															Le Praz, officially known as Courchevel 1300, sits at an altitude of 1,300 meters in the heart of the French Alps. This authentic mountain in Europe offers a perfect blend of traditional Alpine charm and modern ski resort amenities. Unlike its higher-altitude neighbors such as Courcheval 1550 and Courchevel 1850, Le Praz maintains a genuine village atmosphere with its historic church, traditional chalets, and welcoming local community. The resort serves as an excellent base for exploring the vast Three Valleys ski resorts domain while providing a more intimate and affordable alternative to the larger resort centers.
Le Praz is located in the Tarentaise Valley in the Savoie department of the French Alps. Positioned near Mont Blanc, the village lies within the renowned Three Valleys ski area, the world’s largest connected ski domain. The resort is nestled between the Vanoise National Park and surrounded by peaks reaching over 3,000 meters. Major nearby cities include Chambery Challes (90 km), Lyon (180 km), and Geneva (140 km), making it easily accessible from various urban centers.
Le Praz is accessible via the A430 motorway, with the nearest major junction at Albertville. From there, the route follows the D915 through Moutiers and up the winding mountain roads to the resort. The closest train station is Bourg-Saint-Maurice, approximately 25 kilometers away, which connects to major French cities including Paris via TGV. However, the most convenient access remains by road, particularly for visitors carrying ski equipment and luggage.
