WHEN TO VISIT COURCHEVEL 1850

From late December to early April.

BEGINNERS

Courchevel is a busy resort that may not suit all first-timers, with much more peaceful alternatives available, but it does have excellent nursery slopes and some good easy runs next to them to progress on to. There are also half a dozen ski schools operating here including several British run schools that are among the best in the business.

WHO IS COURCHEVEL 1850 BEST FOR?

Courchevel 1850 is one of the best choices for mixed ability groups, families, and non-skiers who still want to enjoy a mountain escape.
