Courchevel is a
resort that looks to the future
Although the resort of Courchevel
already enjoys international renown, it
does not plan to rest on its laurels
and is working on numerous architectural,
promotional and property projects,
as well as on a fresh events policy.
The ski area : a key
asset
Today, Courchevel owes a large proportion of its world
renown to its ski
area, the 3 Valleys. With 600 kilometres of ski-runs and
nearly 2,000m
of vertical drop (between an altitude of 1300 and 3230
metres) the sky
is almost literally the limit for snowboarders and skiers.
What is so
special about the Courchevel ski area is its geographical
location; it
is set in amongst the trees of the forest, ensuring that
visitors enjoy
a totally relaxing break thanks to
both the setting
and the quality of skiing.
The 3 Valleys: the summits of
quality
Wherever you turn, the 3 Valleys ski area offers both
exceptional skiing
and outstanding panoramic views. You can even cross the
Three Valleys and
reach the Cime du Carron at Val Thorens in less than two
hours, from Courchevel.
With the ongoing development of the ski-lifts, which
are permanently being
made faster and safer, the emphasis is placed heavily
on the pleasure of
skiing.
And above all, there are no more lift
queues. You can reach the summits
quickly and without requiring a high skiing
level. Equipped with your ski
map and ski-pass, you are ready to discover a few
of the Three Valleys’ 335
downhill runs including 48 greens, 138 blues, 119
reds and 33 blacks.
Off-piste
enthusiasts or those seeking a few
thrills and spills are also more than
catered for with the area’s 10,000
hectares of off-piste skiing
and gullies.
Courchevel:
“The pleasure of skiing”
Ever since the Forties, the resort has
had just one credo, inspired by Emile
Allais, a former world ski champion and
director of the resort for many
years: “Skiing is a leisure activity and
must remain a pleasure”. top Eat Courchevel
