Courchevel

Courchevel, a Savoyard resort in the Vanoise massif, is part of the Three Valleys, one of the largest ski areas in the world. Spread across several altitude villages (1850, 1650, 1550 and 1300), it offers sweeping views of the Alpine peaks and direct access to the slopes in winter. In summer, the resort becomes a playground for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts alike: the Col de la Loze hike leads towards Méribel along a trail with open views over the surrounding mountains, while the via ferrata at Lac de la Rosière offers a more adventurous option, combining guided climbing with a pristine natural setting around a high-altitude lake. Both activities are popular ways to experience the region beyond the ski season. Courchevel also retains its traditional chalet architecture, set among larch forests typical of the Saint-Bon-Tarentaise valley. The resort appeals equally to winter sports enthusiasts and hikers seeking fresh air and genuine Alpine scenery.
