Courchevel: Which Village Should You Choose for Your Ski Holiday?
If the Alps is a world-class location to ski, Courchevel is its prince. Great slopes mean high prices but each village offers something different.
(firmenpresse) - Courchevel is a gift for snow sports enthusiasts. The series of villages that make up the resort are centred on a few divine north-facing bowls in prime position in the Three Valleys ski area, covered with the best snow imaginable, buttressed by less acute slopes further down and lush forests at the bottom.

Courchevel (formerly known as 1850)
The villages have recently, and confusingly, been renamed. Courchevel 1850 was so christened because of its altitude, but is now plain most luxurious high-end chalets can be found here.
1850 is closest to the good intermediate slopes and boasts a high-quality champagne nightlife, with great facilities for families too. There is value to be had in 1850 but it does require research and self-catering.
Moriond (1650)
Moriond is further out from the main slopes, but the runs are much quieter because of that. The accommodation on offer is cheaper than youimportant then that will not be an issue.
Courchevel Village (1550)
Closer than Moriond to the primary skiing pistes, Courchevel Village is less expensive than the two higher up the mountain. But that is changing! Thanks to fancy incoming redevelopment projects, those low prices won
Le Praz (1300)
The lowest village on the mountain, at the bottom of the lift system, has traditionally been the most economical area of the resort. The altitude means snow cover can be patchy, even during the high season, and the ride to the top is quite long, but luckily prices reflect this.
Le Praz is less fashionable but more charming with cobbled streets and plenty of affordable accommodation options. Away from the ostentation of 1850 and Moriond 1650, the unobtrusive, gentle atmosphere here can be a winner for some people.
