Amazing Ski trip – Courchevel 1650, French Alps Where? Courchevel, The Three Valleys, French Alps When? We went on 18th February half term 2023 for 1 week Where did we stay?: My parents booked a friends chalet (private hire), to celebrate a BIG birthday! So, we skied every day, our boys went into an English Ski school called New Generation. These guys are excellent at what they do. Our boys developed their skiing technique beyond our wildest dreams, very proud of them! Activities in Couchevel: If poor weather conditions are looming i.e. white out, storm etc is prevailing, there’s an abundance of activities for kids & adults too! Here’s a few examples, of which we’ve tried tobogganing & horse/carriage ride….so cute for the kids! • Aquamotion- a huge idoor pool, spa, hammam • Tobogganing: based in 1650, brilliant & tiring fun! • Indoor bowling at Courchevel 1850, short free bus ride to next resort up, takes about 15 mins • Horse & carriage rides at Courchevel 1850, cost 90 euro’s for 30 mins Eating out: It’s expensive to eat out here, go prepared. A large pint of Mutzig (very strong lager) is approx. 11 Euro’s. We ate out as a family at The beautiful restaurant ‘Le Petit Savoyarde’. Here we indulged in local cuisine….Fondue, steak etc…utterly delicious and very modern décor inside. Cost of meal was approx. £350.00 for 6, but we did go all out with courses, wine & Genepie ( a local spirit, not for the fait hearted!) We also went into the local gift shops & bought some souvenirs for the boys as a treat for doing so well at ski school….. these presents included Courchevel branded hoodies & a snow globe! We will definitely go back again….& again…..& again!
