Courchevel is one of the most famous ski resorts in the world. With its 6 villages, the resort of Courchevel is located in the heart of the 3 valleys ski area, which makes it a great destination for a ski vacation. Those who are passionate about snow sports meet every year to take on the challenge of the snowy slopes of this famous resort.
In this post, I will show you the most beautiful places to visit.
Courchevel is part of the 3 Valleys area, the largest ski area in the world. With 600 km of groomed slopes, 186 ski lifts and 327 runs, the 3 Valleys area is a must for ski enthusiasts, both amateurs and experts. I think that Courchevel’s slopes are incredible: everything has been thought out for skiers of all levels, with green slopes perfectly adapted for beginners, fun and protected areas for families, blue, red and black slopes for experienced skiers… all in a grandiose setting!
Snowmobile rides, dog sledding, ice climbing, snow groomer driving, ice diving, Fat Bike rides, Fastcoot… Beyond the simple practice of skiing, Courchevel offers a multitude of activities, each more unusual than the last.
Summer or winter, the Rosière lake is a must during a stay in Courchevel. Hidden in the heart of a huge snowy forest, I was totally amazed when I discovered this frozen lake, surrounded by mountains and isolated from the rest of the resort. From the village of Courchevel Moriond, I had reached the Rosière lake by following the pedestrian path. The fir trees covered with snow, the view on the mountains, the sound of my steps in the still fresh snow… For several minutes, the path goes into the forest in an absolutely magical scenery and atmosphere! Once I arrived, I discovered an incredible landscape. The lake is frozen, the colors are exceptional.
If there’s one place to go to add a little fun to your ski day, it’s La Folie Douce! Since 1980, the Folie Douce guarantees unique moments, all at altitude.
In the open air, this restaurant offers shows and cabarets while skiers enjoy a delicious meal in a relaxed clubbing atmosphere. Originality is the key word of this unique place which shows both freedom and authenticity. . The atmosphere is always there, and it’s sometimes hard to leave the place to go back to the slopes. I recommend you to live this unique experience with friends or family.
