COURCHEVEL 1850 - THE PIONEER

AN UNQUESTIONABLE REPUTATION

In 1946, the idea to build 6,000 tourist beds and some mechanical ski lifts at Les Tovets plateau was put forward. In 1947, the first hotels were built. The initial project included a cable car that was built 6 years later. Since then, the resort has become a powerful avant-garde destination comprising six individual villages, an international icon of French know-how, heaven-on-earth for fans of shopping and fashion, Michelin-starred cuisine and other festive pleasures, as well as for those looking to experience unforgettable days and memorable evenings.

ATMOSPHERE AND ARCHITECTURE

It is here in Courchevel 1850 that you’ll find most of the luxury hotels, high-end private chalets and Michelin-starred restaurants. Recent architectural styles have been added to the original charming buildings, making sure that wood and stone remain the key materials, therefore creating a rare harmony.

You can go on a hot-air balloon ride, get an introduction to survival techniques in the mountains and even fly drones. All these activities can be found on the website for Courchevel Aventure.
