About the Resort
Courchevel Village, formerly known as Courchevel 1550, offers a relaxed and unpretentious alternative to its ultra-luxurious neighbor, Courchevel 1850. Nestled in the trees, this charming alpine village boasts a quiet, welcoming atmosphere that is particularly popular with families and value-conscious skiers who want world-class skiing without the extravagant price tag. The architecture is a pleasing mix of traditional Savoyard chalets and modern, comfortable apartments.
The Resort
Despite its tranquil setting, Courchevel Village is exceptionally well-connected. The high-speed Grangettes gondola whisks skiers directly to the center of Courchevel 1850 in just a few minutes, providing instant access to the sprawling Les Trois Vallées network. The village itself features excellent amenities, including a state-of-the-art aquatic center, Aquamotion, located just a short walk or shuttle ride away.
Skiing back to the village is a delight, with a sweeping, tree-lined blue piste (Tovets) and an exhilarating 2km toboggan run that winds its way down from 1850. Whether you are seeking a peaceful family holiday or a strategic, cost-effective base for exploring the world's largest linked ski area, Courchevel Village strikes a perfect balance.
