Courchevel: Elegance and Performance

Excellence and great skiing in Courchevel. Discover 1850, 1650, and 1550 with an expert private guide.

A Private Alternative to the Ski School Queue

Most visitors staying in Courchevel book through the resort's group ski school, which means fixed schedules and a different instructor every day. Working with me instead, you get one English-speaking guide for the whole stay, a meeting time built around your chalet's breakfast rather than a 9am roll call, and a route chosen the night before once we've checked the overnight snow report together.

I regularly take international guests staying between 1850, 1650 (Moriond) and 1550 (Village) to Combe Saulire and the quieter Moriond runs — sectors that rarely feature in a standard group lesson because they take longer to reach.

What to Expect From the Day

I meet international clients directly at their chalet or hotel reception, so there's no need to find the ski school desk on your first morning. From there we build the itinerary around your level and the current conditions, steering clear of the midday bottlenecks around the main lifts, and finish with a run over the Vanoise massif viewpoints that most first-time visitors never get shown.

Extending the Day: Méribel and Val Thorens

Because Courchevel sits at the western edge of the 3 Valleys, a private day here isn't limited to one resort. If conditions or your interests point elsewhere, we can ski across to Méribel by late morning or push all the way to Val Thorens — I handle the route planning and timing so you're never stuck waiting for a lift you didn't need to take.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the meeting point in Courchevel?
The meeting point is usually at the entrance of the chosen resort (Courchevel 1850, 1650 or 1550) or directly at the foot of your chalet. We define together the most practical point for you.
What is the difference between the different levels of Courchevel?
Courchevel is made up of several villages at different altitudes. 1850 is the luxurious and sporting heart, 1650 (Moriond) is very sunny, and 1550 (Village) offers a calmer and more authentic atmosphere. All are connected by ski.
Can we go to Meribel from Courchevel?
Of course. From Courchevel 1850, just take the Vizelle or Saulire gondola to switch to the Meribel valley in a few minutes.
Is Courchevel suitable for expert skiers?
Absolutely. Courchevel offers challenging black runs like the Saulire couloir and remarkable off-piste itineraries. I know these technical sectors perfectly and can guide you to push your limits in complete safety.
