Situated on the second floor of a small residence right at the heart of the village this studio would make a great ski home for a couple or small family. All the amenities of the village are right on the doorstep with both the Montchavin chairlift and the Les Coches “yellow bubble” only a couple of minutes walk away. The studio has been completely renovated (think IKEA) and is READY TO MOVE INTO with RENTAL POTENTIAL.
The studio comes with a ski locker and a cave for storage purposes. Montchavin (1250m) is a lovely, rustic village that still retains its farming heritage. There is a free car park on the edge of the village only a minute’s walk from the apartment. The wooded slopes above the village offer great tree lined skiing, a real bonus in bad weather, whilst the amazing Vanoise Express cable car link to Les Arcs is only 1 minutes ski from the top of the Montchavin chairlift. Fast chairlifts offer access to the higher slopes of La Plagne. The Dos Rond at the top of Montchavin’s local ski area is a great, wide, cruising piste ideal for improving technique. The village has all you need for a great skiing holiday with half a dozen good restaurants, a choice of shops, a small supermarket, a couple of bars and even a cinema which regularly shows films in English. Both the ESF and the, well regarded, Evolution 2 ski schools operate out of the village.
On entering the studio there is a recently fitted IKEA galley kitchen with stainless steel sink, washing machine, oven and ceramic hotplate. Opposite is a nicely tiled bathroom with bath, overhead shower, washbasin and WC. Walking through there is a lounge diner with windows off the lounge offering views over the village. Stairs from the living area lead upstairs to a great mezzanine sleeping area, which currently has a double bed. Please note that there is no balcony but, the very central location and excellent standard of decoration and fixtures and fittings more than make up for this.

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.
