The Rhone / French Alps / Savoie region
The forests and glaciers of the linked ski areas of La Plagne and Les Arcs create Paradiski making it one of the largest ski domains in the world. The Vanoise Express links Les Coches to Plan Peisey in Les Arcs giving access to 425km of runs allowing skiers of all levels to enjoy the variety of skiing and boarding available. You will definitely be spoilt for choice! A 2 minute walk from our apartment, one chairlift up to Plan Bois and an easy ski down to the Vanois Express brings you to the door of Paradiski. With 2 skiable glaciers as well as some of the highest peaks (Bellecôte in La Plagne at 3416m and Aiguille Rouge in Les Arcs at 3226m) there is guaranteed skiing all season long.
La Plagne has a wide and varied ski area with many kilometres of easy blue runs combined with the more challenging terrain of the Roche de Mio and surrounding off-piste. La Plagne makes a great destination for a family skiing holiday or for a mixed ability group skiing holiday.
Les Coches is north-facing and has a number of snow-making machines so almost guaranteeing snow way beyond Easter. You can ski or snowboard back to the village and there are some great runs home to Les Coches. Pistes such as “Dos Rond” and “Leschaux” above the tree line can be very good for the ego before choosing between several blues and reds through the trees to get you home.

The resort of Les Coches is ideal for those who enjoy a traditional setting, it is a charming, compact and friendly village, surrounded by trees and built in the Savoyard style with natural wood and stone. There is a pretty and atmospheric village square in the centre of the village, only 2-3 minutes walk from the apartment. Within the village you will find a choice of restaurants and bars as well as a bakery, deli and supermarket. If you fancy a change of scenery then Montchavin is just 3km further down the road. Here you will find a traditional alpine village offering a mixture of restaurants and bars set amidst local houses and animal barns.
Non-skiing activities are diverse and include a natural ice skating rink, dog sledding, snowshoeing, paragliding, walking excursions with guides, pub-bars, cinema (Montchavin), and discothèque for nightlife (Montchavin).
How to get there
Travelling to Les Coches has never been easier with so many options on offer – Flight, Self-Drive or by Train.
Ski Fly There are a number of airports to arrange your flight from and many of them operate budget airlines. Geneva Airport – Transfer time approx 2hrs 15mins, 205km. Airlines include Easyjet, Jet2, and British Airways Lyon Airport – Transfer time approx 2hrs 25mins, 210km. Airlines include Easyjet, British Airways, BMI and ThomsonFly.

There are several bus companies who will meet flights - thecoolbus.co.uk, alp-line.com, skihoppa.com, alpinecab.com or satobus.com. Alternatively you can arrange car hire from the airport,
Car Self-drive to the alps is a popular option, especially with larger groups as it can be more cost effective and less stressful, also giving you the flexibility to stop when you want. There are various ways of crossing the Channel including Eurotunnel, Speed Ferries, P&O or SeaFrance. Les Coches is about 620 miles from Calais – approximately 9-10 hours drive and with the exception of the last few miles, the whole journey is by motorway. You will also have the freedom to use your car while in resort if you fancied a trip down to Montchavin for the evening.
Train Alternatively let the train take the strain and go by rail from St. Pancras International or Ashford direct to the Alps. Eurostar takes approximately 8 hours either by day or overnight at weekends. There are no couchettes on this service, it is all seated. Rail Europe’s overnight Snowtrain service leaves London on Friday afternoon to Paris Gare du Nord, with a transfer to another platform to board the overnight train with couchettes which arrives in the French Alps early on Saturday morning. This would enable you to enjoy 8 days on the slopes.

Thank you for all your help organising our holiday - it went so well, and we really enjoyed staying in your beautiful apartment. What a find.
I can't think of anything from your end that would have made the week any better: praise indeed!
Loved the apartment and views! Skiing was wonderful, especially runs down from Roche de Mio - sunshine and powder, couldn't be better. It snowed 50cm here today - we skied right into the building!!
Had a fantastic week - views from the balcony are splendid. Thankyou for all your assistance with organising our trip - all the email correspondence was much appreciated!! Wishing many more holidays here!
Great apartment, we liked it a lot! The location is wonderful, you are almost sitting on the slope.
