Courchevel

Courchevel ski area

Courchevel is part of the large ‘Les 3 Vallées’ ski area (the largest ski area in the world), which many skiers rightly regard as the greatest intermediate ski playground in the world! This impressive lift-linked ski area is formed of 8 ski resorts:

• Val Thorens
• Orelle
• Les Menuires
• Saint Martin de Belleville
• Meribel
• Brides-les-Bains
• Courchevel
• La Tania

Les 3 Vallées offers you a total of 600km of high altitude and snow-sure ski slopes - every ski enthusiast’s dream! Amazing skiing can be had right from the beginning of the winter season in the Les 3 Vallées ski area and there is something for everyone - no matter what your style or ability. 

The 3 Valleys benefit from excellent snow coverage - the minimum altitude level for skiing is 1300m and the maximum is 3230m. This means that a huge 85% of the ski area is located above 1800m. Some 2000 snowmaking machines cover a third of the ski area as well. The 3 Valleys offer wide ski runs that are maintained nightly by 80 piste grooming machines.

Courchevel skiing info

Beginners:
With over 50 low-level runs (green/blue), the local Courchevel ski area (150km) offers an ideal selection of slopes for beginners and early intermediates. The slopes are wide, gentle and well-maintained and the ski lifts are easily accessible – the perfect combination for learning to ski or snowboard.

There are 4 fun ‘Zen’ areas for beginners in Courchevel (2 in 1850, 1 in Moriond and 1 in Le Praz) that have been especially created for you to be able to ski in complete safety. These areas allow you learn, practice and gain confidence at your own pace amongst other skiers and boarders of the same level in a safe and enclosed area.

Courchevel 1850: Pralong ZEN (alongside the ski tows at La Ferme and the Altiport) and Golf ZEN (accessed by the Jardin Alpin cable car; 2 magic carpet lifts in the area)
Courchevel Moriond: Mickey ZEN (alongside Mickey tow)
Courchevel Le Praz: Envolee ZEN (alongside the Envolee ski tow)

The Western Skipark - discover a fun, safe and enclosed area in the land of Cowboys and Indians! With its wide, gentle runs accessed by magic carpets, your children will love their snowsports experience and enjoy the need for speed with a capital S in this Western-themed atmosphere. And if they want to have a break, they can head to the Indians camp at the top of the safe zone! Access is via the Ariondaz gondola lift.

Intermediates:
The local Courchevel ski area (150km) has over 70 intermediate runs (blue/red) so there are plenty of runs for progressing and more advanced intermediates to practice new skills, improve techniques and push limits. Of course, if you want to venture outside of the local Courchevel area, then you have over 600km in the 3 Valleys domain. More than plenty to keep you occupied on your ski holiday. Val Thorens, Les Menuires and St Martin de Belleville are only 4 fast lifts away.

Advanced, off-piste & ski touring
With over 10 black runs, the local Courchevel ski area (150km) offers good terrain for experts (and plenty of red runs too if your children don't quite fancy the blacks!). Some of the best runs are at the top of the ‘Saulire’ cable car. Those looking for a challenge should try the 2000m/6560ft vertical from La Saulire to Bozel which is below Le Praz.

The whole 'Saulire/Creux' sector, which has an impressive network of red and black runs ranging from 2000m – 2700m, has renowned red runs including Saulire, Marmottes, Park City, Creux and Jean Pachod. And recommended blacks runs: Grand Couloir, Combe des Pylônes, M, Suisses, Turcs, Roches Grises and Chanrossa.

There are also beautiful black runs towards Courchevel Le Praz – especially Jockeys and Jean Blanc. It is also good to know that these runs are ideal when visibility is poor.

Of course, the 3 Valleys domain is right there for the taking, so a venture outside the local Courchevel area will not disappoint! The Belleville Valley (Les Menuires and Val Thorens) is a little out of the way but easy to get to if you are a good skier and well worth it. The steep slopes of ‘Pointe de la Masse’ or the red and black runs of the ‘Cime Caron’ at 3200m are just fantastic.

Eclipse is the new black run designed for the 2023 World Championships in Courchevel. Before welcoming champions from around the world, expert skiers can test it! ‘Eclipse’ starts from the top of the Col de la Loze and is 3.3km long, with a vertical descent of 970m and an incline of 30%. Going through the forest, with a vertiginous view of the village of Courchevel Le Praz, the Olympic jumps and the Alpinium, it is a beautiful run and one of the longest of the ski area.

The local Courchevel area and the whole 3 Valleys offer a lot of off-piste skiing. The safest and easiest off-piste nearest to Courchevel can be found in the ‘Bel Aire’ area which is just above Courchevel Moriond – either side of 'Chapelets/Signal/Pyramide'.

A mountain guide is highly recommended for off-piste skiing in Courchevel – not only for your own safety but also to experience the very best off-piste that Courchevel and Les 3 Vallées has to offer.

Val Thorens FD is accessible to everyone (minors accompanied by their parents). Only those over 18 are allowed on the main terrace from 2pm until closing. Access via ski. Pedestrian access: by Pioneer chairlift for La Fruitière Restaurant only by reservation. Ski back to the centre until the slopes close at 5pm. Last chairlift departure for Méribel, Les Menuires and Courchevel at 4.30pm. Pedestrians: no return by chairlift. Pedestrians must wait for the slopes to close at 5pm and descend on foot accompanied by our security team (20 mins descent). Bring snow shoes! La Fruitière pedestrian customers are invited to wait until 5pm and the radtrack will take them down to Parking P0.

Another great addition is the Igloo Village. The highest of its kind in Europe, it offers an unforgettably cool experience - a living and fun space made from snow and ice. The amazing grotto promises to take people of all ages into a spectacular magical frozen world where they can eat, drink, sleep and play.
