About Courchevel 1300
Courchevel 1300, widely known as Courchevel Le Praz, is the most traditional and authentic village within the famed Courchevel resort. Characterized by its narrow, winding streets, classic wooden chalets, and a stunning alpine lake, Le Praz offers a peaceful and picturesque alternative to the glitz and glamour of its higher-altitude neighbors. The village is also famously home to the Olympic ski jumping hills used in the 1992 Albertville Winter Games.
The Resort
Despite its tranquil atmosphere, Le Praz is a powerhouse when it comes to ski access. The modern Alpinium center features a high-speed gondola that whisks skiers directly to Courchevel 1850 in just under six minutes, as well as a fast chairlift connecting to the wider La Tania and Meribel sectors. At the end of the day, skiers can enjoy some of the best tree-lined runs in the Alps back down to the village.
Offering world-class skiing combined with top-tier gastronomy—including Michelin-starred dining—Le Praz appeals to families, couples, and dedicated skiers who appreciate traditional mountain culture without sacrificing access to the legendary 600km of pistes of the Les Trois Vallées.
