Property Description
A SUPERB, TOP FLOOR APARTMENT in the recently completed Les Trois Glaciers development in the lovely ski village of Montchavin. This is a rare opportunity as it is one of the few apartments to be sold on a freehold, rather than leaseback, basis so there are no restrictions on how often you can use the apartment. At just under 69 sq. m, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a shower room and fitted out in a modern, contemporary style this apartment would make a STYLISH SKI HOME. The Montchavin piste runs past the residence and it is a 150m ski down to the Montchavin chairlift that links into all of La Plagne, Les Arcs, PARADISKI; truly one of the world’s great ski areas.
The apartment is on two levels. The lower floor offers an entrance hallway leading to a lounge/diner with fitted kitchen, a bathroom and a separate WC. There is a south-facing terrace off the lounge area. Upstairs there are two twin bedrooms, a cabine bedroom with bunk beds, a further bathroom and a shower room. The apartment comes with an underground parking space, ski locker and a cave for storing personal items. It is a 5 minute walk down into the village whilst a free shuttle bus also runs from opposite the residence to the village.. A STYLISH HOME IN THE MOUNTAINS FOR A FAMILY OR A GROUP OF FRIENDS.
Montchavin is a delightful ski village that still retains its rustic, farming charm---and smells!! The cobbled main street offers a variety of ski shops, a choice of restaurants including a great value Pizza place, a couple of bars, a well stocked supermarket and even a cinema which does show films in English. On the outskirts of the village, away from all the accommodation there is even a nightclub. The ESF and, well regarded, Evolution2 ski schools both operate in the village. For 2009/10 the well-known Base Camp bar is being extended. This is a great village for families, quiet, safe and yet with easy access to world class skiing. The slopes above Montchavin are tree lined and a great place to ski in bad weather, whilst a series of fast chairs link you into the high altitude, La Plagne skiing. From the top of the Montchavin chairlift it is a one-minute ski to the incredible Vanoise Express gondola that whisks you over to Les Arcs in only 4 minutes---amazing! Access from the village is via the 4 man Montchavin chairlift or the “yellow bubble” Les Coches gondola. It is possible to ski to both these lifts from the Trois Glaciers residence. The slopes above the village are north facing and hold the snow well; recent investment in artificial snow making also has done much to maintain the snow throughout the season.

MONTCHAVIN - LES COCHES
Resort Ratings
Resort Description
Montchavin (1250m) and Les Coches (1450m) are two charming, family orientated villages at the meeting point of the La Plagne, Les Arcs ski areas which together make up the amazing Paradiski ski domain.In many ways they provide it all; peaceful village life, a bit of nightlife, excellent restaurants, traditional buildings and super efficient skiing facilities.
Montchavin has a unique rustic charm; this is still a farming community with chickens and geese and farming smells!! There are some delightful old buildings whilst more modern additions have been built in a 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 remains a personal favourite.
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, the excellent The Last One bar and a choice of good value restaurants.
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 “bubble” are the two main lifts out of the village…it is a two minute ski from the top of the Montchavin chair to the Vanoise Express link to Les Arcs.
From Les Coches the 6 man Plan Bois chairlift and the Lac Noir gondola are the main lifts.
There are a total of 30 km of skiing in the Montchavin-Les Coches local area: the picturesque tree lined runs are superb after a new fall of snow and provide excellent skiing in bad weather when many higher pistes are closed.
Two lovely villages that we feel sure will appeal to those seeking charm as well as top class skiing. Most of the accommodation for sale in the villages is apartments ranging from compact studios to 3 bedroom apartments; however, larger individual chalets are also available.
