Why Book Your Holiday in La Plagne Several Months in Advance?

Planning a mountain holiday is always exciting. Whether you're organising a family getaway, a trip with friends, or a romantic escape, one question always comes up: when is the best time to book your holiday accommodation? The answer is simple: the earlier, the better.

Booking your accommodation several months in advance not only gives you a wider choice of properties, but also offers many advantages that will make your stay even more enjoyable. Here's why planning ahead is the best decision for your next holiday in La Plagne.

Find the Perfect Accommodation

La Plagne is one of the most popular ski destinations in the French Alps. With more than 2 million skier days recorded in 2025, the resort continues to attract visitors from around the world every winter. Chalets and apartments are in particularly high demand. If you're looking for a specific property or a spacious chalet that can accommodate your entire group, it's important to book early. Coordinating everyone's availability isn't always easy, which sometimes makes it difficult to reserve accommodation months in advance.

However, larger properties are often booked year after year, especially during the most popular weeks such as Christmas, New Year, and the February school holidays. If you have specific requirements—ski-in/ski-out access, mountain views, a private sauna, or accommodation close to the ski schools—booking early gives you access to the widest possible selection. Travellers looking for a simple studio apartment generally have more flexibility and don't need to book quite as far ahead.

At Oxygène Immobilier, we offer more than 250 holiday rentals across the different villages of La Plagne:

• Plagne Centre
• Plagne Villages
• Plagne Soleil
• Belle Plagne
• Plagne 1800
• Aime 2000

Our team is available throughout the year to help you find the perfect accommodation and organise your stay with complete peace of mind.

Secure Your Ski Lessons

When planning your holiday, don't forget to book your ski or snowboard lessons. Ski schools have a limited number of places available for each level, especially during peak holiday periods. We therefore recommend booking your accommodation and ski lessons at the same time to guarantee your preferred schedule for yourself or your children.

This advice is particularly important if you're visiting during the busiest weeks of the season, including Christmas, New Year, and the February holidays. Keep in mind that school holidays vary from country to country, meaning demand can be high even outside the French holiday calendar.

If you're unsure, our team will be happy to advise you. Oxygène Immobilier works closely with Oxygène Ski, our trusted partner, allowing our guests to benefit from an exclusive 10% discount on group ski and snowboard lessons for both adults and children.

Plan the Rest of Your Holiday

Oxygène Immobilier also offers discounted ski passes. These discounted rates remain available until 7 days before your arrival, so there's no need to purchase your lift passes several months in advance. However, we do recommend organising your transport as early as possible.

• Train Tickets The French railway company SNCF usually releases winter train tickets around September or October. We recommend setting up ticket alerts so you don't miss the best fares. If you're travelling outside the school holidays, you'll generally have more flexibility when booking.
• Covered Parking If you're driving to La Plagne and would like a guaranteed covered parking space, contact us as early as possible. We can reserve parking in: 
  • Plagne Centre
  • Belle Plagne
  • Plagne Soleil.
  • Other villages : Guests staying in other villages can take advantage of the free outdoor parking areas available throughout the resort.
• Taxi & Private Transfers We can also help organise taxi transfers from Aime-La Plagne railway station or from nearby airports directly to your accommodation. For longer transfers, we recommend contacting us as soon as your train or flight has been booked.
