Courchevel 1300, widely known as Courchevel Le Praz, is the most traditional and authentic village within the famed Courchevel resort. Characterized by its narrow, winding streets, classic wooden chalets, and a stunning alpine lake, Le Praz offers a peaceful and picturesque alternative to the glitz and glamour of its higher-altitude neighbors. The village is also famously home to the Olympic ski jumping hills used in the 1992 Albertville Winter Games. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, Le Praz is a powerhouse when it comes to ski access. The modern Alpinium center features a high-speed gondola that whisks skiers directly to Courchevel 1850 in just under six minutes, as well as a fast chairlift connecting to the wider La Tania and Meribel sectors. At the end of the day, skiers can enjoy some of the best tree-lined runs in the Alps back down to the village. Offering world-class skiing combined with top-tier gastronomy—including Michelin-starred dining—Le Praz appeals to families, couples, and dedicated skiers who appreciate traditional mountain culture without sacrificing access to the legendary 600km of pistes of the Les Trois Vallées.
