About the Resort
Courchevel Moriond, formerly known as Courchevel 1650, is widely considered the sunniest and most laid-back of the Courchevel villages. Situated on a recessed balcony, it benefits from excellent afternoon sun and features predominantly rolling, wide pistes perfectly suited for families and intermediate skiers. Unlike its ultra-luxurious neighbor, Courchevel 1850, Moriond offers a vibrant, welcoming, and slightly more affordable atmosphere.
The Resort
The resort center boasts a fantastic mix of traditional chalets, modern hotels, and lively après-ski venues lining its main street. Many of the accommodations are ski-in/ski-out or just a short walk from the central Ariondaz gondola. Moriond manages to retain a traditional alpine charm while providing all the modern amenities expected of a world-class resort.
Skiing in Moriond is a joy, with its local slopes often noticeably quieter than the rest of the valley. When you are ready to venture further, the village provides immediate, seamless access to the 600km of groomed terrain in the Three Valleys, ensuring limitless exploration for all ability levels.
