Courchevel

Few resorts in the French Alps have a history as closely tied to post-war ski development as Courchevel. Spread above the Tarentaise Valley in Savoie, it forms part of Les Trois Vallées, an extensive interconnected ski domain beneath the Vanoise massif. Courchevel 1850 was created in 1946 as a purpose-built resort, with an early master plan by urbanist Laurent Chappis that distinguished it from older Alpine settlements. Lower down, Le Praz retains a more traditional village character, while lifts and pistes connect the resort with Méribel and Val Thorens.
