The resort that set the standard, and still does
Courchevel has been the benchmark for the luxury ski holiday for so long that other resorts measure themselves against it, usually with a faint air of resentment. It earned the position honestly: purpose-built for skiing in the years after the war, with runs that come right to the chalet door, immaculate grooming, a ski school of real quality and, in time, more fine dining than any sensible mountain village has a right to.
Our Courchevel collection runs to 280+ chalets, from cosy family chalets in Le Praz to the great ski-in ski-out houses of 1850, with indoor pools, spas, hammams, cinema rooms and a chef who will have the fire lit and the tea ready when you clump in at four o'clock. Many are fully catered, and our concierge can staff the rest.
Courchevel is not one village but several, each with its own character and altitude. Below is a guide to choosing between them, when to come and how to get there.

1850 for the grandest ski-in ski-out chalets and the smartest restaurants, Moriond for sunny slopes and families, Village and Le Praz for charm, pine forests and better value, and all of Les 3 Vallées within reach of a single lift pass.
The grandest chalets, right on the piste
Courchevel 1850 is the resort most people picture: the great timber and stone chalets of the Jardin Alpin and Bellecôte, set among the pines with the piste running past the boot room. Everything converges on La Croisette, where the lifts leave for the Saulire and the rest of the valleys, and where a remarkable number of fur coats somehow survive the snow.
The village has a cluster of Michelin-starred restaurants, boutiques that would not look out of place in Paris, and the Altiport, a short, steeply sloping mountain runway that receives private planes and helicopters. The chalets here are the most sought after in the Alps, and the best weeks book early.

Sunnier slopes, prettier villages, gentler prices
Courchevel Moriond, at 1650 metres, is the sunniest of the villages, with broad slopes ideal for improving skiers and a friendlier, family atmosphere. Courchevel Village, at 1550, is small and pretty, linked to 1850 by a gondola and well placed for both. Le Praz, at 1300, is the original farming village, with old stone houses, a frozen lake and a run home through the forest that is a joy in a snowstorm.
Le Praz also hosted the ski jumping at the 1992 Winter Olympics, and the jumps still stand above the village. Chalets in these villages often offer more space and character for the money, with the same lift pass and the same snow.

Six hundred kilometres of piste from the chalet door
Courchevel sits at one end of Les 3 Vallées, the largest linked ski area in the world, with around 600 kilometres of pistes shared with Méribel, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Les Menuires and Val Thorens. Strong skiers can cross the whole area in a day and be home for a late lunch; everyone else can spend a week and never ski the same run twice.
Courchevel's own slopes are known for their grooming and for being north facing, which keeps the snow in good condition. There is serious off-piste for those with a guide, a famous beginners' area above 1850, and the Saulire couloirs for anyone who wants to frighten themselves before breakfast.

Chefs, spas and a concierge who has already booked the instructors
A Courchevel chalet is as much a hotel as a house. Most of our larger chalets come with a chef and staff, a spa or indoor pool, a boot room with heated racks, and a driver to take you to the lifts or up to dinner. The best have ski-in ski-out access, so the day begins with clicking into your bindings on the terrace.
The season runs from early December to the middle of April. Christmas, New Year and February half term are the busiest and most expensive weeks; January brings cold, quiet slopes, and March the long sunny days. Our concierge can arrange ski hire fitted in the chalet, private instructors, lift passes, mountain restaurant tables, helicopter transfers and childcare.
