Description

"Trois Vallées" - these are the Belleville, Courchevel and the Méribel Valleys! Together they form the world's largest interconnected ski area with a snow-sure maximum altitude of 3,300 m. The high-alpine surroundings, exceptionally long and varied pistes, as well as a large variety of freerider possibilities and snow parks ensure this region to be an incomparable skiing experience! The resorts in the 3 valleys all have different characters - from charming to sophisticated. However for a while now the typical chalet and apartment houses tend to dominate the resorts charming appearance. The lift connection between the 3 valleys is ideal: you have direct access to the entire ski region, including Europe's highest located ski station at 2,300 m. Courchevel - fun on the pistes on every level!

Courchevel is located in the western part of the famous "Trois Vallées". The sophisticated winter sports resort of Courchevel offers an attractive selection of 150 km of pistes. The area expands over 5 altitude levels between 1,300 and 1,850 m and therefore offers fantastic diversity. Courchevel 1550 is a particularly popular destination with families. Numerous green and blue pistes open up sheer endless opportunities to beginners and wallowers. Courchevel 1650 however offers more challenging pistes and a rather exciting après-ski and nightlife for fairly moderate prices. If you are looking for absolute luxury, party and fun, then you should choose to stay in the high-class part of Courchevel 1850.
