Residence Front de Neige, La Plagne
Why Choose a Ski Apartment in La Plagne?
Staying in a ski apartment offers a completely different experience from a catered chalet. You’ll have the freedom to cook your own meals and set your own schedule—no fixed dining times, and more evenings to explore the resort’s restaurants at your own pace.
La Plagne has plenty to offer when it comes to food, from cosy Savoyard spots serving fondue and raclette to casual pizzas, burgers, and crêpes—perfect for mixing things up through the week.
And even though you’re self-catered, our in-resort team is still just a call away. They’ll deliver your lift passes to your door, share insider tips on the best runs, and point you toward their favourite local hangouts so you’ve always got support, without the structure of a chalet holiday.
Residence Front de Neige – Our Number One Choice
You can’t get closer to the action. As the name suggests, Residence Front de Neige sits right at the foot of the slopes in Plagne Villages, offering true ski-in/ski-out access with the Bergerie chairlift just metres from the door. Whether you’re first on the piste or heading out for a few relaxed afternoon runs, the convenience is unbeatable.
In the evening, ski straight into Plagne Centre for a bit of après or a laid-back dinner, then simply hop on one of the regular resort shuttles to get back—no long treks or logistics to worry about.
Inside, the apartments are modern, warm, and well equipped, with everything you need for a comfortable self-catered stay. You’ll find a practical kitchen, smart storage, and those small but thoughtful touches that make holiday living that much easier. Whether you’re preparing breakfast for the slopes or a relaxed meal with friends in the evening, it’s all set up for hassle-free living.
After a full day on the mountain, head down to the shared spa area—complete with an indoor pool, hot tub, hammam, and multi-jet showers. It’s the perfect way to unwind, soothe sore legs, and recharge for another day in the mountains.
Consistently a guest favourite, this residence combines premium location, comfortable living, and relaxation in equal measure making it our top self-catering pick in La Plagne.

Not Sure if an Apartment in La Plagne is for You?
Of course, we also offer a selection of catered chalets in La Plagne—and it wouldn’t feel right not to give them a mention! While a chalet stay is a different kind of holiday compared to self-catering, it can be a great-value option for larger groups, especially when you factor in what’s included.
With breakfast, afternoon tea, and a hearty evening meal with wine all part of the package, there’s no need to worry about cooking or clearing up. Our friendly chalet hosts take care of the details, so you can focus on the skiing (and the relaxing).
They’re off for just one evening during the week, giving you the perfect opportunity to try a local restaurant and explore more of what La Plagne has to offer.

Chalet St Moritz
Chalet St Moritz is another newbie among our catered chalets in La Plagne, but is already a firm favourite, especially for smaller groups of up to eight guests.

With its traditional Alpine character, wood-panelled interiors, and inviting living area, the chalet delivers that authentic home-away-from-home feel you only get in the mountains. Spend your evenings sharing stories over a glass of wine by the crackling fireplace, planning your next day on the mountain.
It’s easy to explore the local area too. Just a gentle stroll downhill gets you to nearby shops, bars, and restaurants. Or, for something more low-key, enjoy the private hot tub or relax your muscles in the chalet sauna.
With a warm atmosphere, great location, and all the comforts of a catered chalet, Chalet St Moritz is a superb choice for families or groups who want a relaxed, traditional base with just the right amount of luxury.

How to Ace a Ski Apartment in La Plagne
The key to making the most of a ski apartment holiday in La Plagne is knowing what kind of trip you want. Whether it’s relaxed evenings on the balcony with friends or quick turnarounds between après sessions and late-night bites, planning a few basics ahead of time can make all the difference.
Once you’ve settled in, head to the local supermarket (usually no more than a five-minute walk) and stock up on the essentials—breakfast bits, snacks, and anything you’ll want first thing in the morning. That way, you’re not scrambling when all you want to do is get straight onto the slopes.
Many apartments also offer breakfast delivery services or have handy starter packs with things like coffee, tea, or condiments to get you going.
Self-catering doesn’t mean going it alone either—our in-resort team is always on hand to recommend local restaurants, help with logistics, or point you to the best place for a quick crêpe after a long ski day.
