COURCHEVEL 1650 SKI HOLIDAYS

Courchevel 1650 is one stage down the mountain road out of Courchevel 1850 and represents a better value option from which to explore the superb Courchevel ski region. Courchevel 1650 is located on the furthermost edge of The 3 Valleys ski area, at the opposite end to Val Thorens. It is therefore further to get all the more distant reaches of The 3 Valleys but also has minimal through skiers that are common in other resorts. The resort of Courchevel 1650 is attractive enough with most accommodation strung out along the road although there are slope-side chalets, just not as exclusive and expensive as those in Courchevel 1850. The skiing is somewhat unusual in that tree cover is found higher up with little around resort level.
