Nestled in the Three Valleys, this legendary resort combines championship skiing with a charming Savoyard village atmosphere. Begin your ski journey at any of Courchevel 1850's rental centers, where you can get premium equipment fitted before hitting some of the Alps' finest slopes. Then take your first runs on the Grandes Bosses, a confidence-building cruiser with stunning views that gets your muscles warm. After some time, progress to the challenging Combe run, which drops from the Saulire summit through varied terrain and spectacular scenery. Courchevel's snow-farming techniques mean consistent conditions across all 110 pistes. Stop at any number of mountain bistros for lunch—try the croziflette, a local pasta-and-cheese specialty that fuels serious skiers. Spend your afternoon exploring interconnected runs, using the Three Valleys lift pass to ski neighboring sectors or staying in Courchevel's perfectly maintained terrain. Advanced skiers shouldn't miss the Jean Blanc black run or the off-piste couloirs accessible from Saulire. Finish with a few laps on your favorite run of the day, then après-ski at a terrace bar with drinks and mountain views.
