Ski Holidays in Courchevel Le Praz

Tucked away in the vast Three Valleys ski area, Courchevel Le Praz is the perfect blend of a traditional Savoyard village and a modern ski resort. Quieter and more relaxed than its glitzy neighbour, Courchevel 1850, Le Praz’s calm and slower-paced atmosphere sets it apart from its noisy neighbours higher up the mountain.

Courchevel Le Praz is a brilliant choice for ski holiday makers looking for a serene ski escape with swift and convenient access to a large and premier ski area. The lowest of the Courchevel villages at 1300, Le Praz still offers easy access to the rest of the area. It is home to two key lifts; the Le Praz gondola and Forêt chairlift. Both lifts directly connect to Courchevel 1850, where the entire 600km of linked pistes - from cruisy blues and wide reds to more challenging routes across Courchevel, Méribel, and Val Thorens- are yours to explore. From beginners in search of easy cruising slopes to vets chasing challenging runs, the Three Valleys delivers for all ski ability levels. The reliable snow cover, thanks to the resort’s north-facing slopes and 1,850 snow cannons, ensures superb conditions from December to April. For snowboarders, the Courchevel snowpark offers jumps, rails, and half-pipes to keep the adrenaline flowing.

From cosy, self-catered apartments to luxurious chalet-styled apartments, there's something for most holiday makers.
