Accommodation in 1850 is overpriced. 1300, 1550 and 1650 give much better value for money. The slopes above 1650 are the best in the whole of the Courchevel area and are often quieter than the better known pistes.
Drop to 1550 for an affordable lunch.

Courchevel was a great experience but its not worth it when you can stay at the top of the mountain at Val Thorens, get the full powder, views and apres ski experience, buying a 3 valley ticket is 100% worth it for an experienced skier or someone who can navigate blue slopes as you can travel from VT to courchevel in under 2 hours, courchevel has the benefits of easier slopes and more trees!

Expensive resort but great for beginners as lots of green and blue runs. Very well maintained lifts, friendly staff, good off piste bar/cafes

Gateway to the biggest ski area I t he world, but can get very busy in peak high season periods. Very focussed on posted runs with linkages throughout all 4 of the 3 valleys (Orelle a gem of a 4th but a morning of skiing to get there). Great variety, endless options, delightful ski region.

Fantastic resort with first class facilities and lifts. Expensive due to popularity but quality is high.

Courchevel 1850 is a great family friendly resort to go to. In regards to ski school, I attended from age 3-11, with slopes for all abilities- le creux in particular is a slope favourite of mine in the mornings. Whilst the resort also contains a family park with jumps etc which I especially loved as a child. The resort also contains an ice skating rink as well as many restaurants like le fromagerie. With access to both meribel and val Thorens, this resort has a great number of slopes as well as being one of the largest skiable terrains.

Courchevel is a picturesque resort with really well looked after slopes. Furthermore, the area has a good range of slopes for beginnners, intermediates, experts, and freestyle skiers.
This luxury comes at a price however, which is the price!

Pistes are always really well looked after, loads of snow cannons and piste badgers to manage all slopes. Large off piste run run marked out but plenty to explore too

Great resort. Better for advanced skiers and boarders. It is fairly expensive and better to head into the 3 valleys for lunch.
