The Skiers' Guide to Courchevel: Expert Analysis & Reviews

Amazing resort! Lots of snow cover. Lots of different runs perfect for intermediate, and some green runs. Beautiful views!

Courchevel is a very good ski resort for all standards of skier and when you add the access to the whole of the 3 valleys is an excellent place to ski different runs each day of the week. Lifts can be crowded at times and it is a good idea to take your breaks outside of normal lunch time and ski during the noon to 2.00 pm period. Restaurants can be expensive so so you need to search for the more reasonable ones in the towns. We stayed in 1550 which has a lot of good value family accommodation. La Praz is a beautiful old town and has a great pub, The Elephant, in its centre.

Great skiing area that takes you past a great view of the airport (and sometimes a glimpse of the vips). Some nice well groomed pistes and varied run, with brilliant access to the other resorts close by. By pushing out to the far reaches, there are some nice and quiet runs (time dependent), which makes for sone really good skiing. Overall an excellent place to ski and some nice cafes and restaurants.
