Our chalet is located in the Tarentaise valley of the Savoie region of the French Alps in Montorlin, La Plagne Paradiski.

Montorlin is a picturesque small village 10 minutes walk from the resort of Montchavin Les Coches, at the bottom of some fantastic tree lined pistes in the La Plagne ski area, and only fifteen minutes drive from Bourg St Maurice. Set in the heart of the amazing Paradiski, the possibilities for exploring are endless with 425 km of piste featuring glacier skiing all year round, snow parks, forest and motorway runs, together with fantastic off piste.

Chari LiftBoarding the double decker cable car the Vanoise Express at Montchavin Les Coches links the La Plagne Area to Les Arcs, which has created the amazing Paradiski area. Even for the non skiers the Vanoise Express offers fabulous views of the Vanoise and Mont Blanc. Les Arcs, now only 4 minutes away, offers a fantastic snow record combined with north facing slopes, with an excellent selection of shops and restaurants between three bases, 1650, 1800 and 2000. The Les Arc resorts feature night skiing on 3 floodlit pistes, ice skating, an ice grotto, cinema and bowling alley, and squash courts.

A visit to the area is not complete without a trip to Bourg St Maurice. A traditional non resort town, Bourg features an international train station, with London Waterloo only 8 hours 35 minutes away. Check out the fantastic local produce at the weekly market, and the shops and restaurants are also well worth a visit. Our particular recommendation is La Refuge for the food and the warm welcome.
