One of the first things on everyone’s mind when planning a ski holiday is the excitement of choosing accommodation, and this aspect of the trip is one of the reasons Courchevel stands out in comparison to others.
Luxury accommodation in Courchevel is in a world of its own. With many chalets and hotels spread throughout the resort, it can be hard to determine the differences. Luckily for you, this is where we step in to help. There isn’t much you can’t have in Courchevel for an incredible ski holiday. Luxury ski chalet features in Courchevel include, but are by no means limited to, private swimming pools, in-house nightclubs, cinema rooms, wellness facilities and everything in between. You name it, you’ll find it in a Courchevel chalet!
When in resort, I viewed a range of chalets and hotels which are amongst the most luxurious in our entire portfolio. Here are a few favourites, which will each make a great getaway for a ski holiday in Courchevel 1850.
Courchevel not only delivers on restaurants in resort, but excels in its choice of slope side restaurants. Bluebird ski days provide the perfect excuse to sit on a restaurant terrace for hours, soaking in the sun, whilst appreciating excellent cuisine. A great example of this is Cave Des Creux, which sits at an altitude of 2,112m, and benefits from a large terrace and panoramic views across the Three Valleys and Mont Blanc. Originally a home to shepherds, it’s now run by young, local former ski instructors. Implementing regional specialties, quality products, fish, and Asian fusions, this is a fantastic lunch spot for your ski holiday in Courchevel 1850.
Christmas and New Year in the mountains is a truly magical, unique experience, and Courchevel is no exception. Courchevel’s festive season is incredibly popular, and is one of the top reasons people choose Courchevel over anywhere else. Christmas in Courchevel promises parades, dance spectacles, extravagant decoration, visits from Santa and of course, high-end Christmas shopping sprees. A week later, you can delight in New Year celebrations with friends and family, watching the resort’s remarkable firework display. It promises to ‘wow’ year on year. With all of this, it is no wonder why Courchevel 1850 features as one of our best ski resorts for Christmas and New Year!
2023 was the year that saw Courchevel host the Alpine World Ski Championships – one of the most important events in the world of skiing. During this time, Courchevel showcased 12 days of competition, across 6 disciplines, and attracted over 20,000 athletes and spectators from all over the world each day. The resort was even more vibrant and livelier than usual, with keen skiers, and après skiers, flocking to the resort!
You can rent skis from one of the top quality shops in the village. You’ll see a selection of major suppliers in the centre, along with independent shops with brilliant service.
You can easily book online and even have your ski rental delivered and fitted in your accommodation. It’s always better to pre-book in order to avoid queues and high prices on weekends!
Is it your first time skiing? Then it is essential to have ski lessons.
If you already have experience, you can take your technique to the next level. The better you become the more fun there is to be had on the mountain.
You can choose from a wide range of ski schools and private instructors. Private ski instructors accelerate your learning. In addition, they can meet you at your chalet and act as your guide for the day. Group lessons are available for booking at bigger ski schools.
Most of the apartment blocks have been refurbished in recent years giving you a great selection of self-catering options. It’s a way to comfortably enjoy Courchevel on a tighter budget.
A number of hotels give you added service and luxury although choice is a little limited in the small village.
