Chalet Bleu is located in the world-renowned ski resort of Courchevel 1550, a highly sought after destination in the French Alps. Located in the Savoie region, Courchevel is a part of the Three Valleys ski area, one of the largest in the world.
If you’d like to fly into the area, Chalet Bleu’s nearest airports are Geneva in Switzerland and Lyon in France, both of which are just over two hours away in a private vehicle. From the airport, you can arrange for a private or shared transfer, or rent a private vehicle to make your own way to the resort. Alternatively, you can also drive directly to the villa in your own vehicle thanks to Courchevel’s excellent road links and the provision of a parking space at the chalet.
Once at Chalet Bleu, you’ll find Courchevel 1550 to be a laid-back, elegant resort that caters for skiers and non-skiers alike with ease. In the winter, the resort is known for its excellent skiing and snowboarding facilities, while in summer the area transforms into a paradise for hiking and mountain biking.
For those looking for a more relaxed vacation, Courchevel has a charming village centre with a variety of shops, restaurants, and cafes to explore. The resort is also home to a number of luxury spas, where guests can indulge in a range of beauty treatments and massages.
The Region
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
3 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.
