Courchevel is a French Alps ski resort. It is a part of Les Trois VallĂŠes, the largest linked ski areas in the world.
Also, it’s a winter playground for the rich and famous â attracting a steady influx of stars from Beyonce to Beckham. Ironically, the resort was originally planned to create jobs and skiing for the masses, but somewhere along the lines, it morphed into the luxury resort of The Alps.
There are 50 five-star hotels in the whole of France and nine of them are in Courchevel. As well as top hotels,
Courchevel 1850 is often overshadowed by its repute as the most exclusive destination in the Alps. However, it also deserves fame for its all-rounder excellence.

You will enjoy Courchevel’s slopes whether you’re an absolute beginner or someone seeking knee-deep powder fields.
