Chalet Eolia

Chalet Eolia sits in a quiet corner of Courchevel Le Praz, a charming and traditional village at the heart of the Courchevel ski area, allowing it to take in stunning views of the surrounding mountains from all angles.

As part of the Three Valleys, the largest ski area in the world, Chalet Eolia has over 600km of world-class pistes suitable for skiers and snowboarders of all levels on its doorstep. The village itself is a winter wonderland with plenty of outdoor activities such as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and dog sledding.

To get to Courchevel, you can drive directly to the chalet at your leisure, or you can fly into Geneva or Lyon airports and then take a private transfer or rent a vehicle to complete the journey. You could also take a shared transfer from the airport, however, this will likely take longer than a private transfer for just your party.

In addition to skiing, Courchevel also offers a range of après-ski activities, including a cinema, bowling alley, ice skating rink, and plenty of restaurants and bars. The village of Le Praz itself has a lovely atmosphere and a range of restaurants, cafes, and shops.

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.
