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.

Snow Overview

France

Updated 07/04

After a good couple of weeks for the French Alps, things settle down through this week as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions to the region.

Temperatures will be warm, with the freezing line dropping only to 2,500m overnight and climbing as high as 3,500m in the midday sun. A rare flutter of cloud could move in over on Friday and Sunday, but otherwise spring is firmly here in the French Alps.

A couple of flurries of snow could fall early next week as the freezing line drops in to the new week, but it remains a bit too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where this might fall.
