    Courchevel Ski Resort

    Courchevel village is a glamorous ski resort in the Three Valleys ski area, which includes Val Thorens and Méribel. Courchevel ski resort is comprised of four settlements: Courchevel 1850 has the best skiing, shopping and plenty of family-friendly activities. Courchevel Moriond (formerly known as Courchevel 1650) is more traditional, and more reasonably priced. Courchevel 1550 is quieter with a mixture of accommodation, and lastly, Courchevel Le Praz (formerly known as Courchevel 1300) is an authentic Alpine village full of character. The ski resort’s many amenities could keep you busy for weeks on end, but it’s also compact enough to make a long weekend ski break more than worthwhile. Superb facilities, adventure experiences and plenty of alternative snow activities make it equally ideal for family ski holidays, so whichever kind of holiday you have planned, they’ll be plenty of options to make the most of your time in Courchevel.

    With 600km of ski runs and covering an area of 105km2, it is the largest ski area in the world with some superb skiing on offer. Courchevel is best known for its intermediate-level skiing, but beginners and experts will also find plenty to keep them occupied. The piste-grooming facilities at Courchevel are excellent, although you’ll always find the best snow above 1650m.

    After a day on the slopes, our experts particularly recommend Chalet Rikiki with its outdoor hot tub or Hotel Portetta with ski-in, ski-out access to the slopes. Our ski experts are here to help you find the perfect Courchevel ski package. Contact our team or browse our latest ski deals to start your Courchevel skiing adventure.

    Marks' Top Ski Runs

    Altiport (Blue)
    I love that this run is right next to the airport. It is the perfect learning run for beginners trying to master parallel turns. It is great because it is fenced and not too steep.

    Creux (Blue)
    This is one of the most popular blue runs in Courchevel, and personally one of my favourites. It is wide and open, and great for warming up.

    Grand Couloir (Black)
    This is a really famous black run. Starting from the Saulire cable car, it is very steep and requires real skill. I love the challenge of it.

    • You are looking for an expansive, varied ski area
    • Some of your group are non-skiers. The village life is great!

    Courchevel Ski Holiday FAQs

    Courchevel is nestled in the heart of the Alps, high up in the Tarentaise Valley. It is a part of Les Trois Vallées which is made up of Courchevel, Val Thorens and Méribel – the largest linked ski area in the world.

    Courchevel is comprised of four settlements: Courchevel Les Praz, 1300m, Courchevel 1550m, Courchevel Morion 1650, and Courchevel 1850m. As Courchevel is part of the Three Valleys, you can access slopes up to 3,230m.

    Après ski in Courchevel varies by village. Courchevel 1850 offers champagne terraces and sleek bars. Head to Moriond (1650) for bars like Le Pelican known for live music and sing-alongs. Courchevel Village (1550) is much calmer and ideal for a relaxed glass of wine rather than a big night out.

    Creux is great! It offers a wide, cruisy blue ideal for confident skiing. The Saulire area is a bit harder with reds and blacks, as well as the famous GoPro Couloir. Moriond is much quieter offering  Grandes Bosses and Gentiane, while Le Praz challenges with blacks like Jean Blanc.

    With 600km of ski runs and covering an area of 105km2, it is the largest ski area in the world with some superb skiing on offer.

    Courchevel’s snow is very good due to its high altitude and location. A majority of the ski area sits over 1800m, and the north-facing slopes stay cold throughout winter.

    Snowboarders will find plenty to love in Courchevel, with its vast, varied terrain offering everything from wide, well-groomed motorway runs to off-piste powder stashes and terrain parks for those looking to build their freestyle skills.

    Courchevel has one of the highest concentrations of Michelin stars in the world, led by the three-starred Le 1947 at Hôtel Cheval Blanc, alongside two-star Baumanière 1850 and renowned one-stars like Le Chabichou and Le Farçon.

    Five-star accommodation, Michelin-starred restaurants, designer boutiques, and reliable snow, all connected into the Three Valleys, the world’s largest linked ski area, make Courchevel a truly luxurious ski resort.

    Most UK travellers fly to Geneva or Chambéry. Shared shuttles or private transfers can be arranged. Not wanting to fly? The Eurostar Snow Train runs direct from London St Pancras to Moûtiers, about 11 hours door to door, with a short onward transfer.
