Overview

The bustling and charming villages of Montchavin-Les Coches with cobbled streets and traditional stone and slate houses sit on the edge of the forest in the middle of the massive Paradiski area - one of the largest ski carousels in the world with 425kms of pistes.

The villages are off most people's radar as far as ski holidays go being over shadowed by the goliaths of Les Arcs and La Plagne.

However, once tried, many skiers return year after year as Montchavin and Les Coches offer something the purpose built resorts can only dream of - tradition, culture and history that makes a ski holiday so much more rewarding.

Montchavin - Les Coches are also very family friendly resorts and recognised as such by being awarded the "Familie Plus" label meaning the services available for family ski holidays such as childcare, creche and ski schools are excellent.

Off the slopes, the apres-ski scene is relaxed with a good selection of high quality restaurants and bars where you can rub shoulders with the locals and enjoy authentic Tarentaise cuisine.
