The resort provides ample runs for a skier of my experience (3rd week away). The queues around Plagne Center and Bellecote are on the long side, but once you get away from the flash points, it's not hard to find a piste to yourself. The piste markings are pretty poor to say the least. Also how they decide the piste gradings is beyond me. The 'Tunnel' run is a pleasure because of the relatively steep start to a blue run putting most beginners off. There are easier reds! All of the Plagne resorts are connected by free buses which seem pretty efficient. Means you can sample the nightlife in other areas... I only got as far as a visit to Le Mine in Plagne 1800.
