Champagny provides access to the 225km of pistes and 102 lifts in La Plagne.
It is ideal for intermediates with 80% of runs being blue or red. The gondola that links into the Paradiski area rises to 2000m within eight minutes, giving access to 425 kilometres of pistes. Good snow is guaranteed in the Paradiski area with 70% of pistes at over 2000m. At the top of the gondola, chairlifts take skiers to a choice of green and blue runs that are perfect for beginners.
Champagny is at the opposite end of the slopes from the link to Les Arcs but well placed for an outing by taxi or car to Courchevel or even to another resort in the 3 Vallées. Given good snow, there are lovely runs home to Champagny (though not recommended for near-beginners). However, due to being south-facing the runs are often not in the best condition in the afternoon.
The resort itself is full of charm with many traditional buildings made of wood and stone and a baroque church. There is accommodation for parties of various sizes with options ranging from studio apartments to chalets sleeping 15 people. The activities in the village are limited but the adventurous types can try their hand at ice climbing on the ice tower. The village is quiet but is ideal for those who want a peaceful holiday whilst still having access to a large ski area.

Snow Overview
France
Updated 21/01
After a steady period for the French Alps, there is a return to snowy conditions for many areas as this week concludes and into the weekend.
Low pressure marches steadily up the Atlantic Coast of the continent, bringing stormy conditions for the UK and Ireland – Storm Éowyn – but the meeting point between low and high will be right over the Swiss and French Alps. This will allow unsettled conditions to move in and encourage cold air to come in from the north, creating unsettled weather for the region.
Cloud will give way to cloud and snow from Wednesday onwards, with 30cm of snowfall expected down across higher ground on that day. Note this will fall predominantly across higher ground, as the freezing line crawls up to around 2,000m at the same time. Temperatures will fluctuate for the rest of the weekend, staying around 0 degrees during the day, but dropping off to -10°C overnight.
Another bout of snowfall is expected on Sunday, with 15cm expected down on Sunday. Again, this will be limited to higher ground because of where the freezing line sits for much of this time.
