    Montchavin-Les Coches: Experience a unique immersion experience with an unusual night at the Chalet du Plan Bois

    An unspoilt bubble, partly wooded and remarkable for its environmental richness, awaits you in the heart of the La Plagne ski area.

    Initially a place of passage, the Village Plan Bois now invites visitors to linger a while by setting up a base camp for an evening and a morning, with an unusual night in between.

    A programme of nature-based activities, centred around the "intimate cocoon" of local chef Isabelle Gentil. The Chalet du Plan Bois, a genuine high altitude restaurant, is undoubtedly a showcase for local produce.

    It is accessible to skiers and pedestrians.
