Although heliskiing is not permitted in France, due to La Plagne’s proximity to Italy it is possible to arrange a day’s heliskiing over the border.

There is a great range of off-piste and back-country skiing in La Plagne & the Paradiski area which has the reputation of taking longer to get skied out than some of the neighboring more ‘macho’ resorts such as Tignes. It is definitely worth spending a day with a guide exploring the areas inaccessible by lift. Most of the ski hire shops have touring skis and off-piste equipment available for hire.
