Le Praz - Courchevel 1300

Le Praz, one of the most picturesque and pleasant resorts in the Courchevel Valley was the setting for both Olympic cross country and ski jumping events. It is the village most traditionally Savoyard in architecture and ambience - and lowest prices

With its narrow streets, quaint centre and old world charm it's an age away from the concrete apartment complexes often associated with French ski resorts.

The real advantage of both Le Praz and our other chalet base in nearby La Tania is that you can ski back to the villages throughout the season because the runs are fully serviced with snow cannons. Additionally Courchevel 1850 is less than 10 minutes away via a choice of two gondolas. The Meribel valley is easily accessed from either Le Praz or La Tania and both villages boast numerous welcoming bars and restaurants where the locals provide warm hospitality.

At the end of the day many of our guests stop at the Peupliers Hotel (left), at the bottom of the run home where Norbet and Nadine offer the perfect environment in which to relax, either in Norbie's lounge in the winter or at tables outside in the early spring sunshine.

Alternatively, why not visit Darbielos where you can find not only excellent fare washed down by the local brew, Mutzig Old Lager, but also regular live music on Sunday evenings. Somewhat livelier apres ski activities can be found every day in the Le Praz Escorhevel sports bar & pizzeria, with live bands every Tuesday and Friday.
