Courchevel 1850 Ski School

Feefo logo

Courchevel 1850 is famous for being one of the best ski resorts in the world. We agree. The slopes here are amazing. There is a variety of terrain second to none. The lifts are excellent (most chairlifts are high speed quads), and the grooming of the slopes outstanding. For beginners 1850 is a mecca.

We do not have a ski school shop in Courchevel 1850 as our client base is so spread out. Our meeting point, at the top the Courchevel 1550 chair (Tovets), means we are ideally located for people coming up from Le Praz, Courchevel 1650 (we are opposite the bus stop) and of course, Courchevel 1550.

We strongly recommend you book ski lessons before coming to resort as we are a small ski school and run small groups. If do have any questions, or only decide you would like lessons when in-resort, please pop in and we will be pleased to help.

3 Valley's Tour (3 Jan 2010)

We decided to get out of the office yesterday and video the snow conditions across the 3 Valleys. We started in Courchevel and made our way across to Meribel and St. Martin. After a much required hot chocolate we made our way to Val Thorens. It was -20 in Val Thorens so a hearty lunch at Les 2 Lacs (our favourite restaurant) fuelled us up for our trip home. An excellent day out! Enjoy the video of our 3 Valleys trip.
