A LOVELY APARTMENT IN A SMALL,FAMILY FRIENDLY,SKI VILLAGE. EXCELLENT RENTAL POTENTIAL. This very comfortable duplex apartment is part of the popular Chalets de Wengen development that was completed in early 2008. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a balcony offering views over to Mont Blanc, ski locker, cave/cellar and underground parking space as well as use of the development’s pool and spa facilities this apartment makes an excellent ski home. It is only a short walk to the heart of the village with all its amenities and, of course, Les Coches is ideally situated at the heart of the La Plagne, Les Arcs, PARADISKI ski domain; one of the world’s great ski areas with some 425 km of piste---absolutely amazing. The current owners have spent time and money improving what was already a nice apartment—and, as such, this is very realistically priced property. A STYLISH SKI HOME FOR A FAMILY OR GROUP OF FRIENDS. NB Rental news. AS of 10th November 2009 the current owners have confirmed that they have sold 10 rental weeks for the coming season. This does not include own use of the apartment or use by friends and family.

The, galley style, kitchen area has been refitted and provides an oven/microwave, dishwasher, fridge and hob whilst the dining table can seat 8 people. A balcony leads off the living area; enjoy an après ski gin and tonic whilst looking over the valley towards Mont Blanc. From the living area stairs lead up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms are as follows: a double room, a twin room with en suite shower room and a smaller “cabine” room with bunk beds. There is a very nice main bathroom with bath, overhead shower and washbasin with a separate WC. All bedrooms have built in storage facilities This is a VERY COMFORTABLE APARTMENT---Highly Recommended.
Les Coches (1450m) is a family friendly resort with a nice pedestrianised heart to it. Along with its sister village, Montchavin, it provides its own sheltered, tree lined ski area—some 30kms—excellent news in bad weather. Access to high altitude La Plagne is via a series of fast chairlifts whilst the incredible Vanoise Express gondola whisks you to Les Arcs in a mere 4 minutes. The recommended Le Plein Soleil restaurant is to be found in the local ski area—an excellent tearrace and very cosy in bad weather. From Les Coches the 6 man Plan Bois chairlift and the Lac Noir “white bubble” are the main access lifts with the, new, Telebuffette gondola linking the two. It is a short walk from the apartment to the above mentioned chairlift and all the amenities of the village. Between them La Plagne and Les Arcs really do offer something for all levels of skier and boarder—from cruising pistes to bumpy black runs and easily accessible off piste as well as terrain parks for the boarders amongst you Les Coches offers all you could need for a skiing holiday village; a choice of shops, a couple of bars (including t he excellent The Last One), some great value restaurants and a small supermarket . There is a real family “vibe” to the village, small scale, friendly and yet easy access to one of the world’s great ski areas.

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.
