What Skiers Say About Courchevel

Courchevel attracts skiers and snowboarders of all levels, from beginners to experts, with many reviewers highlighting its connection to the Three Valleys as a major draw. Intermediate skiers dominate the reviews and consistently praise the well-groomed pistes, wide runs, and efficient lift system. Off-piste and tree runs are noted by advanced riders, while beginners appreciate the nursery slopes and ease of progression. The resort's high cost is the most frequently mentioned drawback, with reviewers citing expensive lift passes, food, drink, and accommodation. Après-ski options are well-regarded, though prices vary significantly between locations. Some reviewers mention crowding, particularly with inexperienced skiers, and a few note issues with lower-altitude snow cover later in the season.

Great week here as a family of four with kids age 10 and 8. We skied the whole area and enjoyed the courchevel runs the most. We stayed in 1650 and found some reasonably priced restaurants, some expensive options too if you prefer higher end. Great cheese/delicatessen shop. Supermarket had decent prices. Didn’t use the aquamotion but looked great.

Stayed Courchevel 1650/Moriond had to use three escalators to reach main village and was no issue unless one broke down but was fixed very quickly. Only the one lift out so was a little busy first thing but soon gone at the top.
Great range of blues and greens around both 1650 and 1850 for beginners and easy access to the whole of the three valleys ski area.
Chalet stays are a little bit pricey but well worth it, hire shops plentiful but if you choose to rent a locker at the bottom of lift it’s quite expensive at €90 for the week
1650 pretty quiet regarding Apres but very civilised and if you wanted to stay out late it was all there

We spent a week in Courchevel 1650 and it was a fantastic week, with great skiing and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere. There is good variety of slopes, with wide, cruisy runs, that are great with the kids, making it easy to build confidence and still giving a good variety to stay interesting all week. I loved how much quieter it was compared to the higher resorts, yet I could still dip into the wider Three Valleys when I wanted something more challenging.
Evenings in a catered chalet, had a sociable fee. The apres ski is busy enough for a bit of energy, but wasn't overwhelming. Prices were still on the higher side, but noticeably more reasonable than nearby areas.

Stayed in Courcheval 1650. Easy access to the slopes via escalators and Gondolas, ski lockers were excellent and plenty of them. Also free buses to 1850 for some beautiful slopes - perfect for beginners and more experienced skiers. Not cheap but where in the French Alps is?!

Very elite, very beautiful if you can - it's a must. Amazing scenery, good snow quality and very beginner friendly. Doable for smaller budgets(!) if you stay down at 1550.

Having skied at many resorts throughout my life, Courcheval 1650 has to be up there with the best. Stunning views, massive extensive slopes and runs and a great vibe in the town that cant be beat. Ample shops for foodies and fashionistas, easy transport and links to surrounding areas and truly a beautiful vibe all round.

Another amazing week at Courcheval in March 2026 with beautiful snow and the sun. All facilities are top notch, chairlift lines were not long and it made the skiing experience that more enjoyable! I'm definitely coming back next year!

It’s a massive field with so many options for everyone. The lifts are fantastic and the restaurants on the mountain are great. It is a bit expensive and busy for my liking.

Great trip to Courchevel with loads of options for beginner/intermediate skiier - and lots of options for the advanced members of our group too. Really easy to get about too. Only complaint is that food and drink is VERY expensive so make sure to shop about - we found an apres in 1850 with €7 pints, but at another bar it was over €30.
