• Choose from 275 pistes. Beginners generally learn at Courchevel 1850 with its extensive nursery slopes. Intermediates and advanced skiers can't fail to enjoy themselves immensely, either – if the groomed pistes don't excite, book a guided off-piste tour. Snowboarders and cross-country skiers are well catered for too, and there are enchanting torchlit descents to take part in.

• Don't miss the fantastic 3,000m toboggan run from the top of the Moriond bubble lift to the village, floodlit by night.

• Enjoy a whole array of other activities including snowcat-driving, skating on an Olympic rink, snowmobiling, sledging, 'fat-biking' (snow mountain-biking), paragliding, Segway, ski joering, snowshoeing and hot-air ballooning.

• Indoors, take your pick from bowling, French lessons and more.

When to go to Courchevel

The ski season in Courchevel runs from mid-December to mid-April. Because of its altitude, the Three Valleys ski region offers good snow cover into spring.

In summer the best weather lasts from May to September, with activities and events at their peak in the main school holidays, July and August. Do bear in mind however that August is busiest and hence most expensive, as many French people come to Courchevel as an alternative to the coast.
