The resort and surrounding area
A prestigious resort, Courchevel, with the three valleys, has the largest ski area in the world, with a diverse range of slopes and landscapes – forests, villages, and high altitude - to delight all skiers. You will enjoy the family atmosphere of the village of Courchevel 1650.
•An encounter with nature
Many walking trails are maintained during winter so that you can discover different landscapes on foot, with or without snowshoes. There are many possibilities: short walks, village visits, or just a moment of freedom in contact with nature.
•Heritage and Tradition:
