The skiing .....:
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. Just 2 minutes walk from our apartment, one chairlift up to Plan Bois and an easy ski down to the Vanoise 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 family or mixed ability group skiing holidays.
..... and more .....:
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. There are a variety of blue and red pistes through the trees to get you home.
Les Chalets de Wengen is comprised of 130 apartments built in typical Savoyard mountain style with extensive use of natural wood and stone, The complex comprises three 4 to 6 storey apartment blocks (all with lifts) and 10 chalets. Our apartment is on one of the upper levels with spectacular uninterrupted views. A ski locker & underground parking is also included in the rental price.
On the ground floor is a Reception lounge with open fireplace, comfortable seating, complimentary coffee & pool table, and is also where fresh crusty bread, croissants and pan au chocolate can be ordered for collection each morning.
..... and finally :
at the end of the day, what better way to unwind after a hard days' skiing than to take a dip in the pool, followed by relaxing those tired muscles in the jacuzzi, sauna or steam room, then to wander back to the apartment and catch the last rays of the sun on the balcony with a cool glass of local wine or beer taking in the breathtaking views of the Beaufortain Mountains and fabulous sunsets over Mont Blanc.
