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 skiing but very very expensive for food and drink, quite hard to get about personal transport is a must but still a fantastic place to ski with great access to the three valleys.

Courchevel is a large and beautiful Resort connected to Méribel and Val Thorens by the « 3 vallées » Domain which makes the resort one of the largest of the world.
Courchevel is called « capitale mondiale de Ski »
The very beautiful City has different levels all connected by Ski lifts and buses: Saint-Bon, Le Praz, La Tania, 1550, 1650 and 1850 which is the largest. There are many things to do in Courchevel but everything cost lots of Money.
There are a lot of large slopes on the resort for all type of Skiers,
When its busy you always can find lifts with les people, it is well created.
Courchevel is known as well for the « Eclipse » slope which received the 2023 World Championship of alpine ski and for the Tremplin of the Praz which is the bigest in France for the olympic Games.
Courchevel is also one of the best off-piste resort, plenty of trees, large faces, couloirs and big hits which are my favorite parts!
To conclude, Courchevel is best resort i have skied to but one of the most expensive as well.

Courchevel is a great resort which is family friendly and has a wide variety of slopes for all types of abilities. When I went I had the pleasure of skiing the Grand Couloir which is one of the hardest in Europe, so it definitely has something for everyone! The wide range of restaurants and bars in resort makes it one of my favourite, and the luxury additions such as the gondolas and the stores make it feel very classy. The skiing in general is extremely good and the groomed slopes are very accommodating and fun to ride on. The night life is also very good and the Folie Douce which is accessible in Meribel, is very cool and funky. Overall I love Courchevel and it is one of my favourite places to go if I have the money. Resort prices are quite steep, but this doesnt take away the joy aspect of the resort.

Lovely resort, loads of runs in-between trees at all levels. Some lovely off piste as well that lead back to the piste so can go back whenever you want. Lovely lifts, quite a few new ones and lots of wide open slopes to practice technique on.

Courchevel is very expensive but part of the three valleys, the largest ski area in the world. You cannot bored skiing there for a week. My family owns a chalet there and we go multiple times a year and love it. The resort is high enough that there is usually always good snow. There's decent off piste if you know where to look

This resort is family friendly with lots going on for everyone to get involved in. As a beginner, there are many easily accessible green and blue runs that dont get too busy so its much less daunting. The lifts are positioned well so I didnt need to do any harder runs to explore and travel around the full resort. On a nice sunny day there are amazing views to admire while having a rest from all the skiing! There are also lots of statues and monuments to get pictures with which is always fun. I would recommend this resort for other beginners like myself or those wanting a no fuss holiday with their family.

Courch is an ace resort! Plenty options for beginner through to expert level riding for both skiers and snowboarders.

Ski schools will focus on riding through the three valleys but mainly on courchs seriously well groomed runs. There are teee runs and groomed pistes a plenty with a healthy sprinkle of powder areas and moguls (if thats your thing) aint mine!

The terrain park in Courch is pretty good and well though out although small, as its way to catch the lift back up to the top, esp your of school holiday season.

The Apreś in cours is next level, the part attitude coupled with amazing food in the home of ginepe is the ultimate recipie for a bangin night out and day on the slopes, plenty options for a hangover fuelled amazing breakkie to!

Overall its a great resort with amazing options all round and a legit brilliant party, all day every day!

Courcheval is incredibly family friendly and had brilliant ski schools for kids. The lifts were great although using the gondola/bubble lift every morning can be tiring due to queues. Restaurants are expensive and so more limited however there are lots of lovely shops to browse which makes for a nice atmosphere on the streets. Lots of mountain range too and options to venture into other maps which is perfect for more advanced skiers wanting to cover more distance.
