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.

Courchevel is exactly the luxury it claims to be! Not just the apres-ski and food but the pistes are brilliant. Getting a 3 valleys pass as well and trying to go from 1650 to the end of VT was amazing. Great atmosphere, great accommodations and so much to ski! This place is a dream!

Fantastic week but it was quite busy and generally quite expensive. Food was quite mid-quality for the price. Ski slopes are fantastic though.

Courchevel is a very pretty ski area. Depending on what altitude resort of Courchevel you are in will determine the type of ski holiday.

The higher altitude resort will offer more luxury accommodation, shops and restaurants making it not as fun for those on a budget and is definitely geared to people holidaying with lots of money. The other resorts slightly lower down the mountain are more accessible with better Aprés and slightly more down to earth clientele.

Tree runs, off piste and groomed pistes are great though.

Expensive resort that has bad lifts, short runs, packed with inexperienced skiers and dangerous for children. Would recommend not going their for skiing and choose Val D’Isere for actual good quality for the money you spend.

The 3 valleys is one of the best ski terrains in Europe if not the world, providing expansive areas of skiing for all levels. You can travel too all resorts at all levels with all route providing a choice of green, blue, red or black runs. Courchevel area though is wide and varied enough that you can enjoy a week just in this resort, skiing new runs a routes daily. There are fun parks for kids or parks for those that want to practice tricks. Apres is great, I would say 1650 provides the most varied options, visit the tiger on the piste for a sundowner or live music in the pelican. Food option are vast but can be expensive so I would suggest self catering makes the trip cheaper and travelling out of holiday time too. Peak times can mean some big queues but lifts are managed well. 1650 had lots of accommodation types as does le pea, and even though the latter is low at 1350 is lift system is amazing.

An amazing resort. Free beginner drag lifts, good intermediate skiing and enough variety for an advanced skier to stay in the Courchevel area without needing a 3 valleys pass.

This has been a fantastic experience.

I went there as an au pair (alongside 3 lovely kids) so had a lot of time to myself when the kids were skiing with the instructors! I loved skiing down the black runs, but the blue ones were equally enjoyable and scenic!! Courchevel is the perfect blend of social skiing and adventure, with amazing infrastructure and great views.

Family trip of three generations, several of them new to skiing. One decided that he was too old to ski! All had a great time on the slopes, lessons for the non-skiers followed by practice on the massive beginner area. The rest of us went higher up to the red and black runs for some great skiing.
Plenty of choices for restaurants and bars afterwards and the hotel was reasonably priced with a good Breakfast and Dinner if wanted.

We were in Courchevel almost two years ago, skiing on Les Tres Valles. It was remarkable—beautiful views, amazing people, and really nice slopes. I would absolutely go again. We try to combine travel and adventure with skiing, always searching for new places to go, and the French Alps have definitely been one of my favourites so far, especially here in Courchevel.

Gorgeous spot. Full range of slopes. Even if you only love black diamond, the blues here will be just as fun.
Access to the 3Vallees means you beaver get board of the same runs.
We went early season and snow coverage was decent with only a few closed runs.

Would recommend
