  We ski in Champagny every year and love it. It's no longer a must to stay at the top of the village as there is now a shuttle bus linking all parts of the village and there are secure ski lockers at the top of the gondola so you can leave skis at the top all week. Even from the bottom of the village, it's only a 10 minute walk (by the side of a stream) to the shops and gondola.

  The village is lovely: friendly, pretty, good range of restaurants offering a wide range of food (and price points) and there's good local shops if you're self catering. Plus, you may find your neighbour is a French farmer rather than fellow holiday-makers.

  The skiing in La Plagne is fantastic with brilliant views. The local Champagny slopes tend to be quieter than those over the other side of the mountain (in La Plagne). The range of slopes in the La Plagne ski area is massive. It's an easy ski to get over to La Plagne (for all but the most timid) and the most timid will find enough in the Champagny local slopes to keep them happy.

  I visited Champagny a few years ago but doubt the resort would have changed much in that time. It's a typical small French village set up on a steep hillside, reached after a hair-raising drive with long drops!
  Its main advantage is that it is a cheapish way to ski La Plagne, which it is linked to. The village is split in 2 halves. It's better to be at the top next to the main (only) lift! Stay in the Club Alpina which is more or less next door to the lift, the foods good too.
  If you stay in the lower half of the village you have to get an escalator up to the top half as the hill is too steep!
  The skiing faces south and it gets a lot of sun, not good later on in the season. The local slopes are fairly bare and not too interesting, but the views over to Courchevel are fantastic. Which is another reason to stay here. We skied Courchevel on the same lift ticket as they have a 2 day arrangement to ski at different resorts in the valley, it's about 20 mins away by car.
  The links into La Plagne are good and well signposted so no problems. The local nursery area is small and steepish for 1st timers.
  Overall a very pleasant place to someone who wants big area skiing on their doorstep with the option of skiing Courchevel.
