Resort: Courchevel sits in the heart of the famous 3 Valleys ski area offering access to 600kms of marked piste, and unlimited off piste terrain. What makes Courchevel different is that it is not one single resort, but spread across four different altitudes; Courchevel Le Praz 1300, Courchevel 1550, Courchevel 1650 and Courchevel 1850; each offering a very different image and village feel.
Winter: Courchevel is one of the resorts in the largest linked ski area in the world; Les Trois Vallées. Discover panoramas and magnificent scenery stretching from the Mont Blanc massif in the north to Les Ecrins massif in the south, as well as a unique view over the Swiss and Italian Alps to the north and east. In a few hours you can reach the summit of Les Trois Vallées massif, the Pointe de Thorens (3266m) at Val Thorens, by one of the 200 efficient and rapid ski lifts in the area.
Summer: Many people are still oblivious to the wealth of summer activities that Courchevel & the 3 Valleys has to offer during the warmer months. Once the snow has melted you are left with a summer paradise in which to walk or hike, mountain bike, paraglide, rock climb or just lie back amongst the summer flowers & take in the stunning scenery. The lift system is open during the summer, making it easy to access those high mountain trails & viewpoints, or if you fancy something more daring then there are numerous mountain guides & activity companies in the area to accompany you.
Property: Prices in Courchevel are sky high and get even higher with altitude so Courchevel 1850 is much more expensive than Le Praz. We have selected just one or two properties which we can recommend as offering exceptional value but which are in prime locations. If you would like your apartment or chalet to pay its way then these properties will also rent well.
