Ski Holidays in Courchevel 1850, France

Courchevel 1850 is the highest and the largest of the 5 villages that make up the resort of Courchevel, the others being Courchevel 1650, Courchevel 1550, Le Praz and La Tania.

Part of the Three Valleys ski area, Courchevel is considered as the most varied and extensive sector and for many there is enough skiing just in Courchevel to keep you entertained throughout a whole ski holiday. There is easy access to the rest of the Trois Vallees area from Courchevel 1850 with two gondolas linking from Courcehvel to Meribel and then from here you can reach the resorts of Val Thorens, St Martin de Belleville and Les Menuires.

Avg User Review Score: from 5 Courchevel 1850 reviews

Courchevel 1850 is the largest of the villages and as such is the focal point of the area. It is also the smartest and priciest of the villages, but it wins these accolades because it has the most to offer; more hotels, more restaurants, more bars, more nightclubs and more facilities and from a skiing point of view, the easiest access to the pistes.

Le Jump bar is always popular with a great atmosphere. Kaliko's is the main club which continues well into the wee hours, and will no doubt have a great band playing. Otherwise there are some lovely restaurants, best to book up early in the week, if you want to dine in 1850.

Courchevel 1850 is lively and has lots of character with plenty of apres-ski and non-skiing activities to enjoy. It has good access to lots of lifts and all of the 3 Valleys and slopes are never far off. I would recommend TJ's for cheap drinks in the evening and Bar le Jump which is right in the centre close to the lifts and is where all the people that work in the resort hang out. Also try out the Milk bar for a delicious milkshake. Almost all properties are ski in/ski out or very close to it.

Fantastic resort! A proper playground for ski/snowboard addicts with a vast variety of runs to explore. Recommend the 3 Valleys Pass that allows you to nip over into Meribel or Val Thorens, if you feel like going a bit further a field, not that Courchevel doesn't have enough runs to keep you entertained. Best value restaurant for lunch is the one right at the top of the Vizelle lift. Great spag bol and quite cheap! (More than can be said for anywhere else in Courchevel 1850). The Cap Horn is a lovely and very posh place to have lunch on the piste, with wonderful views.

Great snow (Dec 13th-16th). Views amazing. Stayed at Hotel Olympique, Staff REALLY friendly. Well worth staying in the hotel bar for drinks as ALOT cheaper than surrounding bars. Rooms basic but clean. Shop around different restaurants for meal prices-can vary alot. Definately visit again and stay at hotel Olympique.
