Celebrating 80 Years of Alpine Excellence: Discover Courchevel 1650 with Le Ski

This year, the majestic resort of Courchevel celebrates its 80th anniversary, marking eight decades since its pioneering spirit first carved a path through the Three Valleys. 

Our friends at Le Ski, a company dedicated to providing unforgettable catered chalet experiences, have been a proud part of this incredible journey. For over 40 years, they’ve watched Courchevel evolve, always maintaining its unique charm and world-class skiing, and they’re thrilled to invite you to experience its magic, particularly in the vibrant and welcoming sector of Courchevel 1650 (also known as Moriond).

Courchevel isn’t just a ski resort; it’s a legend. Part of the vast Three Valleys, the largest interconnected ski area in the world, it offers an unparalleled playground for skiers and snowboarders of all abilities. However, what truly makes Courchevel special, beyond its meticulously groomed pistes and state-of-the-art lift system, is its distinct villages, each with its own unique character.

Courchevel 1650 holds a special place in our hearts. While its higher neighbours might boast a more opulent reputation, 1650 offers a more authentic, friendly, and often sunnier atmosphere. It’s renowned for its fantastic intermediate skiing, with a superb selection of blue and red runs that wind through picturesque forests, frequently bathed in glorious sunshine. This makes it an ideal choice for families and groups who want to enjoy varied terrain without feeling overwhelmed. The village itself has a charming, traditional feel, with a great selection of lively bars, excellent restaurants, and a more relaxed ambience compared to Courchevel 1850. You’ll find it incredibly easy to navigate, with shops, ski hire, and the main bubble lift all conveniently located.

At Le Ski, they understand that a truly exceptional ski holiday is about more than just the skiing. It’s about the comfort, the convenience, and the culinary delights that await you after a day on the slopes. This is where our catered chalet service truly shines. They pride themselves on the personal touches and attention to detail that keep their guests coming back year after year. From their flights and transfers to the warm welcomes from their dedicated chalet hosts, they ensure your trip flows seamlessly from start to finish.
