Winter AdventuresFrench Alps
Courchevel is part of the world’s biggest lift-linked ski area, has the most balanced range of runs in the 3 Vallées to suit all abilities, reliable snow: what more could you wish for? You could come to Les 3 Vallées for weeks and never ski the same slope twice; and there’s no better place to experience it all than at Courchevel! Courchevel’s four separate villages sit amongst the north-facing slopes on the left side of the map and offer probably the most balanced selection of greens, blues, reds, and blacks in the 3 Vallées, making it our top resort here. If you’re up for exploring more however, the ski area is well linked so getting to the other end isn’t too difficult.
