Courchevel 1300 | Courchevel 1550 | Courchevel 1850
Courchevel 1650 is very much a resort in its own right rather than a satellite development and offers a separate ski area which tends to much quieter than the higher slopes.. There's a busy centre with shops, some excellent restaurants (notably Le Petit Savoyard, L'Eterlou and Montagne) and some great bars – all friendlier and much more affordable than places in Courchevel 1850.
The village has spruced itself up recently, adding stone and wood cladding to the low-rise buildings in its centre, and creating walkways for pedestrians to shield them from the traffic winding up to 1850. A new covered escalator will link the chalets in the lower tier of the village to the main street and lift station, and next summer a new lift will be built from the village to the Signal lift on the slopes.
There are 3 lifts leading up from courchevel 1650, providing convenient access to the challenging terrain, including the Ugly Sisters Couloirs, the off-piste, and of course, the other resorts of The Three Valleys. Courchevel 1650 is home to one of the resorts’ ESF ski schools, and has its’ own free lifts and beginner slopes, and also offers night-skiing on the floodlit slope above the village every day until 7pm - free with a valid lift pass.
