Local area:
Just 3km down the road lies Montchavin, a traditional alpine village, offering a mixture of restaurants and apartments, set amidst local houses and hay barns. It is easy to reach Montchavin, either on skis, in the telecabine (summer and winter) or via the ski bus. Montchavin makes a lovely stop for lunch in the middle of a day's skiing. Down in the valley, the nearest town is Bourg St Maurice, 17km away, offering a greater selection of shops and supermarkets.
How to get there:
Les Coches lies on the border between the two fantastic ski areas of Les Arc and La Plagne.
By Car, it is 930km from Calais, taking 9 hours.
By Air, the following airports are within easy reach: Chambery (1hr), Grenoble (2hr), Lyon (2hr), Geneva (2.5hr).
By Train, the nearest railway station is at Landry, only 10 km away, where both the Eurostar and the Snowtrain stop. It is very easy from there to get a taxi or a bus into the resort, the Eurostar goes direct to Landry from Waterloo. There are two Snowtrains: 1. The Blue Snowtrain, departs from Folkstone on a Friday evening on a coach which takes you through the Channel Tunnel. On the other side you join the overnight train that takes you all the way to Landry. 2. The White Snow Train, is the Eurostar from Waterloo to Paris, which is where you pick up the Snow Train. The return is late Saturday evening.
