10 Essential Tips for Your Courchevel Trip

Prepare Your Courchevel Stay

Courchevel is one of the most prestigious ski resorts in the world. To fully enjoy your stay, here are our expert tips.

1. Choose the Right Time

Peak season (December-March): Guaranteed snow, festive atmosphere, but high prices.

Mid-season (January, March): Excellent compromise between snow conditions and crowds.

Transfert Prime tip: Book your transfer as soon as you have your flight dates to guarantee availability.

2. Pack Smart

Essentials:

• Layered ski clothing (thermal underwear, fleece, jacket)
• Category 4 sunglasses

• Protective lip balm

Avoid:

• Too much luggage (our Mercedes V-Class can accommodate up to 7 suitcases)
