Montchavin TSF
Montchavin TSF
Montchavin fixed chairlifts Télésiège (TSF): La Plagne’s lift company, SAP, have made a concerted effort in recent years to upgrade the majority of the old-style fixed chairlifts (télésiège fixe TSF) lifts across the area – but a stubborn number remain around the Montchavin area for some reason.
Thankfully these lifts are all largely avoidable by either taking alternative options (e.g. Plan Leschaux instead of Dos Rond or Crozats rather than Salla) or just avoiding the area altogether (i.e. in the case of the very slow Bauches chair that really only serves one mediocre blue piste, the Bauches blue).

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 you can save a lot of time by making smart lift choices and avoiding slower options. Get your kit sorted early and you’ll waste less time once you arrive.

Old lifts or smart shortcuts, you still need cover
Quick tip: Even if you’re planning to avoid the slower fixed chairs and use quicker alternatives, proper ski insurance still 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.
