Courchevel is regularly named as one of, if not the best, ski resorts in Europe, and the guests it attracts are a testament to that ranking. Royalty and celebrities alike are known to flock to this collection of villages in the French Alps. Not at all surprising as the dining and shopping are as top-notch as the skiing itself. Keep company with kings and queens, princes and duchesses, as well as songbirds and award winning actors as you explore this beautiful and elite destination.
Located in one of 3 valleys in this area of the French Alps, Courchevel is part of the largest linked ski area in existence and connects to other resorts throughout the Trois Vallees area. The intricate and expansive group of ski lifts allows for easy access with rarely any lift lines, to the world-class runs and different areas of the mountains. The ski area is meticulously manicured and groomed year round to create unrivaled conditions, while the location grants excellent snowfall yields and extended seasons due to northerly facing runs. With conditions such as these, Courchevel draws a large number of professional skiers and is home to an impressive number of ski instructors to help you to better your skills. Even those who do not count skiing as a hobby will want to suit up for a few runs, if only just to say that they skied at one of the premier resorts in the world.
The 5 villages that are linked by this spectacular ski area each have their own personality and style. At lower elevations, Saint Bon and Le Praz are authentic mountain villages where you can mingle with locals and appreciate the wooded forests and fragrant meadows. Le Praz features traditional chalets and narrow avenues for you to explore and marvel at. The next 2 villages, Courchevel Moriond and Courchevel Village are more family-friendly and are home to sledding hills and ski runs that are more manageable for younger guests or beginning skiers. The final village is Courchevel; the epitome of indulgent and extravagant ski culture with the best restaurants and accommodations. Everything about this village is over the top in the best possible way. Enjoy shopping and dining that is as unparalleled as the skiing. With the exception of Saint Bon which is served by a shuttle, each of the villages is linked by quick-moving runs so getting from village to village is an easy task.
Summer in Courchevel is also a magnificent event; with sunny days that require picnics, hiking, biking, fishing and other outdoor adventures. Visit the nearby National Park for wildlife watching or take in the view of the herds of cows that dine from the succulent meadows surrounding Courchevel. These cattle provide the “white gold” that is made into highly sought after regional cheeses. The spas in the area are as distinguished as everything else on offer in the villages and provide the chance to unwind and be pampered in an idyllic setting.
