You’re based in the very centre of Courchivel, a true skiers paradise. This is an ideal location, rendering you in close proximity to everything you could need in this most dazzling part of the world. The area is home to one of the world’s most popular ski resorts, ideal for both beginners and hardened veterans. The diverse terrain ensures that skiers can enjoy a range of versatile slopes, from those that border on the gentle to those ideally suited to those with more devil-may-care temperaments. 

People are drawn to the area for two key reasons – a sense of adventure and the ability to unwind in a winter wonderland that conveys an eternal sense of Christmas. Have you ever wondered what it might be like to live in a Hallmark film? Wonder no more. 

Connected to several major airports, you can easily arrive from Lyon, Geneva, Chambery or Grenoble within three hours, and from the airport, there is a vast array of transport options available to you, including a private taxi, rental service and shuttle service. 

The ravishing natural beauty you’ll find here is hard to articulate and has to be seen to be believed. The Alps are, of course, a truly beguiling wonder; the woods are enchanting, and the small villages beam with life and tradition. There’s something truly idyllic about this area, and if you let it, it can transport you away from the troubles of the wider world. 

You’re 200 m from TC Ariondaz, the nearest ski lift, and 200 m from the closest slope, Moriond. It’s the same distance to the nearest ski school where you can familiarise yourself with the equipment and techniques required. 
Many may come here to ski, but it’s not all the area has to offer, so if skiing doesn’t factor into your to-do list, you’ll find plenty more to entertain you.

Adrenaline junkies may enjoy paragliding amongst the peaks for spellbinding views of the vast natural beauty here. Others may long to explore the mountain by horse-drawn sleigh – a very traditional method of transport. Others still may enjoy spending time in the village, with its many shops and its compelling atmosphere. 

If the way to your heart is through your stomach, enjoy the exciting foodie scene. There’s a real French flair here, so ensure that you tuck into golden pastries, grab a hot chocolate and enjoy a gourmet dining experience. 

Read more about Courchevel

Courchevel is made up of six satellite villages, each with their own distinct style and atmosphere, and picturesque forest roads to lead you in-between. Most well known is the illustrious Courchevel 1850 with its reputation for exclusivity and an A-List clientele. 1850 is certainly the place to go for five-star hotels, swanky bars and extravagant nightlife. The other Courchevel villages (such as Courchevel Moriond) have a much more laid back vibe and are certainly the more affordable choice.  

The skiing in Courchevel is split into four levels and you can take an excellent free ski bus in between. At the resort itself you have 150 kilometres of pistes at your feet and while you can get a Courchevel lift-pass you can also ski the whole of the Three Valleys with an area-pass. Since the slopes here face north, the snow at Courchevel is more reliable than elsewhere in the Three Valleys. Courchevel pistes are absolutely unrivaled, meticulously maintained and perfectly positioned to align with the landscape.

With its highest lift at 2740m altitude, Courchevel is exceptionally good for high altitude skiing with incredible alpine views, and the most impressive runs are best suited for intermediate and advanced skiers. But for the little ones just finding their snow legs, the resort has a fantastic children’s village where they can learn in a stress-free environment. Ski season here lasts until late April and even if you prefer not to ski at all, you’ll be well entertained with everything from scenic walks to classical music concerts. 

In the evenings, the Courchevel night skies are lit up by spectacular firework displays that could get anyone in the mood for a night on the town. The bars here are a good mix of casual and upmarket, so there’s plenty for all tastes to enjoy when it comes to après-ski. Courchevel also has a well-earned reputation for being the best ski resort when it comes to gastronomy.
