The Skiers' Guide to Champagny en Vanoise

Quiet resort but right next to the vanoise for ease of access to multiple areas. Couple of sun trap bars and it's busy during the day as so many people come through off the vanoise, but soon disperse

Pretty and authentic village, which provides cheaper access into the la Plagne ski area. Whilst limited by the sole gondole to upload to the runs from the village which frequently must also be used to return home as the sole red run is often closed due to poor coverage, this side of the mountain is less busy and snow conditions hold up very well. Runs in this area are beginner friendly, have a unchallenging, but very fun, ski/boarder cross run that anyone can access, and give a real feeling of progression to learners. As confidence grows the links into the La Plagne area are excellent and offer great return runs for all levels. A hidden gem.

Enjoyable resort, linkable with les Arecibo if you want a bigger resort, nice village setting if youre after a quiet location
