The Tarentaise Valley stands tall in the heart of the French Alps, where the Isère River flows through the Savoy region of France. This breathtaking valley is named after the ancient town of Darantasia, which was once the capital of the pre-Roman Centrones tribe. La Plagne, a top-notch ski area, thrives in the alpine valley of the Tarentaise (Savoie). Since 2003, La Plagne has partnered with its neighboring resort, Les Arcs, to form Paradiski's impressive ski area. Compagnie des Alpes proudly owns this successful venture. La Plagne attracts a staggering average of over 2.5 million visitors each season, making it the most popular ski resort in the world. Its success can be attributed to its exceptional skiing opportunities and unbeatable scenery. Les Arcs, located in Savoie, France, is situated in the charming town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice within the Tarentaise Valley. Initially conceived by visionary developers Robert Blanc and Roger Godino, Les Arcs has grown into a vital part of the massive Paradiski system, which is owned by Compagnie des Alpes. This company, listed on the French stock exchange, also owns numerous other ski resorts as well as several theme parks. Source: Wikipedia Data Sources: JAXA (Elevation), ESA (Imagery)
