Catered chalet holidays in Courchevel
If you like a bit of glitz on your ski holiday, but you also want to ski the world's biggest and best pisted mountains, then Courchevel is the place for you. It's small wonder that this world-beating combination of the Three Valleys (with over 600km of piste) along with the glamour, grandeur, even extravagance of Courchevel lure people back to this wonderful resort year after year. The resort is made up of a number of villages each higher than the last on the twisting road up the mountain. The lowest Le Praz is pretty and a little quieter, and then further up you have the slightly busier villages of Courchevel 1550, 1600 and 1650. Finally your ascent culminates in the famous international playground Courchevel 1850, complete with its own little airport.
Courchevel offers value in catered chalets to match any resort, but it's not the place to look if you're keen to ski the awesome Troi Vallees on the cheap, as even self-catering apartments are of at least a middling standard. The traditional Savoyard architecture, as in the entire Terentaise valley, is wonderfully crafted and in 1850 in particular the feel is affluent throughout. We love all of the villages because they each provide a great experience in a different idiom. From the absolute luxury to the reasonably affordable, to the pleasantly priced, each chalet experience in Courchevel is unforgettable because the levels of service are surpassed only by the stunning mountain setting. Catered chalets in Courchevel are scattered amongst the abundance of often grand hotels and often have equally good locations in relation to pistes, lifts and the resorts centres.
