La Plagne Recommendations Wanted

Six of us off to La Plagne 1800 next January. Three intermediates, one
novice and two total beginners.

Does anyone have favorite trails, ski schools, hire shops, bars,
restaurants, clubs etc they can recommend. Also are there any ATM
machines in 1800, if not where are they?

I've checked out various websites and Deja but personal experience
would be more helpful.

Cheers.

Yes there are, in the pedestrian precinct in the centre.

I don't remember a pedestrian precinct in Plagne 1800. The
official plan does show a "Caisse d'Epargne" in 1800, so
maybe there is one now. If not, then there are two banks in
Plagne Centre and three in Aime; Plagne Centre can be easily
reached using the free navette (bus), and Aime on skis, during
lift hours.

I stand corrected - it was Plagne Centre I was thinking of.

Aime on skis from La Plagne? Was in Aime this morning, it's on the far
side of the valley to La Plagne.... with the valley floor at 700m or so,
conditions will need to be good to get to Aime!

She probably meant "Aime la Plagne" (anyway, Aime la Plagne is in Aime,
isn't it ?)

Inasfar as Les Arcs is 'in' Bourg St Maurice (commune of), I get your
drift.....

Many thanks for all the input. Now does any one have a favorite bar?

Stayed there once in the Xtal chalets. ISTR that there was only one bar
worth going in and you can't really miss it, right by the side of the
main drag. Truth was that, cos we were in chalets, we were getting
mullered on the wine and then just heading out for a sly letch at the
saisonairres.

We will be sampling the delights of the enamel stripping chalet wine -
just after somewhere for a change, stave off the cabin fever.

Don't know about checking out the saisonairres, my wife is coming with
me for the first time in 5 years so I'll definitely have to practise
the sly letching
