About the Resort
About Courchevel Moriond
Courchevel Moriond, formerly known as Courchevel 1650, is famously situated on a sun-drenched balcony, giving it the brightest weather in the Courchevel valley. This vibrant resort sits just below the ultra-luxurious 1850 but offers a noticeably more relaxed, laid-back atmosphere, making it a favorite for families and groups looking for excellent skiing without the extreme price tag.
The Resort
The skiing directly above Moriond is distinctively wide, rolling, and impeccably groomed, creating a paradise for intermediate cruisers and confident beginners. Despite its local charm, it is fully integrated into the world's largest ski area, Les Trois Vallées. Skiers can easily access the steeper terrain of 1850 or seamlessly ski over to Méribel and Val Thorens.
Off the slopes, the village retains a traditional yet lively character. A bustling main street is lined with excellent bars, traditional Savoyard restaurants, and bakeries. Additionally, Moriond is just a short walk or escalator ride from Aquamotion, the largest European mountain water park, providing incredible off-slope entertainment and relaxation.
On the Mountain
