Property Description

Set in a hamlet just a short drive away from the ski resort of Champagny, this three bedroom traditional stone chalet has stunning views into the Vanoise National Park with a large area of land. One of this chalet’s other great features is the 60m2 open plan kitchen, dining and double height living room.


After driving through the picturesque village (which is cleared of snow daily in winter), you reach the chalet which enjoys uninterrupted views of the mountains as it is the last house on the street. The entrance is round the back of the chalet and planning permission has been granted in the past to build a porch.


The open plan convivial dining, living and kitchen area has a large fire place, a double height ceiling and again great views from the windows. With a bit of updating, this room could be transformed into something really special given its dimensions. There is also a ground floor bathroom, laundry and a garage, which the owners currently use for ski equipment and outdoor clothes (but it would comfortably fit a car).


Upstairs you’ll find three decent sized bedrooms and another bathroom. The owners have applied for a “certificate d’urbanisme” which means that a purchaser would be able to extend the chalet on three sides once this is obtained. The adjoining land would be heaven in summer time and ideal for the more green fingered purchaser!


Champagny is well known as a ski resort (linked to La Plagne) and the hamlet has a daily bus service which runs between it and Champagny (this takes about 10 minutes). However, the area also brings many cross country skiers from all areas of Europe. The chalet has been successful let out by the week for many years now, popular as a base for its proximity to the ski de fond tracks and varied summer walking. The chalet has about 9 weeks of winter season bookings and 10 weeks of summer bookings for the year 2011 – the summer letting market here is very successful.


There are also one or two local campsites and restaurants which open in summer time. Champagny centre is alive in winter and summer with lots of restaurants and bars and outdoor activities. Champagny is accessible from three airports – Grenoble, Geneva and Chambery are all within 2hours 30, and Moutiers is just 35 minutes away where trains arrive frequently from London, Paris, Lyon and many other major cities.

Champagny en Vanoise

Resort Description

Champagny-en-Vanoise is rather special. Its part of the enormous National Parc de Vanoise, a truly beautiful and breathtaking wilderness and it is linked in to Paradiski – one of the largest ski areas in the world. The village is charming. It is a traditional mountain village and has kept, for the most part, an authentic feel. Champagny Station is at an altitude of 1250m so runs back to the village can get a bit scratchy, but this is OK because you can catch the cable back down. Here you’ll find a range of shops, bars and restaurants. It’s all pretty low key and very much aimed at families. There is also Champagny le Haut at 1450m a glorious village that makes you feel as though you’re stepping back in time. When I was last up there I was so captivated I turned into a tourist and started taking pictures. This is a preserved valley, classified in ‘the natural monuments and sites of France’ for its beautiful countryside and the preserved architecture of its villages. It is also the Gateway to the National Park of Vanoise (the oldest National Park in France, founded in 1963) and one of the most beautiful sites for cross country skiing and Nordic activities in the region. So Champany offers a lot more than downhill skiing, there is nordic skiing, snow shoe walks, ice climbing, parapenting, sleigh rides and much more. So from the resort centre you leap on the cable car which can have queues in peak season but once on, 8 minutes and you’re off on your skies. It takes skiers to the Southern slopes and the vast area for boardsports of la Grande Plagne: 225km of pistes for all levels between about 2,000 and 3,000 metres. You can ski on the sunny Southern slopes of Champagny, perhaps on the Bellecôte glacier or in the forest around the villages opposite Mont Blanc, wherever you ski there is plenty here to keep all levels of skier entertained.
