Courchevel

The largest alpine ski domain in the world is called Les Trois Vallées (Three Valleys), and Courchevel is the largest and most well-known of these resorts. Skiers and riders may access 600 kilometers in the three valleys and 150 kilometers of alpine routes thanks to Courchevel's 60 lifts, which also connect to 10 peaks with elevations over 2,500 meters.

All abilities of skiers may enjoy well-groomed trails thanks to the four meters of snowfall that fall each year. The Three Valleys lift system's carrying capacity will rise with the addition of three more 10-person gondolas.

In total, 23% of Courchevel's pistes are green for beginners and 35% are for intermediates; each of the resort's five distinct towns offers suitable areas for novices to practice and intermediates to develop their skills. There is always at least one free chairlift nearby beginner zones.

Skiers with advanced skills go to this area for its off-piste terrain, couloirs, and black steeps that are dotted with moguls. The new Eclipse slope in Courchevel, which will host the 2023 World Championships, has an average pitch of 30%. The Jockeys and Jean Blanc pistes are particularly great for tree skiing, or you may try your mettle on the former World Cup downhill line, Jean Blanc.

In addition to its world-renowned skiing, Courchevel is renowned for its premium lodges, five-star hotels, and boutique hotels with Michelin-starred restaurants (seven restaurants here have earned stars).
