Slope Side

One of the first major differences I’ve noticed between Le Plagne an other ski areas I’ve stayed is the abundance of slope side accommodation. There are hotels in what I would consider to be the middle of the ski slope. And at the bottom, you have places like where I’m staying, the 2nd building from the right in the picture. This is cheap budget accommodation with 4 people in bunk bends in rooms smaller than my first year dorm room at college. It blows my mind that places like this have ski-in ski-out access as the only places I’ve seen in the states with that type of access to the slopes are the most upmarket of hotels. Score one point for the Alps.
