Paradiski Ski Passes
To fully experience the vast ski terrain of Paradiski , one of Europe's largest ski areas, acquiring a Paradiski ski pass is essential. This pass grants access to all ski resorts in Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry, La Plagne villages, and surrounding smaller areas. Together, these regions offer 425 kilometers of groomed slopes and extensive off-piste options. With 238 pistes, 4 snowparks, and 2 half pipes, the area caters to diverse skiing preferences. Skiers can enjoy glacier skiing, forested trails, and expansive open runs. Slope elevations range from 1,200 meters to 3,200 meters, with over 70% of skiing above 2,000 meters. The ski conditions are excellent, supported by 958 snow cannons for snowmaking, ensuring optimal snow coverage even in periods of low snowfall.
The Paradiski is one of the largest linked ski domains in the world, connecting Les Arcs and La Plagne via the iconic Vanoise Express cable car. The variety of terrain here ranks among Europe's best – ranging from high-altitude, snow-sure slopes above Arc 2000, to the long, tree-lined descents above Peisey-Vallandry, and unto the vast, open bowls across La Plagne's interconnected villages – all accessible with a Paradiski pass.

What areas does a Paradiski ski pass cover?
The Paradiski ski pass is the single pass covering the entire interconnected ski area, spanning over 425km of pistes across Les Arcs, La Plagne, and Peisey-Vallandry.
Rather than managing separate local passes for the individual resorts within the area, the single Paradiski pass gives you unrestricted access to the entire network, including all lifts, all runs, and all sectors – making it a refreshingly straightforward system for skiers of all abilities. For a week-long stay in Paradiski, this is the pass that maximises your experience - with 425km of varied terrain at your disposal, you could ski a different area every day and still not cover it all.
FAQs
Is it worth buying a Paradiski ski pass in advance?
Yes, pre-booking your Paradiski ski pass before travelling can save time and make arrival day much easier. Booking in advance helps reduce the time spent picking up your pass, as pre-paid collections are generally more straightforward than purchasing at the ticket counter (especially if you’re travelling as a group or family), especially during busy weeks such as Christmas and February half-term. Many visitors also prefer having their accommodation, travel and lift passes organised before leaving home. Some advance bookings may include promotional savings or added benefits, depending on the supplier and time of booking.
What’s the difference between a local pass and a full Paradiski pass?
A local ski pass covers either La Plagne or Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry individually, while a full Paradiski pass includes access to the entire linked ski area. Local passes are often suitable for beginners, short stays, or visitors who are happy to ski on one side of the mountain. Full Paradiski passes are more popular with intermediate and advanced skiers wanting to explore all 425km of pistes and make full use of the Vanoise Express connection.
Can I upgrade my ski pass from a local pass to a Paradiski pass during my holiday?
In many cases, yes. Skiers who initially purchase a local La Plagne or Les Arcs pass can often add a Paradiski extension later in the week if they decide to explore the wider area. This flexibility is useful for beginners progressing quickly or visitors wanting one or two days of larger-area skiing without committing to a full Paradiski pass immediately.
Are family ski passes available in Paradiski?
Yes, family ski passes are available across the Paradiski, offering discounts for eligible groups travelling together. Family pass discounts generally apply when two adults and two or more children purchase passes for the same duration. Discounts can help make skiing more affordable for larger families, particularly during week-long holidays.
