Ski area Courchevel
Numerous green and blue pistes offer beginners a wonderful chance to try out and get to love skiing. The pistes and lessons are to be found rather in the lower and more forested areas, which offers protection against wind and snow. But also the more advanced and free riders will find perfect conditions higher up the mountain: The red and black pistes offer many opportunities for fun and diversity. For a real kick of adrenaline we recommend the run down steep mountain side at the Saulire. The "Family Park" snow park on the Verdons lift is also very suitable for beginners. There is also a Western Ski Park for younger guests at the Ariondaz lift.
For pros and experts we recommend the upgrade to the "Les 3 Vallées" lift pass (see ski region).
In the tourist office, as well as in many mountain railway stations, you have access to Wi-Fi hotspots. You can also use the "Les 3 Vallées App" to find out about piste and ski lift openings/closings and the local weather at any time. Would you like to meet up for lunch at the hut?
