Courchevel as a Ski Resort

Courchevel is a ski resort located in the French Alps and part of the famous Les Trois Vallées.

The resort consists of four villages, which used to be named for their altitudes in metres: Courchevel (1850 m or 6069 ft), Courchevel Moriond (1650 m or 5413 ft), Courchevel Village (1550 m or 5085 ft) and Courchevel Le Praz (1330 m or 4363 ft).

Courchevel is also linked to La Tania, which was renamed La Tania Courchevel in January 2017. La Tania was built to provide accommodation to the competitors of the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. 

Courchevel has different facets and it truly has something to offer to everyone, especially since the resort is spread over five altitudes, so you will have access to many aspects and views of the mountains.

With 11 luxury hotels, seven restaurants with Michelin stars and a large variety of luxury shops, Courchevel 1850 is regarded as exclusive and it attracts wealthy clientele including royal families. 

Courchevel 1850 was constructed in the immediate post-war years and it represented an avant-garde design, as it was the first French resort to be built from scratch, rather than based around an existing village.

All villages are strongly linked by lifts, pistes, but also a road, which takes you through all the villages. There are also efficient and frequent buses that link the villages.

There is also an airport in Courchevel. Due to its very short distance (537 m or 1,762 ft) and steeply sloped runway (a gradient of 18.5%), the Courchevel Airport has seen many accidents and it was ranked as the 7th most dangerous airport in the world. Consequently, only specially certified pilots can perform at this airport.
