About Courchevel Village

What Courchevel Village is like

Courchevel Village, formerly known as Courchevel 1550, offers a relaxed and unpretentious alternative to its ultra-luxurious neighbour, 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.
