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.

Skiing but make it boujee! Perfect mix of fun and luxury. Quick and easy lift access barely any queues ever in January 2026. Service in our hotel - Alpes Hotel du Pralong was amazing 100% recommend. The famous Apres Ski spots and restaurants can be really expensive so be prepared to spend!

Courchevel 1850 is a solid ski resort if you just want good skiing and no hassle. The slopes are wide, well looked after and the snow is usually decent. Lifts are quick and you can get around easy without standing in queues all day.

Stylish ski resort which great access to Val Thoren for a full on ski day. Really recommend getting the 3 valleys pass. Restaurants are amazing off the side of pistes and great locations for Apres - personal favourites, that are more affordable are in La Tania and Meribel.

AMAZING resort, so easy to get to the other valleys with the lifts, we went to a different place every day so never got bored! The apres (while expensive) was always fun and there was something for everyone. There were lots of inexperienced skiers around the area but easy to avoid especially if skiing higher up.

I stayed in Courchevel 1650. Since I last visited in January 2013 the access to the main Courchevel area had been improved. This made accessing the rest of the 3 Valleys quicker. The pistes were excellent for the the first few days due to the fresh snow before I arrived.
Some lifts need replacing. These include the gondola out of 1850 up to Saluire and the gondola from Meribel Mottaret to the same point.
The cafes and restaurants on the mountain were expensive and were not good value.
As a senior I was surprised there wasn't a discount on the pass until you were 75! Then I believe a 6 day pass was 102 Euros. In Tignes and Val d Isere it is free at that age and there's a reduction from mid sixties.
It is a great and varied area particularly when the snow cover is good, which it was. There are fabulous viewing areas on the Caron and La Masse.
The avalanche risk was at 4 or 3 all week so unfortunately I didn't really ski off pistes.
Overall an impressive ski area.

It was a good resort. Lots of different Gondolas to access the mountains and a good variety of green, blue and red runs to keep everyone happy. We went last week of January and it wasn't too busy.
