ABOUT COURCHEVEL

Despite being world-famous, the real Courchevel is a hidden gem in the French Alps. Many real skiers overlook the resort due to its 5* reputation and expensive mountain restaurants.

However, if you look beyond the fancy restaurants and cocktail bars, you’ll find a great seasonnaire community that loves to get fresh tracks, push boundaries and ski hard. With over 200 lifts the skiing is, quite possibly, the best in the world. The perfectly groomed blues and reds are the perfect place to crank it over and rip some high-speed carved turns and the steeper blacks offer a challenge for even the most experienced skiers.

We love Courchevel for it’s snow record which is helped by its mainly north-facing slopes. As you progress through your course as an internationally recognised ski instructor qualified through BASI, you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve improved in just 10 weeks.
