Courchevel is the jewel of the Trois Vallées, the largest connected ski area in the world with 600 km of pistes. The resort spans five villages from the family-friendly Courchevel Le Praz (1,300 m) to the ultra-luxurious Courchevel 1850, home to more Michelin-starred restaurants per square metre than anywhere in France. The skiing is phenomenal: perfectly groomed boulevards for cruising, technical FIS-homologated competition runs, and vast off-piste areas for the adventurous.
