Courchevel Ski, Snowboard & Summer Holidays

Courchevel Tourisme - Snowpark Courchevel - Jérome Kélagopian

Courchevel boasts some of the best facilities for both winter and summer stays.

Courchevel is not one resort village but four distinctly separate ones. They were renamed in 2011 but are still commonly known by their old names – Courchevel 1850, Courchevel 1650, Courchevel 1550 and Courchevel 1300. They are linked by lifts, pistes and a road which winds its way up from Courchevel Le Praz (1300), through Courchevel Moriond (1650) to the highest resort which is now simply known as Courchevel (1850), bypassing Courchevel Village (1550) on the way.
