a small, local business!
First off, you get transparent pricing with no hidden platform fees, which can add up quickly on larger group bookings. You can also see live availability and get quick, personalised responses from Vic and her team, who actually know the properties inside and out.
It’s much easier to customise your stay too, from arrival times and extra cleaning to chef-cooked meals and childcare. And best of all, if you quote THATSLAPLAGNE when you book, you’ll get a complimentary bottle of wine and local chocolate waiting for you on arrival. It’s thoughtful, direct, and better value all around. A total win-win.
Are both chalets ski-in/ski-out?
Yes, they’re both just 20m from the piste.
Is the ski school nearby?
Yes, it’s around 300m away, walkable even with kids.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! Both chalets are pet friendly.
Is short stay possible in the small chalet?
Yes, short breaks and midweeks are available.
Are transfers and childcare available?
Yes – both can be arranged through the team.
Final thoughts (and a reminder!)
These are two of the nicest chalets I’ve come across in La Plagne – and I’ve seen a lot. And they're totally under the radar! Whether you’re splashing out for a special trip or just want something a little more relaxed and personal, these are absolutely worth booking.
