Once you’re in France, the terrain will gradually become more mountainous as you travel south into the heart of the western Alps. The dense forests and untouched mountain ranges are kept in their natural condition thanks to their isolation, as well as wildlife reserves, such as the _Parc naturel régional du massif des Bauges. _This national park is located just south of Annecy, a popular stop for lunch and a walk. It is the "Venice of the Alps," with canals and stunning lakeside views.
The difficult terrain of the Alps also helped keep many villages frozen in time against foreign invaders, such as the Medieval City of Conflans (_Cite Medievale de Conflans). _Typical Medieval life comes to life on its narrow streets.
The final stretch for this road trip is a winding mountain road that climbs through dense pine forests before opening up to reveal Courchevel. Nestled high in the mountains, this resort will be a welcome sight after your day of travel!
About Courchevel
Courchevel is a world-class ski resort located in the Trois Vallees (Three Valleys) region of the French Alps. Unlike most ski resorts that develop naturally out of an existing town, Courchevel was built from the ground up as a ski resort. It was the first of its kind in France when it was constructed in the late 1940s. Today, Courchevel is the premiere Alpine resort for skiing and other winter sports. It has an activity for every skill level and over 370 miles (600 km) of slopes (that’s 5x the distance from Geneva to Courchevel!).
The resort is divided into villages, named for their altitudes:
Courchevel 1850
Courchevel 1650 (Moriond)
Courchevel 1550 (Village)
Courchevel 1300 (Le Praz)
Courchevel 1100 (La Tania)
Courchevel 1850 is at the highest altitude and is the crown jewel of the resort complex. It often attracts international celebrities for its luxury hotels, secluded chalets, and Michelin-starred restaurants. It is the largest of the five villages and has the most amenities, including 24 five-star hotels. The meticulous focus on luxury, privacy for the elite, and convenience keeps guests coming back year after year.
Courchevel is frequently used for winter sports competitions, including the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville and the 2023 Alpine Ski World Championships.
In addition to skiing, Courchevel offers a wide range of winter activities, including snowshoeing and ice skating. Visitors can also enjoy helicopter tours, providing a unique perspective of the stunning Alpine scenery. In the summer, guests can go swimming, horseback riding, and hiking.
Beyond winter sports, Courchevel is known for its vibrant après-ski scene, with sophisticated lounges and exclusive nightclubs.
Whether you're an avid skier or simply looking to indulge in a luxurious mountain retreat, Courchevel offers a blend of outdoor adventure and relaxation that keep it a top-ranking Alpine destination year after year.

“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”
“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”

“We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.”
“We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable”
“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
“We used the service twice while in Thailand. Extremely prompt and efficient customer service. Best rate being offered in Chiang Mai for the travels. Polite, punctual, professional and English speaking drivers. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Being a regular visitor to Thailand, this was hands down the best service. Most pleased with the company. I hope it sustains the excellence of service that was rendered to us.”
