Choose the village before choosing the station

Belle Plagne, Bellecôte and Plagne Centre are different bases. Montalbert, Montchavin–Les Coches and Champagny add different valley approaches. Selecting the residence first affects the railway gateway as well as rental collection, so a generic La Plagne transport search should not be the final booking instruction.

Do not infer twelve independent resorts from twelve provider catalogue entries.

How the arrival fits your chosen base

Choose the village before the station: Aime for altitude sites and Montalbert, Landry for Montchavin–Les Coches, Moûtiers for Champagny.

Official branches include S70 to Montalbert, S71 to the altitude sites, S72 from Landry and S66 from Moûtiers.

  • Read the full village on the accommodation confirmation.
  • Choose Aime-la-Plagne, Landry or Moûtiers according to that village.
  • Use the matching regional coach branch or a prebooked transfer.

Choose collection around the first ski day

Use your exact village or residence address. Belle Plagne, Plagne Bellecôte and Plagne Centre are different localities.

Put the accommodation entrance, lesson meeting point and intended collection shop on one map before paying. A lower equipment price in another village can introduce a special fitting or return journey. Ask the chosen shop about collection hours and return conditions; this guide does not promise those commercial details.

Before committing to transport

Aime can be the wrong gateway for Montchavin–Les Coches.

Use a date-specific operator planner for the complete outward and return trips. A published ride time does not include baggage collection, waiting, road delays or the last walk to the building. If the last usable service is too early, compare an organised transfer or an overnight near the gateway before buying a non-refundable connection.

Your questions answered

Is Belle Plagne another name for Plagne Bellecôte?

No. The official destination guide lists them separately.

Which railway gateway should I use for La Plagne?

Aime-la-Plagne / Landry / Moûtiers, according to village. Official branches include S70 to Montalbert, S71 to the altitude sites, S72 from Landry and S66 from Moûtiers.

Should the rental shop be in the same place as my accommodation?

Use your exact village or residence address. Belle Plagne, Plagne Bellecôte and Plagne Centre are different localities. Compare the real collection and return journey rather than assuming all entries in a ski area are interchangeable.

Turn the plan into a trip

Choose the right arrival and pickup point

Match your transfer destination and rental shop to your accommodation, not just to the wider ski-area name.
