MONTCHAVIN
Montchavin is set on the mountainside at an altitude of 1450m, facing the Mont-Blanc and overlooking the valley below. This authentic and charming mountain village borders the Vanoise National Park, and forms part of the massive Paradiski ski area. There are a small number of family run restaurants, shops and bars that all combine to provide a wonderful atmosphere in this family ski resort.
Les Trois Glaciers ski apartments are located is on the slopes 500m from the ski lifts, ski schools and the resort village. The residence is made up of three buildings, providing luxury accommodation, ski in ski out and boasting a wonderful traditional family run savoyarde restaurant and bar. There is easy access to la Plagne and Les Arcs via the Vanois express double cable car as detailed below.
The SKI AREA
Paradiski is one of the largest ski areas in the world and one of the largest interconnected areas. The ski lifts rise for an incredible 2000 vertical metres above the village to snowsure glacier snowfields, a figure matched by fewer than a dozen other resorts on the planet. The massifs of Les Arcs/Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne are linked by the Vanoise Express, the world’s largest cable car. This ultra-modern lift is a two-level panoramic cabin and crosses between the massifs of the three resorts in just four minutes. It can carry 4000 people per hour. The Paradiski lift system is one of the fastest and most modern that exists. The double-decker cable car has, in addition to the 360° panorama, a 3-dimensional outlook courtesy of a transparent glass panel inserted into the floor of the lower level of the 2 cabins.
The lifts in the Montchavin/Les Coches sector are fast. And with 70% of the ski runs at over 2000 metres and one of the world’s most modern artificial snow systems, Paradiski guarantees top-quality snow conditions from December to April. With the best-known peaks, such as Mont Blanc and the Pierra Menta forming a panoramic background, Paradiski is also the gateway to the Vanoise national park, a nature reserve of 53,000 hectares.
To get to La Plagne there are a few lift systems you can take but the local slopes have a number of easy-intermediate runs. Montchavin is a little Alpine village linked to the large Paradiski ski area so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.
The slopes of the La Plagne side are mostly north-facing and between 2000m and 2700m making most of La Plagne’s slopes snowsure. The local Montchavin-Les Coches slopes are tree-lined, whereas higher up at altitude the terrain is largely wide open.
In winter, the Vanoise Express 200-person cable car ride (the two-kilometre journey takes just four minutes) is accessible to skiers and pedestrians. On the Montchavin side though, the cable car arrives directly onto the slopes. So you can't reach Montchavin on foot from Les Arcs. To get to the cable car from the Montchavin centre, you need to take one lift and then ski on blue runs - so it’s pretty quick and easy.
Montchavin is the closest resort to the Vanoise Express on the La Plagne side (followed by Les Coches). It's much quicker to access the Vanoise Express from either Montchavin or Les Coches than from the higher altitude La Plagne villages which are further away.
