Travel to resort options

An increasing number of guests choose to drive to the Alps - (Courchevel & La Tania location map) - and with the wide range of cross channel travel options it couldn't be easier. From Calais to Courchevel takes about ten hours with frequent and generous breaks en route. Parking in resort is generally good. You can park outside your chalet or in the driveway. If travelling early season it is advisable to bring snow chains however the roads are generally kept free of snow.
