Nightlife

Courchevel’s parties are amongst the most famous in the world. Every year, stars come to Courchevel to discover its peace and its luxury.

Les Femmes en Or

The season traditionally opens with Les Femmes en Or, where influent women are awarded prizes for their contribution in various fields, such as communication, sport, art, research, entrepreneurship, etc…

Here is a link to the Femmes en Or website: http://www.femmesenor.fr/index.php 

Fireworks

Courchevel is also very famous for its fireworks. Every year in February, the international festival of pyrotechnic arts takes place in Courchevel. I am always amazed by the imagination and the creativity used by the firework artists.

Bars

Many bars have appeared in Courchevel in the last few years. The most famous would be:

the Purple Café, with great cocktails and a very trendy design;

-the Milk pub, very similar to the Purple Café, but with ski videos playing on screens;

-the Forum, with video games and a bowling in order to have fun;

-the Piggy’s, where you could drink some very refined whisky and listen to the piano. 

You can find all of them on: http://www.courchevel.com/index2.php?page=apres-ski-fiche&type=2052

 

 

Nightclubs 

Anybody who’s ever been to Courchevel will tell you how incredible the parties in La Grange or Les Caves are. You would go there with your friends, and come across very famous singers, actors, businessmen, football players from all over the world. This is what I like the most about Courchevel: you have this international melting-pot, yet you can still go with your friends and feel at home.
