La Plagne, strictly kosher
11 villages, one request for the kosher side
La Plagne spreads over 11 villages, from Champagny-en-Vanoise in the valley to Plagne Aime 2000 at about 2,100 m, and joins Les Arcs through the Vanoise Express to form the 425 km Paradiski area. Mishpacha Tours organises the kosher side of your week here: a private chef in your chalet, hot meals delivered to your apartment, Shabbat before candle lighting, the holidays, and a minyan with a Sefer Torah for your dates. One request, one written quote. Stays, transfers and meals are organised and invoiced by our kosher team based in the Alps; Mishpacha Tours sells its guided tours in Lyon.

What we organise in La Plagne
- A chalet or apartment with a private chef. Our kosher team based in the Alps makes the kitchen kosher and cooks on site, in Plagne Centre, Belle Plagne, Montchavin or the village you chose. Every meal of the week is covered.
- Meals delivered in the resort. Hot meals brought to your apartment or hotel for the week. Tell us which village you stay in, as La Plagne is spread over several levels and the delivery depends on it.
- Shabbat before candle lighting. Shabbat meals, challot and wine are delivered on Friday and set before candle lighting. Nothing is delivered on Shabbat or on a holiday.
- The holidays. Hanukkah candles, a Megillah reading and a Purim meal, Pesach on request. Tell us which holiday falls in your week.
- A minyan and a Sefer Torah. The size of a minyan depends on how many families are in the resort that week. Give us your dates and we group the families who write to us.
- A tailor-made stay, A to Z. Chalet, chef or delivered meals, transfers, Shabbat, the holidays, a minyan: one request, one quote. Families and groups from abroad, Hebrew-speaking guests included, are our core; for a very small group asking for one delivery only, say so and we tell you what is feasible.
Strictly kosher. Our kosher team based in the Alps cooks under the Chabad network of the Alps; ask for the supervision details in writing with your quote. Detail of each service: kosher services in the French Alps.
