Courchevel – One resort, 6 stunning villages, fabulous skiing – J ’arrive!

If you’ve never visited the stunning resort of Courchevel in the French Alps, then add it to your must visit list. Forming part of the Three Valleys ski area — the world’s largest fully integrated network of lifts and pistes, you are in for a very pleasant surprise, in fact you will be truly delighted.

Arriving without any pre-conceptions, the first thing to understand is that Courchevel is made up of a collection of 6 towns, many exuding authentic picturesque charm. Named after their altitudes in metres, Saint Bon, Courchevel 1300 (Le Praz), La Tania 1400, Courchevel 1550, Courchevel 1650 (Moriond) and Courchevel 1850 form quite a collection of Alpine prettiness. 

The opportunity for Ski in/Ski out accommodation choices are wide ranging. 

Courchevel is ideal for all standards of skiers and is particularly great for beginners and intermediates where super wide groomed pistes which link up easily to take you to one of the towns makes for a great day’s skiing. 

Plenty of dining opportunities to choose from on the mountains from expensive to reasonably priced food outlets

Consider a stay at the beginning / end of the season to take advantage of attractive prices as well as uncrowded snow-covered slopes and sunny days. 

On arrival at the resort you are presented with a gobsmacking vision in the form of a €63 million indoor/out watersports centre and spa called Aquamotion. Funded by the resorts of Courchevel, it features 7 swimming pools, three saunas, a steam room, outdoor hot tub as well as an endless surfing wave, a climbing wall, and a selection of restaurants. The good news is if you purchase a Courchevel lift pass of 2 days or more, it includes one free entry to Aquamotion during the duration of your lift pass. 

Saint-Bon where the original resort started offers a selection of hotels and self-catering accommodation along with regular shuttle buses connections to the other towns.
