Courchevel, France

ONE RESORT, SIX VILLAGES, SIX DIFFERENT WORLDS

Nestling on the high slopes of the Tarentaise valley, Courchevel and its six villages come into view as you round the bend of a scenic, winding road, surrounded by forests and breath-taking panoramic views... Six villages interlinked by ski lifts or free shuttle buses form a single “ski-in/ski-out” resort sporting multiple worlds and a host of different atmospheres.

Saint-Bon is a village steeped in history with its Baroque church, quintessential mountain village streets and traditional chalets. From the village’s municipal hall there is a stunning downhill run to the village centre. More intrepid skiers can set off from the top of La Saulire, at an altitude of 2,740m, and ski down to Saint-Bon at 1,100m of altitude, without stopping, to experience one of the truly “great ski” downhill runs.

Courchevel La Tania, the most recent of Les 3 Vallées resorts, is an unspoilt haven of nature, a car-free village much-loved by young and old alike. Nestling amidst pine forests, it is the perfect spot for reaching the Méribel ski area or embarking on a sweeping circuit across the Courchevel area, as far as Courchevel Moriond for example. The long green run Plan Fontaine is a firm favourite with the kids.

Courchevel Le Praz is a traditional mountain village graced with authentic architecture, timber chalets and narrow streets. It is also home to the Olympic ski jumps as well as the finishing line of the Éclipse run, the famous racetrack for the forthcoming Courchevel-Méribel 2023 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. It is also the starting point for a fabulous ski touring trail, which charts a fantastic ascent up the mountain.

Courchevel Village is tucked behind the top of a wooded mound, in a prime central location with Courchevel Le Praz and Courchevel 1850 within easy reach along runs of all levels. Everything is easily accessible here, all in the centre for maximum convenience in a friendly and cosy atmosphere.

Courchevel Moriond is a world all of its own, with wide open spaces bathed of sunshine, popular among families and teenagers for the five specially laid out thematic fun spaces and the snow garden opposite the outdoor restaurant areas, meaning you can admire your kids while sipping a hot chocolate.

Courchevel 1850 is the largest of the six villages and the beating heart of the ski area with its wide array of ski runs for all levels and access to La Saulire, which culminates at 2,740m, as well as the rest of Les 3 Vallées skiable terrain, its massive Family Park with its modules and snowboard cross, the freeride zone at altitude beneath the Creux Noirs area, and last but not least, the start of the Éclipse racetrack for the future Courchevel-Méribel 2023 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships.
