LA PLAGNE - MONTCHAVIN - Information
Montchavin is a typical Savoyarde mountain resort with a real village feel to it. It is a quiet resort which has a traffic free centre and numerous shops, restaurants and bars. Extensive snow making facilities mean that the skiing here is relatively snow sure and there are lovely tree lined slopes to explore close to the village. Since 2003, the nearby resort of Les Coches has been host to the Vanoise Express cable car which links La Plagne to the rest of the spectacular Paradiski ski domain, with access to over 425km of skiing.There is a wide range of varied terrain around La Plagne including woodland, glaciers and off piste powder fields offering something for all levels of skiers. Intermediates and beginners will enjoy the wide open pistes and stunning scenery and for the more advanced there are some steep, short blacks to attack. Closer to Montchavin there are a few nursery slopes for families and beginners to play on and some picturesque runs through the trees into Montchavin and Les Coches.
