Courchevel Village 1550 Chalets

The ski season in Courchevel 1550 typically runs from early December to late April, depending on snow conditions. Thanks to the village’s connection to Courchevel 1850 and the Les 3 Vallees (the largest interconnected ski area in the world) snow skiers staying in Courchevel Village 1550 can enjoy excellent snow coverage and endless days skiing and snowboarding on well-maintained pistes throughout the season.

Absolutely! Courchevel Village 1550 is a fantastic choice for families. It offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere than its glitzy neighbor Courchevel 1850, with easy slope access, gentle ski runs, and excellent ski schools nearby. The village also has family-focused amenities, cozy restaurants and our more affordable yet luxury-feeling chalets and self-catering rentals perfect for groups with children - all within a welcoming, alpine village setting.
