Located in the beautiful village of Montcahvin in the La Plagne ski area, sits our almost new, 6 bedroom Chalet Edelweiss with it's fabulous lounge-diner/kitchen on the top floor. The ceiling has been heightened to give a real feeling of space. The beautifully crafted wooden beams offer that essential alpine character of a ski chalet. The chalet has views over the village and the Tarentaise Valley towards Mont Blanc. This contemporary chalet has been constructed in keeping with the cute cobbled alpine town in which it sits. It is a favourite chalet amongst our guests with many families and groups coming back year after year.
The chalet is laid out over 4 floors with 6 spacious bedrooms each with a wardrobe and twin beds; a huge open-plan dining lounge area; hot tub on the balcony and fabulous views. On the ground floor and first floor there are three ensuite twin rooms and one ensuite triple room. On the second floor, Chalet Edelweiss offers a great family room with two sleeping zones (twins and bunks) separated by a large bathroom in the centre, making it ideal for families. Next to this there is a further ensuite twin room. All rooms can be adapted for couples by pushing the beds together.
Hot Tub: From the main living space there is a good sized balcony with a large hot tub where you can have a glass of wine or beer whilst watching the mountains turn a beautiful sunset pink.
Chalet Edelweiss has underground secure parking for 2 cars (book in advance €100 per place, not suitable for vehicles over 1.8m). With ski-in-ski-out possible most of the season, the main gondola only two minutes walk away offering direct and quick access to both La Plagne and Les Arcs (Paradiski) and an apres-ski bar right opposite, the chalet really is situated in a one of the best spots in Montchavin.

Chalet Edelweiss is a non-smoking chalet and ashtrays are provided on balconies for smokers. Please refer to the floor plans when booking as you may wish to select a particular room or floor. Your Chalet Hosts live out.
Chalet Edelweiss is located close to the village, making it very easy for you to come and go as you please. If you have small children it’s easy to pop back to the chalet if they need a break. Adults too! This chalet is ski in, subject to snow conditions. Chalet Edelweiss is just a few minutes walk from the Centre of the quaint cobbled village, where you will find a variety of shops, restaurants, bars, bakery, delicatessen, supermarket and a swimming pool complex.
The Montchavin gondola is just a few minutes walk from the chalet and takes you into Les Coches, from where you can access La Plagne or take a gentle 150m ski to the Vanoise Express from where the vast Paradiski® ski area beckons. La Plagne is linked to Les Arcs and Peisey Vallandry via the Vanoise Express, making the area into what is known as the Paradiski®; one of the largest ski terrains in Europe. “A playground with no boundaries”, with 425 skiable kilometres, 264 tracks, 3250 metres of altitude at the top of the domain. The ski schools for the area are easily accessible either in Montchavin itself or just at the top of the Les Coches cable car.
When they linked La Plagne and Les Arcs together to create Paradiski, they created the third largest skiable area in the world. La Plagne ski resort, including its linked area with Les Arcs, has over 460kms of piste across an altitude ranging from 1250m to 3250m. In 2006 the largest and fastest cable car (at the time of opening) in the world opened and linked La Plagne to Les Arcs Ski Resort creating a vast ski paradise, aptly named Paradiski®. Continuous investment has made this one of the best ski areas in the world. Our catered ski chalets are brilliantly located right in the centre of the entire area, giving you the opportunity to select skiing in Les Arcs or La Plagne on any given day. Or even both if you are quick enough!
The local ski area is made up of wide open and undemanding slopes, making this ideal beginner and intermediate skiing territory. Directly above this area is the Bellecote mountain and from here there are plenty of challenging long off piste descents from the summit at 3417m. Add in the cable car link to Les Arcs and yet another huge valley is opened up, making this ski resort one of the finest for vast and varied terrain. La Plagne is home to one of the only bobsleigh and luge tracks which was built in 1992 for the winter Olympics held in Albertville. Give it a go for an awesome adrenalin rush!
