Undeniably the ultimate French resort and capital of Les Trois Vallées, Courchevel boasts one of the most extensive ski areas in the world. Its slopes are vast, varied and immaculately groomed, rating a top 5 placing in Europe for vertical drop. Beginners can find mile upon mile of manicured motorways. Even modest but avid skiers attempt to ski the linked resorts of Méribel, Les Menuires, Val Thorens and the recently linked fourth valley of Orelle in a day, rewarding themselves perhaps with a 'vin chaud'.
Accomplished skiers choose from famously challenging 'couloirs' from the top of Saulire or the vast off-piste areas and heart-pumping moguls. Snowboarders are also catered for with a dedicated park above 1550. The skiing is superlative in Courchevel 1850 with north-facing homeward slopes, high altitude and 474 snow cannons providing a virtual guarantee of good snow all season.
All our accommodation is in 1850, the highest of the Courchevel stations, bringing you a choice of discreet yet opulent hotels and chalets.
The Alpine town has an exceptional selection of restaurants, night-clubs, boutiques and tempting 'patisseries' attracting a chic international clientele. For the night owls, we particularly recommend exclusive night-clubs and several bars with live music.
