Courchevel
It can all be part of the holiday
Skiing, food, grand hotels, spas, shopping, après-ski and nightlife. A destination for those who want plenty of possibilities and the freedom to decide each day how to enjoy the Alps.
Three ways to experience the Alps
The Alps at your own pace
Not every trip to the Alps needs to be measured by the number of runs you’ve skied.
In this trip
The day might start with a few hours on the slopes, continue with a good mountain lunch and end at a spa.
Or perhaps you’d rather stroll through the village, discover a restaurant, meet friends for après-ski, go out at night or simply enjoy your hotel.
Here, skiing is part of the holiday. It doesn’t have to be the whole holiday.
Do you have to ski every day?
No.
You can ski a lot one day, a little the next and simply choose not to ski the day after.
This trip is for those who prefer to enjoy the Alps at their own pace, without feeling they have a schedule to follow.
What if not everyone in the group skis?
No problem. The trip can work for everyone.
Couples, families and groups of friends don’t always share the same ability or desire to ski.
While some are on the slopes, others can enjoy different experiences before everyone meets for lunch, après-ski or dinner.
You don’t have to do the same thing all day to travel together.
What is there in the Alps beyond skiing?
Plenty.
Food, wellbeing, villages, shopping, snow experiences, parties, après-ski and different ways to enjoy the mountains.
This is exactly where choosing a destination begins to go far beyond the slopes.
I want to ski, but not all day. Does that make sense?
Absolutely.
You can choose a destination and location that let you combine a few hours of skiing with the rest of your plans.
The holiday doesn’t need to revolve around how many hours you spend on the pistes.
What about people who love good food?
Food can be one of the great experiences of a trip to the Alps.
Mountain restaurants, good lunches and village dinners can be planned alongside the rest of the holiday, rather than only chosen once you arrive.
What about après-ski and nightlife?
They belong in the picture too.
Some people want a quiet end to the day, while others see après-ski and nightlife as an essential part of the trip.
Knowing this in advance helps you choose both the resort and where to stay within it.
Hotel, chalet or apartment?
Here, accommodation becomes more than somewhere to sleep.
If you plan to spend more time off the slopes, hospitality, spas, shared spaces, services, privacy and location become even more important.
Your accommodation becomes part of the experience.
Which resort suits this kind of holiday?
For people who want to experience the Alps beyond skiing, we look at more than the slopes.
The village, food, hotels, après-ski, wellbeing, shopping and available experiences all help shape the choice.
