Vicki - Ski Expert"Courchevel 1650 is one of our favourite villages in the Three Valleys. Quieter, cheaper, and particularly great for kids with the Indian piste to play at (tepees, learn traditions of American Indians) and restaurants such as Le Bel Air to chill at for the parents!"Courchevel 1650
