La Plagne is part of the vast Paradiski ski area in the French Alps, offering over 425 km of pistes. Plagne 1800 is a charming, chalet-style village nestled in the heart of the resort, providing easy lift access to the wider ski area. From Plagne 1800, skiers can quickly connect to the main La Plagne network via the Melezes chairlift, reaching higher altitude areas like Belle Plagne, Plagne Centre, and the summit of the Grand Rochette.
A standout feature of staying in La Plagne is the Vanoise Express, a double-decker cable car that links La Plagne with Les Arcs, creating one of the largest interconnected ski areas in the world. It’s easily accessible from Plagne 1800 with a short ski or lift journey, allowing skiers and snowboarders to explore both La Plagne and Les Arcs in a single day.
La Plagne is a world-class ski resort in the French Alps, known for its varied terrain, reliable snow, and family-friendly atmosphere. At the heart of the resort lies Plagne 1800, a peaceful, tree-lined village built in traditional chalet style. It offers a cosy, laid-back vibe – ideal for those looking to escape the busier central areas while still enjoying excellent access to the slopes.
Chalet Grand Chardon offers private access to an outdoor pool, saunas and a squash court, just 200m from the piste in the centre of Plagne 1800.
Sleeping 12 guests, there are 3 twin bedrooms on the top floor, and 3 twin bedrooms on the lower floor, all of which are ensuite. The lower floor also offers a large open plan living are with a log burning stove and a large south facing balcony.
Chalet Petit Chardon is located just a couple of minutes walk to the Melezes lift and the ESF ski school meeting point. There is also a bus stop just outside the chalet where you can hop on and off a free shuttle bus that runs between Plagne 1800, Plagne Bellecote and Plagne Centre.
We are looking forward to welcoming you to Chalet Grand Chardon to experience this wonderful new resort and stylish chalet.
You can expect some wonderful cuisine in our catered ski chalets, where you’ll never have to lift a finger. Save yourself the hassle and cost of having to cook or organise restaurant bookings, and enjoy a delicious three course evening meal prepared for you after a long day on the slopes.
Our chalet menus have been meticulously designed and curated by our Executive Chef. We believe that great food can transform a holiday, so expect some hearty and tasty food throughout your week with us.
Our catered chalets are equipped with excellent facilities, from cosy living areas to spacious dining areas. You will get to enjoy a glass of wine by the fire with your family and friends while your hosts work behind the scenes to prepare a delectable feast.
Enjoy impeccable service with six days of breakfast, dinners, canapés and aperitifs. For breakfast, you can expect fresh French bread, pastries, fruit, cereals, as well as cooked options. Each day on your return from the slopes, you can expect a different cake with tea and coffee. For dinner, enjoy a three course dinner to refuel after a long day on the slopes.
If you’re booking the chalet for your family, we kindly ask that everyone dines together rather than having separate sittings for children and adults. However, we’ll be happy to adjust the dinner time to an earlier slot to suit younger guests better.
Catered ski chalets offer a range of evening meals from beef bourguignon to grilled cod. If you have a specific request, ski trip favourites or dietary requirements, just let our sales team know before you travel, and the resort team will endeavour to cater to all your needs.
