Montchavin TPH
Montchavin TPH
Montchavin cable car télépherique (TPH): Together, La Plagne and Les Arcs comprise Paradiski, the world’s third-largest ski resort – and this was only possible with the construction of the huge Vanoise Express télépherique TPH cable car that links from the Montchavin sector across to Peisey-Nancroix on the Les Arcs side.
This massive double-deck lift opened in 2003 and ferries skiers and snowboarders between the two resorts every day throughout the season. While a trip to Les Arcs should be on the agenda of every early intermediate and above skier/snowboarder visiting La Plagne, the ride alone on this beast of a lift is an experience in itself.

Sort your Montchavin hire before you travel
Quick tip: If you’re staying in Montchavin or Les Coches, it pays to sort your ski or snowboard hire before you travel. Booking online is usually cheaper, gives you a better choice of sizes and makes your first morning much easier once you get to resort.
That matters even more in a sector where many people use Montchavin as their launch point for big days across Paradiski. Get your kit sorted early and you’ll waste less time once you arrive.

Big mountain links deserve proper cover
Quick tip: If you’re using Montchavin as your gateway to Les Arcs and the wider Paradiski area, proper ski insurance matters. In France, rescue and evacuation costs can be charged to you, even on marked runs.
Good ski insurance helps cover medical treatment, lift evacuation and cancellation if something goes wrong before or during your trip.
