Chalet Floriane is located in the picturesque Courchevel ski resort, one of the five villages that make up the world-renowned Courchevel ski resort in the French Alps. The village is situated at an altitude of 1550m, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and forests, and is known for its charming, traditional architecture and authentic Alpine atmosphere.
During the winter months, Courchevel is one of the most popular ski resorts in the world, known for its vast and varied ski terrain, including over 600km of pistes as part of the Three Valleys ski zone. The resort is suitable for all levels of skiers and snowboarders, with dedicated areas for beginners, as well as more challenging off-piste areas for experienced skiers.
In addition to skiing, you can enjoy a wonderful range of additional winter activities, including snowmobiling, dog-sledding, and cross-country skiing. In town, you’ll find the nearby village to be home to a number of charming restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as a lively après-ski scene, making it the perfect place to unwind after a day on the slopes.
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.
