About Les Coches
We are situated in the mountain villages of Montchavin and Les Coches. Les Coches and Montchavin are 3 km apart, with their own ski area at the heart of the massive Paradiski area of La Plagne/Les Arcs.
Les Coches is a village of traditional style buildings with a combination of old world character and contemporary comfort, with a few local restaurants and bars. There are 2 bars and 1 night club open till late for those of you who can dance until 2am!
Montchavin is an authentic Savoyarde village and a vibrant ski station. As night falls the village lights make for a magical setting in this picturesque mountain village. Access by vehicle to the centre of the village is strictly controlled which means there is very little noise to disturb the tranquillity.

Our chalets and apartment are in the heart of the Paradiski area (420km of piste) offering more than enough variety for any level of skier or snowboarder.
The Paradiski area comprises of the 2 huge ski areas of La Plagne and Les Arcs linked by the Vanoise Express cable car. Montchavin-Les Coches is perfectly placed in the centre giving quick and easy access to both areas. The Paradiski area has something for everybody.
For beginners there are three local areas specifically designed for you in Montchavin-Les Coches with nursery slopes separated from, but next to, one of the tree lined runs, which leads back to the chalet.
1) One beginner area in Montchavin, 2 beginner areas for the ski schools and a tow rope. Perfect for a great start. 2 restaurants close by.
2) The Sauget beginner area (1420m) has a enclosed beginner area with a tow rope and for the next level up there is a drag lift.
3) There is also a gondola (Lac Noir) which takes you up to the Plan Bois beginner area (1870m) where there is a travellator and a drag lift plus 2 restaurants called Crystal de Neige and Le Plan Bois. From here there is a beginner run back down to Les Coches and Montchavin.
The wide blues and reds of the Paradiski area are perfect for intermediates and the blacks on the Bellcôte Glacier and Aiguille Rouge are testing enough for any advanced skier or boarder.
The famous off-piste route down the North Face of the Bellcôte Peak is well worth experiencing - you will need a qualified guide to show the way, we can vouch for the fact that it is awesome.
This is a great area for boarders, beginners and experts alike. There are some fantastic cruisy blues to get you started, a great off-piste playground, half pipe, board parks and boarder cross.
