RIDERS REPUBLIC - CATERED CHALETS IN LA PLAGNE AND LES ARC FRANCE

WINTER

Our chalets are based in the villages of Montorlin, Montchavin and Les Coches in the La Plagne resort, on the doorstep of the Vanoise Express cable car to Les Arcs. La Plagne and Les Arcs are now combined under a single lift pass as the Paradiski area, providing access to over 425km of piste.

There is terrain for every ability of rider, from greens and gentle blues for beginners, to wide motorway pistes for intermediates and some awesome off-piste for the more advanced. Some of the best runs and off-piste lines are on the Montchavin side of La Plagne. The BellecÙte being well renowned for its descents.

Runs extend to 3250m, so you can be sure of snow all winter (and even all summer on the glacier). Post-riding, you can relax in the chalets, or head out into Montchavin or Les Coches. If you fancy going further, the town of Bourg Saint Maurice is 10 minutes along the valley and has plenty to offer in terms of food, drink and entertainment
