A brief overview
Quite simply this is the creme de la creme of The Three Valleys
resorts. 1850 in particular has become an infamous retreat for the Paris jet
set & international stars who come back year after year to promenade, eat
fabulous food in wonderful restaurants, and explore this 600km paradise. It is
the northern gateway to The Three Valleys offering the most varied terrain from
long gentle blues to steep couloirs, and superb skiing both above and below the
tree line. Courchevel is split into four village areas, the accommodation we
offer is in either smart, shop & bar filled 1850 or calmer 1650. A regular
ski bus service links up the villages well into the night so it's easy to
sample the apres ski available in each. With a fantastic snow record and over
600km of pistes to conquer, this resort is definitely worth a visit at least
once in your skiing career.
