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.

A great resort which is very my different from the gluttony of 1850. We stayed at Le Portetta for the third time, which was amazing. The skiing was outstanding with huge snowfalls and peerless slopes, what more could one want ?

Three valleys is one of my favourite places to go, courcheval is my favourite, nice ski runs for people of every level. And the food and night life is fantastic.

Probably my favourite resort in terms of the overall combination of quality pistes, lifts, and off-piste facilities (eating/drinking/accomodation/apres), plus the added bonus of Meribel and Val Thorens nearby

Huge resort with loads of runs. Great for boarding as long as you don’t get caught on the few flat runs!!

Have been several times, always a great way to escape the day to day. If you go in December just before Christmas snow is good & slopes are quiet. Can be pricey but food & drink options are great!

Went to Courchevel earlier this year with my brother and dad. It was one of the best trips I’ve been on. We stayed in a shared chalet with three or four other families. Food was fantastic, the accommodation was really accessible from the slopes.

Apres-ski and drinks were easy to find, although on the more pricey side.

Skiing itself was fantastic. A huge variation of runs, easy to build up throughout our time from greens, blues to reds. Scenery was beautiful too

Endless fun, you can do different areas all week as Courchevel is so big itself but then having access to Meribel and Val Thorens too is amazing. Wish I could afford to spend weeks here! It’s obviously not cheap but staying lower down the mountain helps- Le Praz has easy access to the slopes without paying premium prices in the hub and is a lovely town to stay in

Been going here for years, it is expensive, but it is genuinely the best out there for a reason. There are ways to find cheaper accom and the lifts are always so reliable but a major perk is the fact that it is in the three valleys and it has such a major range of runs and the apres is unmatched.

Couchevel was great for our group. We had a mixed group of abilities but the slopes catered for everyone.
The food and drink options of the mountain were great. The lifts were all modern. And there’s loads of places to go in the village too when you’re not skiing

Amazing ski range to suit all abilities skied here with group of friends & family , although expensive the 3 valley mountain range is by far the best. I’ve skied 3 resorts in Canada and all over Europe.

A brilliant resort with extensive runs across a range of abilities. The size of the valley and the easy links to others makes for free slopes with little to no congestion. Away from the slopes there is plentiful entertainment from restaurants to bars and live music. It is an expensive location but the skiing justifies it

I stayed in courchavel 1850 the resort is great for ski/board in and out and have great chalets and hotels. The resort allows for you to ski from top to bottom at 1550 with access to the 3 valleys giving you over 600km of skiing. If you are looking for luxury with great skiing/boarding this is an amazing resort however the big let down for it is its apres as with the cost of food and drinks you could easily spend £200 - £300 per night in comparison to other resorts. My recommendation would be to spend a day travelling to Meribel where you can experience a much more lively atmosphere for apres

I was there with my extended family as part of my mother’s last request ( her estate paid the bills) some of the young children had not Ski’d before. There were plenty of slopes for all abilities and great choice of restaurants.

I skied Courchevel during a terrible period for snow, but still managed to get a couple of little doses of powder. The lift system was great, and there is fantastic terrain. The off-piste options are mostly a little shorter than at neighbouring Meribel, which meant there was less competition for the good lines. Would definitely go back.

Great place for varied groups of skiers/snowboarders. We went as a group of 12 of mixed abilities from ex-pro to absolute beginners and there was something for everyone on mountain with places everyone could access for après together after a days skiing.
