Ski area Courchevel

With the "Vallée de Courchevel" lift pass you have access to a ski area with 150 km of diverse pistes which has a lot new aspects to offer. Several lifts have been extended in the meantime: the 6-person chairlift "La Forêt" with covers replaces the old 4-person gondola, and the lift "Aiguille du Fruit" was also renewed. The 10-person "Grangettes" gondola, which connects Courchevel 1550 with 1850, will be redesigned this season, cutting travel time in half.

Numerous green and blue pistes offer beginners a wonderful chance to try out and get to love skiing. The pistes and lessons are to be found rather in the lower and more forested areas, which offers protection against wind and snow. But also the more advanced and free riders will find perfect conditions higher up the mountain: The red and black pistes offer many opportunities for fun and diversity. For a real kick of adrenaline we recommend the run down steep mountain side at the Saulire. The "Family Park" snow park on the Verdons lift is also very suitable for beginners. There is also a Western Ski Park for younger guests at the Ariondaz lift.

For pros and experts we recommend the upgrade to the "Les 3 Vallées" lift pass (see ski region).

In the tourist office, as well as in many mountain railway stations, you have access to Wi-Fi hotspots. You can also use the "Les 3 Vallées App" to find out about piste and ski lift openings/closings and the local weather at any time. Would you like to meet up for lunch at the hut? Use the app to share your location and see exactly where your friends and family are in the ski area. You also receive information and safety notifications directly on your smartphone and, in the event of an accident, the nearest rescue service can be alerted with just one click.
