Courchevel Ski Resort
There are five main resort bases, including the slightly separate La Tania, of which Courchevel 1850 is the Big Daddy, both in terms of altitude and star quality. It is also by far the most expensive and the lower, more family-friendly resorts of 1650, 1550 and the old mountain village of Le Praz are much more affordable. The resort architecture lacks a little charm but the wooded runs that run through the resorts make up for it. The skiing is the most varied in the Three Valleys and skiers here are more prone to stay in their own valley, particularly as there are quite a few lifts involved if you want to get across as far as Val Thorens.
