Location details for the resort and town of courchevel

Courchevel stands as the crown jewel of the French Alps, comprising five distinct villages nestled between 1,300 and 1,850 meters altitude in the heart of the Three Valleys ski domain. This world-renowned ski resort combines traditional Savoyard architecture with modern luxury, creating an atmosphere of refined alpine elegance. The resort’s history began in the 1940s as a planned ski holiday destination, evolving into today’s premier winter sports haven.

Each village maintains its unique character while sharing Courchevel’s reputation for exceptional snow conditions, world-class amenities, and unparalleled skiing. From the exclusive boutiques of Courchevel 1850 to the authentic charm of Le Praz, the resort offers experiences for every taste and budget. The area’s Olympic heritage, gained during the 1992 Winter Games, reinforces its status as a world-class destination.

Courchevel Moriond (also known as Courchevel 1650) provides a perfect balance of luxury and accessibility, while Courchevel 1550 offers excellent value for families. Courchevel Village (1300) maintains traditional Alpine charm, and Le Praz connects directly to the valley floor near Saint Bon.

Courchevel is located in the Tarentaise Valley of the French Alps, positioned at coordinates 45.4167°N, 6.6333°E. The resort sits within the Vanoise mountain range, surrounded by peaks reaching over 3,000 meters. Major nearby cities include Chambéry, Lyon (200km), and Geneva (150km), providing excellent accessibility from international airports.

The resort’s strategic location within the Three Valleys creates the world’s largest interconnected ski domain, with over 600 kilometers of marked pistes. This prime positioning offers direct access to neighboring ski resorts including Méribel, Val Thorens, and Les Menuires, expanding recreational opportunities exponentially.

Courchevel is accessible via the A430 motorway, connecting to major highway networks throughout France and neighboring countries. The nearest train station is Bourg-Saint-Maurice, located 55 kilometers away, offering connections to Paris, London, and other European cities. Public transport services connect the train station to Courchevel, though transfer services provide more convenient door to door service.
