As part of the massive Three Valleys, the friendly atmosphere and compact nature of Courchevel 1650 means that it is fast becoming more popular than its more fashionable and expensive neighbour just up the slopes of Courchevel 1850. If you would like the opportunity to do a bit of people watching in 1850 all the Courchevel resorts are linked by a free Resort bus service.
In addition to the world-renowned skiing to be found throughout the Three Valleys linked ski area, Courchevel 1650 features a good variety of restaurants, bars, and shops along the main street of the village, including our famous Rocky's Bar in Chalethotel Les Avals.
If you are interested in ski or snowboard lessons, it is now possible to book online with New Generation, one of our partner ski schools in resort.
Children and beginner skiers are well catered for with nursery areas situated at the bottom of the slopes in 1650 and groomed wide and cruisy blue runs. With a superb lift system Courchevel offers great skiing opportunities for the intermediate skier from leisurely blues to trickier red runs. Experts are well catered for with a choice of challenging on and off-piste runs, and the area is fantastic for snowboarders, from those first few linking turns to confidently trying new tricks in the snowpark above 1850.
