Quiet village. Les Arcs much livelier but last gondola is 5 pm.We had catered chalet with three families. Ski in ski out and food and drink was amazing. Skiing was varied and excellent.

Montchavin - les coches is a real gem. Regardless of weather and snow conditions the runs from the top of bijoulin (top) lift down to les coches thru the trees are alway quiet and magical. Two predominantly blue runs offer access to 2 tree lined black runs and if conditions permit two red runs that are bathed in sunshine with spectacular views of Mont Blanc across the valley poking above the clouds. With easy access to La plagne and les arc via the Vanoise double decker cable car you will need to keep coming back to try to explore the many villages and 100s of miles of piste. If you love your backcountry. Montchavin - les coches offers many options. Hire a guide (instructor) to show you how easy it is to access. Just a few metres from the pistes, although youd never know. Night life is quite but fantastic eateries.

Montchavin is a lovely, small village which is perfect for couples or families. The village has everything that you need for a ski/snowboarding holiday I.e a couple of ski hire/outdoor shops, a supermarket, and a few very friendly bars/restaurants serving reasonably priced drinks and excellent food. Montchavin provides a great base to ski in the entire Paradiski resort (ie Les Arcs and La Plagne) which is huge and has plenty of snow-sure runs with for all abilities. With the altitude of Montchavin (1250m ASL) being comparatively low to other villages in the Paradiski resort, the snow itself isnt the best Ive skied on. In mid-March 2024 there was no snow in the town, grass visible either sides of the pistes and mud patches and slush on the lowest pistes, however, the snow cannons in Montchavin still allow you to ski right back to your accommodation so this didnt effect us too much. I absolutely would stay in Montchavin again. It is a perfect base for the Paradiski resort offering a cheaper alternative to staying higher up the mountain with a local, friendly feel!
