Luxury Ski Holidays in Courchevel Le Praz
Located on a plateau at the bottom of wooded slopes, Courchevel Le Praz is the epitome of an authentic mountain village. The lowest of the four villages that make up Courchevel, Le Praz is by far the most attractive with winding cobbled streets and traditional luxury ski chalets.
While the village might not have the range of shops and restaurants found in Courchevel 1850, there are still plenty of good cafés and restaurants to choose from.
Although it’s smaller than the other Courchevel villages, luxury chalets in Courchevel Le Praz are on the rise, and with the new cable car to Courchevel 1850, this is only set to continue.
One of the highlights of Courchevel Le Praz has to be the famous ski jumps that were built for the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics, and international competitions continue to be held here. Non-skiers staying in Le Praz can also enjoy a variety of alternative winter activities throughout the villages of Courchevel including ice-skating and snowmobiling.

There's the Forêt chairlift which takes you to the top of the Bouc Blanc piste (a ski lift away from Meribel), whilst the newer Le Praz bubble lift delivers you to the centre of Courchevel 1850 in just six minutes.
If you are looking to ski back into Courchevel Le Praz at the end of the day then you can take the new Eclipse World Cup piste or the red Brigues/Amoureux pistes which bring you out by the Alpinium building. Beginners needn't worry though; the Le Praz bubble lift stays open until 11 pm so there's no risk of missing that last lift down. The resort also has a designated ZEN zone designed specifically for beginners to practice their technique.
