Courchevel 1850 offers some of the most reliable and polished skiing in the Alps. With direct access to 600 kilometres of linked pistes, it’s an exceptional base for skiers who want variety, reliability, and efficiency without compromise.
The local slopes are immaculately groomed, with wide blues and reds that are ideal for intermediates, and steeper terrain higher up for more confident skiers.
Beginners are particularly well catered for, with gentle learning areas at Pralong and Bellecôte, supported by excellent ski schools and well-designed lift systems that keep things calm. For stronger skiers, routes like Combe Saulire offer long, satisfying descents, while links to Méribel and Val Thorens open up the full Three Valleys network within minutes.
Snow quality between December and March is consistently strong, helped by Courchevel’s altitude and a significant investment in infrastructure. More than €125 million has been invested in lift upgrades and snowmaking since 2013, ensuring reliable conditions even in warmer seasons. As a result, many guests find they rarely need to leave Courchevel 1850 itself - everything they want from a ski week is right on the doorstep.
