Courchevel
Courchevel is in the Savoie department of the Rhone Alps.
This popular and well known ski resort forms part of the 'Three Valleys' Alpine ski region (with Meribel and Val Thorens), together forming the largest ski area in the world.
Courchevel comprises several 'separate' resorts, broadly named after their altitude above sea-level (although not always strictly accurately) - hence we have Le Praz (aka Courchevel 1300), La Tania (aka Courchevel 1350) and Courchevels 1550, 1650 and 1850.
Courchevel 1850 was the first of the resorts to be constructed, soon after the second world war, and remains the largest of the resorts. Things have changed a great deal during the last 50 years - including the implementation of a vast 'snow generator' system with hundreds of snow cannons to ensure you will always be able to ski.
Because of the large area covered, it is not surprising that the resorts offer skiing for all levels of skier, from the complete beginner, via an extensive range of blue and green runs, to a wide network of highly reputed 'black runs' and ample cross-country and off-piste opportunities for the very experienced. There are 150 kilometres of ski runs and 170 ski lifts.
Quite possibly Courchevel 1850 and the related resorts will have all you need, but ski passes can also be purchased which allow access to the whole Three Valleys area - which have been designed as one interlinking ski region, allowing easy access between them.
All facilities - day and night - are catered for with numerous ski related shops, other shops, restaurants, bars etc.and Courchevel is recommended for both enthusiasts and families looking for a ski holiday together.
If you are a summertime mountain enthusiast, Courchevel will still welcome you, with easy access to some stunning hikes through great scenery, outdoor activities at La Saulire, mountain biking and mountain climbing etc, and the opportunity to explore the Vanoise National Park.
