3 Get the perfect Valentine’s Day Photo!
If you want a really original Valentine's Day photo, head to the top of Les Verdons (access via La Lovatière or Verdons Sud chairlifts). Up here, the La Plagne team will have set up a unique photo setting for you, including a wooden tripod where you can put your smartphone in “self-timer” mode to snap the perfect shot.
If you’re not on skis, then don’t worry. There is also a Kissing Booth being set up in Plagne Centre, next to the ice rink. Another place to get your Insta-worthy Valentine’s Day pictures. There from 10 am – 6 pm.
4 Romantic Walk and candlelit Savoyard aperitif
As night falls, enjoy a short romantic walk along the Dou du Praz footpath (15 min). Follow the love quiz that will guide you to the tasting area, where you’ll find a Savoyard aperitif with a cheese and charcuterie tasting plate accompanied by a glass of Savoy wine will await you. The perfect location to spend a special moment together.
You do need to book this activity before 430 pm at one of the tourist offices. Plus, spaces are limited, with 40 couples in total.
Meet between 6 pm and 6.30 pm at the trailhead at the top of Plagne Villages, where you will be met by one of the La Plagne activity team. End of the activity at 7.30 pm.
5 “Love Boys” stroll
If you fancy some entertainment and music on the pistes, then you might have to hunt down the Love Boys. The musical trio will be making their way around La Plagne with music, games and more.
If your heart is already taken, they'll give you a red heart sticker to adorn your jacket or helmet. But if your heart is still open, wear a green heart with pride throughout the day. It’s basically a traffic light party of old! You never know… you might just find your perfect match while skiing down the slopes or riding the chairlift!
Plus, there’s also the chance to play the fun-filled ‘Wheel of Love' game and win unforgettable prizes…

Unique La Plagne Valentine's Ideas for you to try!
7 Relax with a Couples Spa Day
Skiing is exhilarating, but it can also be taxing on the body. What better way to unwind than a spa day? Imagine a couples massage or a private sauna session with breathtaking views of the snow-covered mountains. It’s relaxation and romance rolled into one. My absolute favourite spa in La Plagne is the Deep Nature Spa in Belle Plagne, but check out this popular blog post about all the top La Plagne spa and massage places.
8 Secluded Mountain Top Picnic
Swap the busy restaurant scene for a quiet picnic atop the mountains. Pack a hamper with local delicacies – think fine cheeses, artisanal chocolates, and maybe a bottle of bubbly. Find a secluded spot with a view, lay down your blanket, and enjoy a meal with a panorama that can't be beaten.
If you’re thinking of doing it, my top tip is to head to one of the village bakeries to pick up the most delicious pastries, cakes and chocolate treats!
9 Snowshoe to a Romantic Cabin
For adventurous couples, a guided snowshoe hike to a secluded cabin or mountain-top restaurant could be the highlight of your Valentine's Day. Picture a quaint restaurant in the woods, a warm fire, and a cosy dinner for two. It's a chance to disconnect and focus on each other in a setting straight out of a fairy tale.
10 Dine at a High-Altitude Restaurant
For a culinary adventure, head to a mountain restaurant. Accessible only by ski or snowmobile, these eateries offer gourmet meals with a side of stunning panoramic views. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and fine dining.
Here are some of the best restaurants around La Plagne I would recommend for a Valentines’ Day long lunch or a romantic evening dinner.
11 Romantic or Adrenaline Rush, Night-Time Sledding
Ok, so it’s not super romantic! But for the more adventurous out there, the nighttime super luge and sledging are great fun! Imagine shooting down 7 km of slopes with your bestie, from the top of Aime 2000, down to La Roche. Lots of companies offer this, but the OG and best, in my opinion, are Oxygene Ski School.
