Courchevel Reviews

Great resort, good slopes, very pleasant and safe

• Larger ski area, variety of slopes, atmosphere
• Parking is difficult.

I love Courchevel for its stunning scenery, with its diverse villages at different altitudes and with varying styles. The setting is magnificent, and the snow is excellent thanks to its favorable exposure. I love the panoramic views from the top of La Saulire, but also the forest at La Tania, and Courchevel 1850. The ski lifts run very smoothly. There are numerous activities besides skiing, and the weather station emphasizes this diversity. For me, it's the best resort in the 3 Valleys.

• A very varied ski area, with slopes facing different directions to suit different times of day, very different villages, many runs through the fir trees, activities other than skiing for pedestrians, snowshoeing
• The prices for all services are quite high, which attracts a wealthy clientele.

An ideal station for everyone, from experts to beginners.

• All levels and very broad field
• A little more green

Having skied in all the French ski resorts, Courchevel remains my favorite for the diversity of its slopes, its excellent exposure, and the wide choice of runs, restaurants, and accommodations. It's still a fairly chic resort without a cross-country ski area, but if you prioritize downhill skiing, it's paradise, especially with the 3 Valleys easily accessible.

• Huge ski area and connection to the 3 valleys
• Restaurants and shops are a bit pricey, parking is limited, and there's no Nordic ski area.

Courchevel, and the 3 Valleys, have a worldwide reputation that is anything but undeserved.

• Vast area and lifts up to standard

A good compromise between skiing and après-ski

• Estate in the heart of the 3 valleys
• Difficulty finding parking for the day

Unparalleled level of service, the best ski area in the world, quality restaurants,

• Gastronomy, miles of slopes, vertical drops, ski-in/ski-out

A very good resort, apart from the price of the lift pass.

• Access to the 3 valleys
• Bling-bling hotels in 1850

The variety and the size of the terrain was more than we could explore over the course of 6 days . Apres ski scene was surpassing anything we have experienced in North America.

Courchevel is a resort in the 3 Valleys that's well worth a visit, both for its ski area and for the hordes of nouveau riche who flock there from Eastern Europe and the United Arab Emirates. Aside from the circus-like atmosphere in the resort itself, the ski area is truly extraordinary.

• Immense
• A clientele of wealthy extraterrestrials
