Les Coches Ski Resort Guide
Les Coches Ski Resort Guide
Les Coches is situated in the heart of snow-sure Paradiski, one of the largest ski areas in Europe and offers you 425km of pistes and more than 2000m of vertical drop. Originally two distinct resorts - La Plagne and Les Arcs - the construction of the Vanoise express lift in 2003, the largest cable car in the world, joined the two areas into one domain - Paradiski. Situated in the heart of the the Paradiski domain, just a five minute ski from the Vanoise express lift on the La Plagne side, Les Coches is ideally placed for exploring both La Plagne and Les Arcs. The Village does not suffer from the over crowded feel of some of the larger resorts but still has a good choice of bars and restaurants plus shops and a covered skating rink. Les Coches is not aimed at the party going crowd, but more at people who appreciate skiing in a traditional French resort. Much of the accommodation offers Ski – In Ski – Out, which is another godsend for those who prefer not to start the day on crowded buses or walking for half an hour to get to the piste. The skiing is suitable for all abilities with gentle runs back to resort for beginners and a huge domain with two glaciers for snow-sure skiing for the experts. There are two ski schools with English speaking instructors and guides.

Visitor Reviews of Les Coches
Mike from United Kingdom writes:
Stayed in Les Coches at Chalet Mazot in March 2010, for a long weekend. Great late season snow and quick access to both the La Plagne and Les Arcs area for some fantastic skiing. Snow coverage was great, even at end of season due to height of the resort.
Would also thoroughly recommend Chalet Mazot: direct access to the slope, great food and excellent hosts.
Resort is picturesque and quiet - not for Apres-Ski Junkies, but a great family resort.
Highly recommended, and perfect for access to some great snow sure skiing.
