Courchevel, France

Courchevel is a chic superstar of the Three Valleys ski area, offering world-class skiing, stunning scenery, and a luxurious atmosphere.

Skiing in Courchevel

Beginners: Each village hosts its own Zen Zone of sheltered greens. In 1850, the Bellecôte and Biollay areas offer free lifts and wide, confidence-building slopes. Gentle blues like Verdons help beginners link turns while soaking up mountain views.

Intermediates: Courchevel’s blues are some of the best in the Three Valleys. Glide down the long, rolling Creux, lap the sunny reds into Moriond or cruise Loze Est for Mont Blanc panoramas. With fast lifts everywhere, you can cover serious mileage without repeating runs.

Advanced & off-piste: Tackle the steep, often bumpy Face black, built for the ’92 Olympics, or the narrow couloirs off Saulire. Guides lead freeriders to hidden powder in the Roc Merlet bowls and the Coulées des Pylônes, safety gear and local knowledge are essential.

Snowboarding: The Family Park above 1850 mixes kickers, rails and a mini half-pipe, great for progression. Natural gullies under the Vizelle gondola ride like half-pipes after fresh snow, and chairlifts mean minimal drag-lift hassle for boarders.
