90 miles from Geneva,
Courchevel 1850 offers an unsurpassed combination of superb slopes,
luxurious hotels with ski-in ski-out convenience, superior restaurants, and
high fashion at high altitude. In this respect Courchevel 1850 is the
ultimate resort and it would be hard to find a better place.
Immaculately groomed pistes provide a
huge variety of runs: gentle greens,seemingly endless blues and reds,
severely narrow couloirs below La Saulire and long, knee-buckling black
mogul slopes. Many of the lower slopes are treelined, and the high altitude,
an abundance of snow-making machines and mainly north and north-east facing
slopes ensure reliably good snow.
Nightlife is
sophisticated rather than boisterous, with piano bars, jazz clubs and smart
night clubs to the fore. The range of elegant shops and fashion boutiques is
highly eclectic and, with an ice rink, squash courts and the opportunity to
make use of the swimming pools and health and beauty centres in several
hotels, Courchevel 1850 is the best purpose-built resort for skiers of
different standards and non-skiers.
