Self-Drive  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From our experience, self-driving is a great way of getting to la Plagne, especially if you live in the South of England.  It takes approximately 9h 30mins to reach la Plagne from Calais (it is approximately 597 miles).  It is an easy and well sign posted route.  We recommend that you use the Michelin route planner which you can access and print online www.viamichelin.co.uk.

Self-driving is also a very cost efficient way of travelling.  In our experience the return journey should cost about £75 each for 4 passengers travelling in a car.  This includes the channel crossings, petrol and motorway toll charges!

To arrange your Channel crossing you should contact Ferry Cheap for great savings on crossings:

Once you get to la Plagne finding your way around is easy!  Just follow the well sign posted route to Plagne 1800, Soleil or Belle Plagne
