Montchavin (1250m) and Les Coches (1450m) are two charming villages at the meeting point of the La Plagne and Les Arcs ski areas. In many ways they provide it all; peaceful village life, a bit of nightlife, excellent restaurants, traditional buildings and super efficient skiing facilities.
All of our guests have been taken with the rustic charm of Montchavin. This is still a farming community with chickens and geese and farming smells!! There are some delightful old buildings and more modern additions have been built in sympathetic style. The cobbled high street provides a variety of ski shops, a supermarket, a couple of bars, a lovely patisserie, an excellent 2 star hotel and even a cinema. There are half a dozen good value restaurants of which Le Ferme de Cesar, Pizzeria Zacotta, Le Dos Rond and La Boule de Neige remain our favourites. There is even a disco (Oxygene) situated in the car park at the edge of the village.
Les Coches situated a little further up the mountain has been purpose built in chalet style out of wood and stone with pitched slate roofs. There is a lovely pedestrianised commercial heart to the village with a variety of shops, a supermarket, a couple of livelier bars (Shooters and The Last One) and a further selection of restaurants of which La Poze, La Taverne du Monchu and L’Origan remain our favourites.
Both villages easily connect to the La Plagne ski area and Les Arcs via the Vanoise
Express Gondola link. From Montchavin the Montchavin chairlift and Les Coches gondola
are the two main lifts out of the village....it is a two minute ski from the top
of the chairlift to the Vanoise Express link to Les Arcs.....amazing! From Les Coches
the Plan Bois chairlift, upgraded to a 6-
