Summary
Montchavin is an attractively transformed farming hamlet of chalets and orchards, connected to the vast Paradiski domain. Getting to central La Plagne involves a series of lifts, but Montchavin’s local slopes offer pretty, sheltered runs, well endowed with snowmaking. Although quiet, the village does not lack atmosphere and is a popular family choice.
Les Coches is a little way above and shares the same local slopes. It is a sympathetically designed, quiet, modern mini-resort with a traffic-free centre and popular with families.
The cable car link with Les Arcs starts from near here and easily reached by a fast chair.
