Courchevel 1850 is the crown jewel of the Courchevel resort complex, sitting at an altitude of 1,850 meters. It is synonymous with alpine luxury, attracting a wealthy international clientele. The village is a purpose-built ski resort with a compact center of high-end hotels (including several palace hotels like Les Airelles and Cheval Blanc), Michelin-starred restaurants, and flagship stores of brands like Louis Vuitton and Dior. Despite its glitz, the village retains a traditional Savoyard architectural style with wood and stone chalets. Skiers appreciate the direct access to the Three Valleys ski area, with slopes suitable for all levels. In summer, the village transforms into a base for hiking, mountain biking, and golf. The atmosphere is exclusive yet welcoming, with a lively après-ski scene and evening entertainment.
