Activities

Winter

Although skiing and surfing are the most important activities in Courchevel, non-skiing people will also have too little time to enjoy everything that will be proposed to them in Courchevel.

People wanting to have an overview of the valley will enjoy a panorama going so far as the Mont Blanc, located at 100 kilometres, through a flight in a hot air balloon. People looking for indoor sports can go to the ice rink or to the fitness centre, or enjoy one of the swimming pools in the hotels. People wishing to explore new slopes can do some héliski in Italy, nearby Courchevel.
