La Plagne

La Plagne is a multi-village resort (Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne, Bellecôte, Montchavin-Les Coches and others) whose own sector spans about 225 km of piste and roughly 74 lifts, distinct from the ~425 km combined Paradiski figure quoted when linked with Les Arcs.

Its flagship link lift, the Vanoise Express, is a genuine reversible double aerial tramway crossing the Ponthurin valley to Les Arcs — not a gondola. The resort's old Bellecôte cable car was decommissioned in 2023 and replaced by a 10-person gondola, so the Vanoise Express is La Plagne's only true cable car today.

True cable cars (aerial tramways)

Gondolas and chairlifts are listed above under Notable lifts. These are specifically two-station reversible aerial tramways — a distinct lift type.
