Courchevel: The Concierge Edit
Where to ski, eat, unwind and celebrate in Courchevel
There is no shortage of guides to Courchevel. Harder to find is one shaped by our concierge and in-resort teams. They are on the mountain before most guests have opened their curtains. They know which terraces catch the afternoon sun and return to the same handful of addresses year after year because they never disappoint. This is our version.
Where to ski in Courchevel
Courchevel’s ski area stretches across six villages: Courchevel 1850, Courchevel Moriond, Courchevel Village, Courchevel Le Praz, La Tania and Saint-Bon. Moriond, known as Courchevel 1650, is where the team sends guests in search of space and quieter pistes. The runs are broad and well pitched, making the area a natural choice for confident intermediates. Moreover, it remains relatively calm even at the height of the season. You can view more details here.
Where to eat lunch in Courchevel
Bagatelle Courchevel, sits at the top of the Chenus gondola at 2,250m, above Courchevel 1850, and is accessible to skiers and pedestrians. Part of the international Bagatelle group, it is open for lunch from 12pm to 4.15pm, with a 500m² panoramic terrace overlooking Mont Blanc. The energy builds throughout the afternoon. Eventually, lunch gives way to live music and a full-blown party before the lifts close.

La Cave des Creux, set at 2,112m above Courchevel 1850, occupies a former sheepfold and Alpine cheese cellar. Brothers Florian and Boris Glise, both local ski instructors, have transformed it into one of the resort’s warmest addresses. The south-facing terrace catches the sun for most of the day, with views stretching to Mont Blanc. Meanwhile, a fireplace makes the dining room particularly inviting on colder days. Live music accompanies lunch, while the menu includes a leg of lamb slow-cooked over a wood fire for five hours, a Beaufort cheese tart and a dessert buffet, made entirely in-house, that has become something of a signature.
La Soucoupe, at the top of the Loze slope, has been part of Courchevel for over fifty years and remains in the hands of Pierre, a former butcher, and his wife Anne-Laure. The meat, grilled over an open flame, is the reason regulars return year after year. Accessible only on skis, it remains one of the resort’s longstanding lunch addresses.
Le Chalet de Pierres, set directly on the Verdons piste, can be reached on skis or by road. Its sunny terrace and relaxed setting make it particularly well suited to families and groups. The menu ranges from Beaufort tart, fondue and truffled pizzas to a seafood buffet of oysters, langoustines and king crab, followed by its signature dessert buffet.
Where to eat dinner in Courchevel
La Ferme Saint-Amour offers one of Courchevel’s more theatrical evenings. Chef Éric Frechon, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, leads a menu featuring Wagyu beef, fresh oysters and a selection of caviar, served in a dining room of sheepskin, candlelight and chandeliers. Later in the evening, a DJ and live vocalists transform dinner into more of a celebration.
La Saulire has been a Courchevel address for more than thirty years. The menu brings together generous Italian cooking, truffle-led dishes and traditional French favourites, served in a warm, intimate dining room in the centre of Courchevel 1850.
L’Altitude, inside Le K2 Altitude, holds one Michelin star under chefs Guillaume Duchemin and Davide Sessa. The cooking offers a precise and balanced interpretation of French tradition, making it ideal when dinner is the focus of the evening. It is open for dinner from Sunday to Friday and closed on Saturdays.
Some of the best meals are the ones you do not need to leave the chalet for. Our chefs create menus around the group, the season and the highest-quality ingredients available, bringing restaurant-level dining into the privacy of your own alpine home. No reservation, no transfer home, just the table, the fire and the evening ahead.
The best spas and wellness experiences in Courchevel
Le Chabichou’s spa spans 1,000m², making it one of the largest in Courchevel 1850. Set within the five-star hotel and open to non-resident guests by appointment, it features a heated indoor pool, hammam, sauna, ice fountain and sensory and hydrodynamic pools, alongside a full menu of massages and beauty treatments.
Where to shop in Courchevel
Courchevel 1850 is the resort’s main shopping destination. Its concentration of luxury boutiques is unusual for a mountain resort, making browsing an easy way to spend an hour or two between the slopes and dinner.
Family activities in Courchevel
The Moriond Racing luge in Courchevel 1650 is a 3km, Formula One-themed toboggan track descending from the top of the Ariondaz gondola. The course includes hairpin bends, eight tunnels, a 450m vertical drop and sections that split for family races to the bottom. It typically runs from mid-January into April, with evening sessions under floodlights on selected nights. It is an experience guests often ask to repeat.
Unique experiences in Courchevel
Padel at altitude is available on Courchevel 1850’s two Lacoste courts, which opened in December 2025 at the foot of the Émile Allais slalom stadium, facing the INEOS Club House. Geothermal heating keeps the courts playable throughout the winter, making it possible to follow a morning on the slopes with a match. They are open daily from 9am to 9pm, with evening sessions under floodlights, and can be booked through the Courchevel Sports Club.
Dog sledding takes guests through the forest to the Praméruel plateau, with a professional musher guiding the route. Most rides last 25 to 30 minutes and are suitable for families with children from around two years old. It offers a quieter way to see the mountain from ground level.
Horse-drawn carriage rides are available during winter from Place du Tremplin in Courchevel 1850, offering a gentle way to explore the resort at a slower pace. Rides typically last from ten minutes to an hour and can be arranged through our concierge team.
