Montchavin – Les Coches with Kids – Family Adventure, Skiing, and Summer Magic in the Alps

There’s something special about Montchavin–Les Coches. These two little Alpine villages – perched on the La Plagne side of Paradiski – are cozy, quiet, and absolutely made for families. Think cobbled streets, panoramic views of Mont Blanc, traffic-free zones, and chairlifts just steps from your front door.

Whether you’re planning a snow-covered escape or a sunny hiking week, Montchavin and Les Coches are packed with things to do – and Little Peaks Nannies is right here to help, offering loving, English-speaking childcare all year round.

❄️ Winter in Montchavin & Les Coches: Big Skiing, Small-Village Vibes ❄️

This is one of the best family bases in the entire Paradiski area. You’re linked to both La Plagne and Les Arcs via the Vanoise Express, and you’ve got everything you need without ever stepping into the chaos of the bigger resorts.

 

What to do in winter:

  • 🎿 Direct access to Paradiski – lifts right from Montchavin and Les Coches

  • ⛷️ Quiet, gentle slopes near the village for young or beginner skiers

  • 🛷 Sledging areas and snow play zones

  • ❄️ Ice skating rink in Les Coches

  • 👣 Snowshoeing trails and forest walks starting right from the villages

  • 🚠 Ride the Vanoise Express for a day over in Les Arcs

  • 🧊 Spa & wellness centers – because parents deserve a soak too!
