| WHY GO |
| Located in the westernmost fold of the Trois Vallées, the largest ski area in the world, Courchevel is made up of four separate settlements, each defined by its altitude in metres. Courchevel 1850, the largest of the four, is the glitziest of the French Alpine resorts offering exclusive hotels, stylish chalets and apartments, Michelin-starred restaurants and a buzzing nightlife. Once a predominantly French resort referred to as the 21st arrondissement of Paris, it is today a cosmopolitan destination attracting a jet-set crowd from as far afield as Russia and Argentina. The resort offers plenty of scope for skiers of all grades with miles of carefully maintained pistes, an abundance of off-piste and a number of challenging couloirs. |
