COURCHEVEL AND ME

Story of a life time 

Welcome to my blog, where I am going to tell you a love story. This story is about Courchevel and me. I have been skiing in Courchevel for more than 20 years, more than 50 days per year on average, and I am still amazed and thrilled every time I go there. I also love going there in the summer and spend hours hiking, playing tennis, or just sunbathing. If you want to ask me any information you would like to know on Courchevel, you can contact me at this address.

Overview of the station

Courchevel is THE most luxurious station in the French Alps, perhaps in the world. However, one must not forget that Courchevel is part of the Trois Vallées, the largest ski area in the world, with more than 600 km of ski runs. On this blog, I’ll try to explain how and why this love story works. Its goal is not to give an exact picture of Courchevel, but rather an overall view on the subjects that attach me the most to Courchevel.

Purpose 
 
Whether you are looking for the best spot after a snow fall, the hotel that would be the most adapted to your needs or the best place to have a glass of wine at night, I wish to share all my secrets with you.

I have always been attached to Courchevel, and I have created this website because I want to be its ambassador throughout the world, especially in China.

Thanks to my multicultural background, I am willing to help people from all over the world to discover this piece of heaven. I was born in Paris, but I have lived in China, in the United States and in Germany, before moving to Hong Kong as a trader at JP Morgan and then to Singapore where I pursued the INSEAD MBA. I speak French, English, Mandarin, German, Spanish and Italian.

If you want someone to go through to discover Courchevel or to put you in contact with the right people in Courchevel, do not hesitate to contact me at this address. As I used to work in Hong Kong for three years, I have many connections there and in mainland China, and I am more than inclined to meet people from China and discuss with them about Courchevel.

As an alumnus from the Ecole Polytechnique in France and the MIT in the United States, I wish to develop connections between other alumni and Courchevel, in order to develop always more the station. My technical formation and my background in finance have developed my ability to deal with large projects, which makes me more than willing to meet people who have high expectations for Courchevel.

As competitors do, I am confident that I will be able to capitalize on my experience in all these domains in order to help Courchevel to develop itself and to attract many more people.
