Set in a quiet corner of Courchevel, a world-famous ski resort in the heart of the French Alps, Chalet Chabichou has one of the best locations you could ask for when looking for your next ski break.
Courchevel is part of the Three Valleys ski area, the world’s largest interconnected ski area, with over 600km of pristine to provide endless opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, and more.
To start your holiday off, making your way to Chalet Chabichou is relatively straightforward and easy. With an on-site garage, Chalet Chabichou has wonderful provisions should you wish to drive directly to the property from your home or from another destination in a rental vehicle.
If you wish to fly into the area, Chalet Chabichou’s nearest airports are Lyon in France and Geneva in Switzerland, both of which are around a two-and-a-half drive away. From either airport, you can arrange for private transfers or take a rental car to the resort. There are also regular transfer services that operate from both airports to Courchevel during the winter season, however, these take slightly longer than a private transfer.
When not on the slopes, Courchevel boasts an aquatics centre with an indoor pool, waterslides, and a spa as well as a variety of shops, bars, and restaurants in the village.
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.
