Welcome to Courchevel, the ultimate winter wonderland tucked away in the breathtaking French Alps and part of Les Trois Vallées, one of the largest ski areas in the world. Courchevel isn’t just any ski destination – it’s a playground where families can create memories that will last a lifetime. With plenty of gentle slopes and beginner-friendly areas perfect for skiers and snowboarders, here’s a curated guide on what not to miss:

• Aquamotion: Dive into fun and relaxation at Aquamotion, where the whole family can enjoy indoor and outdoor pools, water slides, and spa facilities. After a day on the slopes, unwind in the warm waters and let the kids splash and play freely.
• ESF Ski Schools: Introduce your little ones to the joys of skiing with ESF’s ski schools, where they can spend either the full day with their group (including a lunch break) or opt for a half-day session depending on their preference.
• Snow Parks: Courchevel has several dedicated snow parks where kids can let their imaginations run wild. From gentle slopes and magic carpets to playful obstacles and themed zones, these parks will keep the little ones entertained for hours.
• Courchevel Family Park: Located in the heart of the Courchevel ski area, the Family Park offers different paths for various ski levels. Don’t miss out on snow tubing onto the giant airbag at the FoolJump Park for an exhilarating experience!
• Pyrothecnic Art Festival: Held once a week during February to early March, this festival kicks off with live entertainment, DJ performances, and a torchlight procession, culminating in a breathtaking fireworks display. It’s an event not to be missed!
• Husky Sledding: An unforgettable adventure with a husky sledding experience. Be sure to book in advance, especially during high season, to secure your spot.
• Sledding: For a more laid-back way to enjoy the snow, grab a sled and head to one of Courchevel’s designated sledging areas. With gentle slopes and stunning scenery, it’s the perfect activity for families looking to enjoy the winter wonderland at their own pace.
