Courchevel 1550 Village

Courchevel 1550 is a quiet village, offering cheaper accommodation and restaurants in comparison to the higher village of 1850 and is an ideal destination for family holidays. Although located lower down the mountain it is only a gondola ride away from the more glamorous Courchevel 1850 and from there access to the rest of the ski area is simple.

Skiers can access the upper slopes of the resort by taking the 6 person high-speed gondola up to the hub of the Courchevel 1850, La Croisette, or choose to take one of two other lifts leading up to the ridge separating the resort from Meribel.

All the villages in the Courchevel Valley are linked by a free shuttle bus and those staying in Courchevel Village, 1550 have the added bonus of the gondola up to 1850, which stays open until 7.30pm evening.
