The number one designer ski destination, this
Three Valleys resort retains its premier position as the most
stylish place to ski in
France. With access to over 600km of perfect pistes
shared with the Meribel
and Val Thorens valleys,
Courchevel 1850 is ideal for
skiers of all standards. This ski resort has it all, and our
chalethotel Dahu puts
you right in the heart of it.
After skiing out on the easy, perfectly groomed
pistes that run through the centre of the resort, leisurely skiers
can potter across to 1650 and enjoy lunch in style and
sunshine. Stronger and more adventurous skiers may head for
the infamous couloirs at the top of the Saulire cable car or the
powder fields of Mont Vallon. In bad weather, there's
sheltered skiing in the forest above La Tania and Le Praz.
Many will want to try the end to end tour to the Maurenne valley
(beyond Val Thorens) and back, which, with the new efficient lift
system, is perfectly possible in a day without rushing.
Bars, restaurants and nightclubs for every
pocket mean that nobody ever gets bored in Courchevel. Some
are inevitably expensive and others surprisingly good value, but
all have a fantastic reputation and atmosphere.
True, the skiing is fantastic, but there
are plenty of other activities on offer too. Ice
skating, bowling, squash, snow-shoeing, tobogganing, parascending…
to name just a few.
