Champagny-en-Vanoise

Champagny-en-Vanoise sits at 1250 meters altitude within the La Plagne ski area, forming part of the extensive Paradiski network that encompasses over 425 kilometers of interconnected ski slopes.

The village joined the La Plagne ski domain in 1971 following a referendum organized by Mayor Michel Renaud, transforming this former agricultural community into a modern alpine tourism destination.

The baroque church of Saint-Sigismond from 1710 in Champagny-le-Bas houses a carved altarpiece classified as a historic monument, showcasing the rich Savoyard religious heritage of the region.

The Champagny cable car provides direct access to high-altitude slopes and the village offers various accommodations ranging from studios to large chalets with online booking services available.

Residents of Champagny-le-Haut are called 'Les Gorzdérés', meaning 'those who live behind the gorges', referring to the geological formations that characterize this classified glacial valley.
