Property Description
What a lovely apartment, decorated and furnished to a high standard in a modern, contemporary style and situated in a small, 5 storey residence. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a terrace offering lovely views over the valley towards Mont Blanc it really does offer excellent, family ski accommodation. The lovely village of Les Coches (1450m) is at the heart of the fantastic La Plagne, Les Arcs, PARADISKI ski area which offers an amazing 425 km of piste and a wealth of off-piste possibilities.
The accommodation is all on one level. Originally designated as two smaller apartments that were then developed into one it offers a spacious layout and nicely separates the living area from the sleeping area. An entrance hallway leads to an open plan lounge with dining area and fitted kitchen as well as a shower room and WC and some excellent built in storage solutions. There are three double/twin bedrooms and a further bathroom with WC. Throughout the apartment quality wooden flooring, (tiled in the bathrooms) and stylish fixtures and fittings have been used. A large terrace, 17.5 sq.m is found at the front of the apartment and, of course, the residence offers ski locker facilities. A first class ski apartment in excellent decorative order that would make a superb home in the mountains for a family or a group of friends
Les Coches is a family friendly ski village that has been developed in a sympathetic chalet style. There is a pedestrianised heart to the village with a variety of ski shops, restaurants, a couple of bars (including the excellent The Last One) and a good supermarket. Access to the slopes is via the 6man Plan Bois chairlift or the Lac Noir gondola or “white bubble” as it is known. The new Telebuffette gondola now links the chairlift to the Lac Noir gondola; great news for pedestrians and beginners alike. A short walk from the apartment—less than a minute—allows a short ski down to the chairlift and the Telebuffette gondola and you can ski back to this point. If you want you can walk a minute or so up the road and ski down the piste to the lovely village of Montchavin The local ski area offers some excellent tree lined pistes that are great in bad weather—as is the excellent Plein Soleil restaurant for that cosy lunch by the fire. High altitude La Plagne is accessed by a series of chairs and the amazing Vanoise Express gondola whisks you to Les Arcs in 4 minutes. Both La Plagne and Les Arcs offer something for everyone with fast ,wide cruising pistes, tougher black runs and off piste for the more experienced skiers and a choice of terrain parks for boarders to play in.

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.
