Avoiding Saturday traffic

On school-holiday Saturdays, the N90 between Albertville and Bourg-Saint-Maurice is often jammed from late morning to mid-afternoon. Leave early, or aim to arrive late afternoon, which suits our 5 pm check-in. See our school holiday calendar to spot the busiest weekends.

Belle Plagne is car-free: vehicles stay in underground car parks. At Cocon Alpin, a space in the residence's covered car park is included in your stay. Mind the 1.90 m height limit for roof boxes and vans.
