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.

Stayed at Courchevel after skiing Meribel in 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed the 3 valleys. Courchevel full of decent pubs and nice restaurants that don’t only appeal to the more affluent clientele as reputation may indicate. Would definitely return and recommend

As an individual who went with family friends, and the following year with family we love this resort. There is a slalem park where our friends trained that allowed my brother to join in, he’s only intermediate. We loved our time there.

The slopes were all icy when we went in December, so might help if you go in another month with more snow! Very beautiful resort and lots of pistes however

Really good ski resort. We stayed in a privately rented Chalet away from the main resort and self-catered which saved us money. With that in mind, it isn’t a cheap resort but well connected to the 3 Vallées with lots of nice places to eat and have a coffee. If you can afford it, it is great.

Great ski area, but not inexpensive. Good variation of slopes to cater for all abilities and very clearly signposted when moving around the area.

Been going here since i was a kid its always been the biggest best ski resort there is connecting to meribel and val T you can ski to several other resorts as well. Quality of restaurants in this area is top tier. When the snow is heavy off piste is everywhere. Always a blue or green to get about but plenty harder stuff to go find. Can be expensive but worth it. Favourite restaurant - porteta in moriond. Favourite run - le creux

Went here for Valentine's Day with my partner. We stayed at a chalet in Bozel and drove up to ski for three days. The selection and variety of slopes was fantastic, with great powder and stunning views all-around. The dining and apres selections were also top notch. Highly recommend.

Courcheval 1650 was amazing, great slopes, expansive mountains to explore and super nice lifts and amenities. Stunning views all round but if you go right to the top of Meribel, its a great ski down with an amazing view and way less crowded! 1850 was nice too but I preferred 1650 as I didn't have to worry so much about crashing into a royal or a celeb. FunkyFox bar in town was class with great bands, I do wish I’d explored the nightlife of 1850 more however although I’m sure it would’ve cost an arm and a leg.

I came to Courchevel with family and family friends in April and we all had a fantastic time. Even though it was towards the end of the season the slopes were still great. Plenty of options for places to eat out.

It’s pretty nice, there were just some issues with communication about closed lifts and connections. Luckily nothing too bad. Sadly the snow was melting away for us - the resort isn’t very high so I would recommend always going somewhere above 2000

Good resort which is in a good location to ski to other resorts for the day and explore, tons of runs to choose from and doable for beginner-intermediate skiers. The tree runs are really pretty too.

Booked a last minute stay in Courchevel 1550 (Courchevel Village). It has a cute alpine village feel and it’s much quieter than 1800! The Airbnb was fantastic value for money and the handful restaurants there were nice and not crazy expensive. There isn’t a supermarket but the gondola to 1800 runs until late and there’s a big supermarket near to the exit.

We preferred the overall vibe and skiing Meribel side. Plenty of varied lunch options about. And if you can get across to Val Thorens, the views are incredible! We went in the middle of February so it was very busy. Despite some of the long lift lines, I don’t think we waited more than 10 minutes to get on the busiest ones though.

Courchevel wasn’t personally our vibe but would 100% go back to the Three Valleys!

Great resort but best to not stay in Courcheval itself as it is really expensive. Stay outside of obtain a 3 Vallees pass and that’s best value.

If you go to the very top. You can treverse to the right as you look up the mountain.
Some nice steep drop ins with rock either side.
If you climb to the very top and go over the other side there’s virgin powder, but make sure you stop before the cliff face. Got to be at least 2000ft straight down.
Nearly what myself, but managed to climbe back up.
Be carf!!
