Welcoming the rich and famous Courchevel has cultivated its image as the most luxurious brand in the French alps. The hotels & chalets of 1850 are irresistible with ski-in / ski-out access and a range of gorgeous terraces for entertainment.

Beyond the hype surrounding Courchevel is a seriously good ski area – the biggest in the Alps and many would argue the best. It has height, diversity, range and a massive quantity of lifts and ski pistes – all making up Les 3 Vallées.

Dining in Courchevel is simply incredible. Whether it’s dinner in the resort, or lunch on the mountain, Courchevel offers some of the most celebrated kitchens in the Alps. And La Folie Douce is on hand to round off the lunch with a Génépi.

Corporate ski event activities are some of the best in the whole of the Alps with sky diving, paragliding, skidooing, ice driving, snowshoe walking, husky riding, ice diving, tobogganing and spa on offer. After that it’s après ski time!

COURCHEVEL SKIING

Courchevel is mainly ski-in / ski-out with 5 ski lifts leaving the centre of the resort and 3 main ski piste arteries cutting through the resort, back to the centre on gentle scenic routes. In all directions, there is skiing but most leave Courchevel and head either south or east, accessing the superb Saulire or Loze areas.

This is where the terrain gets steeper and access to the other Les 3 Vallées ski areas is possible. The best steep skiing in Courchevel can be found at Saulire, whilst the less adventurous can bypass this on a great, long blue – Creux. This is also the location to access Courchevel Moriond. The Courchevel ski area is varied, extensive and one of the very best in France.

Courchevel is the eastern part the massive Les 3 Vallées ski region – the biggest linked ski region in the world. Unlike many other linked ski regions, Les 3 Vallées is superbly connected offering a logical link between these 3 diverse valleys, with wonderful terrain, incredible vistas and stunning villages.

Méribel in the centre has extensive off-piste to the south of the resort, whereas Val Thorens in the western extremity of Les 3 Vallées offers superb, snow-sure, ski-in / ski-out, high-altitude glacier skiing. The route from Courchevel Moriond to Val Thorens and back is easily possible in a day and is a fantastic experience. Les Menuires, St Martin de Belleville and La Tania ski areas make up the remaining parts of Les 3 Vallées skiing.

COURCHEVEL APRÈS SKI

Courchevel après ski is more toffee vodka and champagne than beer swilling, ski boots on tables.
