Vallées de Courchevel and the luxury of Courchevel 1850

It is the third valley, divided into four parts, at different altitudes and all with access to the Courchevel ski area (150 km of slopes between 1.300 and 2,738 metres).Here, sport is a major player. It is no coincidence that it is the traditional venue of the Grand Prix ski jumping and various ski competitions. Between the valleys of Méribel and Courchevel is 'La Tania', the youngest village of Les 3 Vallées and where, at 1,400 metres, you can move without a car with shops and services within walking distance, although you remain connected to Méribel and Courchevel by several ski lifts. Here on the front-de-neige, in its Le Farçon, starred since 2006), also accessible on skis, chef Julien Machet proposes a cuisine that is very much linked to the Savoy territory, without neglecting influences and ingredients that come from the regions that formed the ancient territory of the Duchy of Savoy, from Piedmont to Liguria, and even Sardinia. La Tania is an ideal stage for many winter excursions: the numerous signposted trails can be explored on foot, with snowshoes or snowshoes, such as those immersed in nature starting from the Pointe de la Masse at Les Menuires. Courchevel is spread over five altitudinal levels, but it is Courchevel 1850 (the name takes its cue from its altitude) that is the most exclusive heart of the town, where there are haute couture boutiques, the most refined concept stores, art galleries and, of course, dream hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants, some of them true legends of hospitality. The Jardin Alpin district, suspended between snowy forests and crystal-clear skies, represents the pinnacle of mountain comfort. It overlooks the Croisette, the heart of the resort, which has fascinated travellers from all over the world since its inception.
