Courchevel is the largest of the resorts in the renowned 3 Vallées in the Savoie province of France. The Three Valleys comprise the world's largest ski domain, an area with 372 miles of trails and slopes that are interconnected with 198 lifts. America's six largest ski resorts would fit into the Three Valleys. Courchevel alone has 65 lifts and 102 runs, with a top vertical descent of more than 4,700 feet. Courchevel is built on four different levels, from 4,290 feet to 5,940. The highest cluster of buildings at Courchevel 1850 (metres) are, arguably, the most fashionable with luxury hotels and chalets and an energetic night life. Much of the accommodation allows skiers to step out of the door, after breakfast, and into their skis to embark on a journey to see how much vertical they can log or how far across the Three Valleys they can go. Sophisticated skiers will know in advance which mountain restaurant they will stop at for lunch (see also the listings for Meribel and Val Thorens.)

After a lacklustre start (little snow 1 run open) a heavy dump of snow soon rescued our weeks skiing in the second week of December (2004). Excellent time was had, apres ski took over for most of the week due to the early conditions! Although expensive (6 - 8 Euro's for a pint) the atmosphere created by the seasonaires in the bars and clubs was the best I have come across whilst skiing. Particular recommendations are Bar Le Jump that became our local, great staff who be warned will ensure you drink up on time when it closes as they like to party too!! Once closing time is reached a must every night is Kalico's night club, reps, bar staff, seasonaires all flock to this at about 1am to go crazy!! Beware the ski tourist who wants to ski early as you will get drawn into this mecca for partying until 4am if you arnt careful. My liver is still recovering and after dancing like a drunk monkey most nights more injuries were recieved from here than on the pistes (getting too old for break dancing!!)
Thanks to all the Reps (too many to mention!!)
