A short 150m walk takes you to the village where there is a variety of shops and restaurants; we really recommend the boulangerie for your morning pastry of choice, baguettes, a variety of sweet treats. The lifts, and ski hire shops are all to hand in the centre of the village.

The nearest chairlift is Plan Bois which is just above the village square, just 5/6 mins walk from the apartment.
The skiing around Les Coches contains some of the most beautiful tree runs in the Alps. From Les Coches you can access any of the La Plagne villages (Plagne Bellacote, Belle Plagne, and Plagne Centre) within 35 mins, via 3-4 lifts. You can also access Les Arcs via the Vanoise express which leaves from just above Les Coches village. You have access to 225km of ski slopes. There is a wide range skiing from beginner, gentle blue runs to challenging black runs, skiing at over 2500 meters on 2 glaciers, 1 in La Plagne, 1 in Les Arcs, to snow parks with jumps and fun slopes.

Summer activities include e-biking and mountain biking, parascending, white water rafting, an array of hiking trails, swimming in the outdoor pool in Montchavin as well as in the lake in the valley, with a 'beach' area, a cafe, Go-Ape trails, bungy jumping, cycle paths. A day trip to Annecy takes 1hr45 mins, and is well worth the drive.

Just 3km down the road lies Montchavin, a traditional alpine village, offering a mixture of restaurants and apartments, and also a cinema, set amidst local houses and hay barns. It is easy to reach Montchavin, either on skis, in the telecabine (summer and winter) or via the free ski bus. Montchavin makes a lovely stop for lunch in the middle of a day's skiing. A new indoor/outdoor pool is open in the summer. Down in the valley, the nearest town is Bourg St Maurice, 16km away, offering a greater selection of shops and supermarkets. In Bourg there is a wonderful Saturday morning market, selling local specialities, and produce. For a quick supermarket stop on the way up there’s is a new shopping complex just off the N90 at Aime, with an E.Leclerc.
