La Plagne-Tarentaise

Built around high-altitude pastureland and the ski development launched in 1961 above the Isère valley, La Plagne-Tarentaise developed into a Savoyard mountain commune of villages and resort stations. The present municipality was formed in 2016 through the merger of four former communes in the Tarentaise. La Plagne’s slopes connect with the Paradiski ski area, while its Olympic track staged bobsleigh, luge and skeleton events during the Albertville 1992 Winter Games. The northern Alps and the nearby Vanoise massif define the setting, with the Isère running through the valley below. Continue with other locations across the Tarentaise to see how this part of the French Alps connects regionally.
