Champagny en Vanoise is a traditional French village with old farms and good food shops. 'As ski villages go Champagny is about as attractive as you are ever likely to find' Time Out 2006. The skiing in the La Plagne area is wonderfully varied and reliable. You can also drive to Courchevel in 20 minutes. Champagny is very close to Bozel and Moutiers which have good shopping facilities. It is perfectly placed on the edge of the Vanoise National Park.
British Airways and Ryanair fly to Grenoble which is two hours away from the village, and there are also flights to Chambery which is much closer.The Vanoise National Park provides some wonderful trails for walking in the summer. There are waterfalls, wild life and beautiful flowers. Throughout the mountains there are refuges where you can stay overnight if you decide to do one of the major walks. In the summer there is white water rafting, quad biking, mountain biking and swimming all within a short distance.
