COURCHEVEL | 1300 - 2707 m                  Les Trois Vallées

If an award were given out for the "trendiest resort" in France, Courchevel would probably win. Royal families, film and music celebrities-can all be seen in Courchevel at one time or another. But there is more to this resort than glamour. First of all, its menu of activities is nothing less than astounding: karting, hot-air balloons, icefall climbing... everything planned to satisfy the most sophisticated of tastes. But best of all, Courchevel gives you access to a world-renowned ski domain-one certain to satisfy even the most demanding of skiers: 3 Valleys. However, be careful not to come back too tired out from your delightful day of skiing, because after dark, Courchevel transforms into a Queen of the Night, ready to party right up until dawn.
