Courchevel is a series of hillside villages created in modern French style. Saint-Bon and Le Praz are charming ancient savoyard villages from the 16th century. Le Praz (Courchevel 1300) is lift-serviced for convenience. At 1550 and 1650 are two lovely, sunny, family oriented resorts with direct access to all the slopes of the 3 valleys. Courchevel 1850 is haut cuisine and all night partying if you please. They even created "Villages des Enfants", a protected ski area, where everything is geared for children's safety and fun! Since Courchevel was one of the hosts of the 1992 Winter Games it benefited from accelerated construction projects for new lifts, snowmaking, grooming facilities, hotels and restaurants. The lift system includes the world's largest cable car and connects to the Trois Vallees areas.
