Where you’ll meet your instructor
Group Lessons – The New Generation Courchevel 1850 Ski School meeting point is situated next to the top of the Tovets chair lift. It is below the Croisette building next to the stairs coming down from the road, just on the edge of the piste near Chez Gaston restaurant. If you’re on skis, just ski under the bridge near the bottom of the piste and we meet just after it on the right.

Courchevel FAQ’s
How can I get to resort?
Airport Transfers
If you’re arriving by air then you’ll probably fly into either Grenoble, Lyon or Geneva. The following transfer companies offer airport transfers, either private or sometimes shared:
Snowbound Transfers to Courchevel
There are buses from the airport but you will need to change at Moutiers and they’re not cheap so if there is a few of you it often cheaper to share a transfer.
The train is the cheapest option from the airports but again this will involve several changes and the trains are somewhat infrequent.
Drive
It’s about a 9hr drive once in France to reach Courchevel. The benefits of driving are no luggage restrictions and the option of an extra day skiing during a week’s holiday but the tolls can be quite pricey on the motorways so something to consider.
Train
The Eurostar offers overnight trains direct from London St Pancras to Moutiers (about 25mins from Courchevel, at the foot of the mountain). If you don’t mind overnight travel and can sleep on trains (or are willing to forego sleep) then this can be one of the cheapest and most convenient ways to reach the Alps. Plus, no extra charge for ski carriage. You just need to be able to carry all you can bring…..
