Luxury Ski Chalets in Courchevel

Courchevel is famous for its skiing, but there’s plenty to tempt you out of your ski boots. Spend the morning exploring the vast Three Valleys, then swap the pistes for snowshoeing through spruce forests, dog sledding across snowy trails or even paragliding above the mountains for a completely different view of the Alps.

For something with a little more speed, tackle the 3km Moriond Racing toboggan run or the floodlit 2km descent from Courchevel 1850 to Courchevel Village. When the weather turns, Aquamotion offers pools, slides, an indoor surf wave, climbing and an adults-only wellness area, making it particularly handy for families and non-ski days.

Whether you fancy fresh tracks, a snowy adventure away from the lifts or an afternoon firmly dedicated to the spa, there are plenty of things to do in Courchevel beyond skiing

Courchevel does food every bit as seriously as skiing. You can keep things classic with bubbling fondue, raclette and hearty Savoyard dishes in a cosy mountain restaurant, or go all-in on one of the resort’s Michelin-starred tables, where fine dining comes with snowy peaks on the side.

Lunch can be just as much of an occasion, with slope-side restaurants made for long, lingering stops between runs. Then there’s après-ski, from champagne terraces and stylish hotel bars to relaxed spots where ski boots are still very much acceptable. Whether you want comfort food, serious gastronomy or something sparkling before dinner, Courchevel is very good at making every meal feel like part of the holiday.

Great for Babies: Courchevel works brilliantly with little ones thanks to its easy resort infrastructure, spacious chalets and family-friendly villages such as Courchevel Moriond and Courchevel Village. Staying close to lifts, restaurants and childcare makes the logistics of a ski holiday feel far easier.

Great for Kids: Younger skiers are well catered for with dedicated beginner zones and ski schools, while Aquamotion is a brilliant fallback for snowy afternoons or tired legs. The Moriond toboggan run adds a proper dose of fun away from the pistes.

Great for Teens: Older kids can make the most of Courchevel’s direct access to the Three Valleys, with enough terrain to keep confident skiers and snowboarders busy all week. Off the slopes, paragliding, climbing and the longer toboggan runs give them plenty of ways to keep the adrenaline going.

What makes Courchevel stand out is how effortlessly it balances serious skiing with serious indulgence. Spend the morning carving across the Three Valleys, linger over lunch on the mountain, then trade ski boots for a spa, a glass of champagne or dinner in one of Courchevel 1850’s standout restaurants. Few resorts make the transition from piste to luxury feel quite so seamless.
