La Plagne
A Week in La Plagne with a Mixed Ability Group
The accommodation, the runs, the one excellent local restaurant, and why it worked for a group with three very different skiing levels.
Matt's Ski Trip Reports from the Alps
Honest write-ups from real trips. What worked, what didn't, and what to do next time.
What a trip report is: A real write-up from a real trip. Not a resort marketing piece. If the accommodation was average, Matt will say so. If something went wrong, it'll be in there.
These are the write-ups Matt would give you over a pint if you asked about the trip. The accommodation is described honestly. The mistakes are on the page. If the resort didn't work out for a mixed-ability group, you'll know exactly why. The purpose is to tell UK skiers what a place is actually like to ski, not to convince anyone to book.
If a specific detail matters, the exact chairlift that always breaks down, the lunch spot worth the extra ride to reach, or the accommodation that looked fine online and wasn't, it's in the report. Matt writes these after the trip, not before, and doesn't tidy up the annoying bits.
