Visitor Reviews of Montchavin/Les Coches


Ian C from United Kingdom writes:

We have been going to Les Coches (Montchavin/Les Coches) for years and bought a place out there 5 years ago. It's a great family resort: just 2 real bars for apres-ski and all shops, bars and restaurants are situated around the main square. Little ones can run around out there whilst mum and dad relax with a beer. On the down side my son is currently out there and reports hard packed snow with rocks beginning to show through. It's in desperate need of a huge dump of the white fluffy stuff. I have to say this is the first time in 10 years that it's been like this, so keep watching the forecast and if it snows get out there. If you have little ones this is the place for you. That's not to say it's dead; my teenage sons still manage to get into trouble.
