Discover the villages of La Plagne
Located in the heart of Savoie’s Tarentaise valley, La Plagne is made up of 11 villages, each offering its own unique atmosphere and experience. From the orchards at the bottom of the valley to the snow-capped peaks, the resort’s diversity and Alpine authenticity are its hallmarks.
Chalet du Bois Melay is located in the wooded setting of the village of La Plagne 1800, below Plagne Centre, Plagne Soleil, Plagne Aime 2000, Plagne Villages and Belle Plagne. From your luxury chalet rental, most of the villages of La Plagne are accessible on skis or by free shuttle bus.
The villages of La Plagne Montalbert, Montchavin-les-Coches and Champagny-en-Vanoise are also accessible on skis. By car or cab, you’ll need to pass through the valley to reach them by road.
Plagne 1800 (1 800 m)
A former mining village, La Plagne 1800 has preserved its old-world charm, with wood and stone chalets nestled in the heart of a coniferous forest. This natural setting offers a warm, peaceful atmosphere, particularly appreciated by families and groups of friends in search of tranquillity.
Human-sized and very popular with French and British families, the village of Plagne 1800 offers all the amenities needed for a successful holiday. The village’s shops and restaurants are within walking distance of Chalet du Bois Melay, one of the resort’s finest accommodations. Thanks to its ideal location, Plagne 1800 offers direct access to ski slopes and hiking trails, so you can make the most of the mountains in every season.
Plagne Centre (1 970 m)
Inaugurated in 1961, Plagne Centre is the historic heart of La Plagne. Designed by architect Michel Bezançon, the resort reflects the concept of an integrated resort, where pedestrian areas are clearly separated from vehicular traffic. The architecture, designed with functionality in mind, provides immediate access to the slopes, offering an ideal ski-in/ski-out experience.
Plagne Centre boasts a wide range of shops, restaurants and services, as well as leisure facilities such as an ice rink, bowling alley and cinema, for lively evenings out after skiing.
From Chalet du Bois Melay, you can reach Plagne Centre easily: by the free shuttle bus or on foot via a path linking Plagne 1800, which you can also ski back to the chalet.
From Plagne Centre, access to the Grande Rochette summit by gondola offers exceptional panoramic views of Mont Blanc, Beaufortain, Vanoise and the 3 Valleys.
Aime 2000 (2 100 m)
Nicknamed the “Paquebot des Neiges”, Aime 2000 stands out for its emblematic architecture, inspired by the great transatlantic liners. Designed by Michel Bezançon and inaugurated in 1969, the building embodies the architectural audacity of the resorts of the Trente Glorieuses, with a design conceived for independent living at altitude and optimal ski-to-door access.
Listed as a 20th-century architectural heritage site by the French Ministry of Culture in 2008, Le Paquebot offers spectacular views of Mont Blanc and direct access to the slopes.
From Aime 2000, you can ski to Plagne Centre, Montalbert or back to the Bois Melay chalet with ease.
For thrill-seekers, a 700-meter-long zip line links Aime 2000 to Plagne Centre, for an unforgettable descent over the slopes.
Belle Plagne, the pedestrian alpine village (2050 m)
Combining traditional charm with modern conveniences, Belle Plagne is a fully pedestrian resort village, offering a serene and safe environment.

In summer, the surrounding trails reveal breathtaking panoramas of the nearby peaks.
For skiing enthusiasts, don’t miss the red runs Kamikaze and Hara Kiri, starting from the summit of La Lovatière (accessible by chairlift from Plagne Centre), leading all the way down to Champagny. The return is made on skis via the Verdon Sud chairlift.
La Plagne Montchavin (1250 m) et Les Coches (1450 m)
Located in the commune of Bellentre, Montchavin and Les Coches combine traditional charm with modern comfort. A former farming hamlet, Montchavin features typical narrow streets, wooden chalets, a chapel and a working farm. Les Coches, a more recent village, offers a family atmosphere with its Savoyard residences.
Their central location in the Paradiski area makes them an essential stop-off point for exploring the varied slopes, whether towards Les Arcs, accessible by the Vanoise Express cable car, or towards La Plagne.
From your luxury chalet rental at La Plagne 1800, you can easily access Montchavin or Les Coches via the Arpettes chairlift at La Plagne Bellecôte.
