COURCHEVEL 1550
Courchevel 1550 offers the best of both worlds, it's a charming resort at the foot of the pistes with a stunning view both up to the slopes and out across the valley. Courchevel Village (1550) is a quiet little village offering cheaper accommodation and restaurants when compared to the rest of the Courchevel area, making it an ideal ski resort for family ski holidays.
The resort has a couple of lively bars and restaurants from a pizzeria to gourmet cuisine.

It’s worth mentioning the floodlit toboggan run through the trees from 1850 to 1550 is fun for all ages! Prices are also a little less high altitude!
Off the slopes Courchevel Village is home of the impressive Aquamotion centre with its host of pools, saunas and wellness facilities.
