Champagny-en-Vanoise Transfers

Champagny-en-Vanoise is a gem in the French Alps that’s been winning skiers’ hearts for decades. Perched at 1,200 metres, this charming village offers the best of both worlds – traditional Savoyard character and access to world-class skiing.

The resort’s popularity skyrocketed in the early 1970s when it joined forces with La Plagne. Then in 2003, the Vanoise Express cable car linked it to Les Arcs, creating the massive Paradiski area. Now, skiers can explore over 425 km of slopes right from Champagny’s doorstep.

What makes Champagny special is how it’s kept its cosy village feel while offering top-notch skiing for all levels. Beginners can find their feet on gentle slopes, while experts can tackle challenging off-piste routes. The resort is also famous for its Nordic area in Champagny-le-Haut, perfect for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. But it’s not all about skiing. The village boasts attractions like the Espace Glacialis, teaching visitors about local glaciers, and plenty of après-ski options.
