Situated in the Courchevel Moriond area, this chalet offers easy access to an array of sporting activities and an abundance of amenities, making it a perfect base for an unforgettable Alpine getaway.

Courchevel caters to skiers and snowboarders of all levels with its extensive network of well-groomed slopes and modern ski lifts. From beginners to seasoned experts, everyone can enjoy the thrill of gliding down the pristine pistes and exploring the vast terrain of the Three Valleys, one of the largest interconnected ski areas in the world.

For those seeking cultural and historical attractions, the nearby villages of Saint-Bon and Le Praz offer charming alpine charm with their quaint architecture and cultural landmarks. Visitors can explore local museums, churches, and artisanal workshops, gaining insight into the rich heritage of 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 Three 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.
