If you're looking for quick access to either the Les Arcs or La Plagne sides of the Paradiski ski area, there's no better place to base yourself than in either Montchavin or Les Coches.
Both are a very quick lift ride away from the double-decker Vanoise Express cable car, giving access to the treelined slopes above Peisey, which are great for bad weather and a blast when freshly groomed. The local slopes above the resorts are fairly gentle and sheltered, making this a good zone for beginners, whilst advanced skiers will want to head up towards the Roche de Mio to tackle the steeps off the sides.
Both Montchavin and Les Coches are good value bases, with lower prices than further up the hill in La Plagne. Both offer ski-in-ski-out accommodation, including a number of good value catered chalets run by British tour operators.
Evening’s are fairly subdued – if you’re looking for lively après then you’ll want to stay in La Plagne after your day on the slopes.

Updated 02/05
Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.
Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions
Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
