Hotels near Courchevel Airport - CVF, Courchevel

The Chabichou Hotel was in an excellent location with ski in ski out. Really good on site ski hire shop. Great breakfast with so much choice and and a very impresive Spa. Courchevel 1850 is one of the best ski resorts with plenty of ski lifts, pistes and restaurants.

A great resort on the doorstep of Courcheval but without the price tag. There's a few bars and restaurants, not loads, but enough. If you want shopping then you need to hop on the bus and go to Courcheval but if you're there for the skiing then you can't go wrong.

We went for the skiing, have been many times before and would wholeheartedly recommend Courchevel and especially Le Praz. The village has everything you need - restaurants/bars, 8-a-huit supermarket, shops and the most amazing bakery (Pain D'Antan's chocolate eclairs are almost worth the trip alone!). It's perfectly set up for skiing - close enough to walk to the bubble station from pretty much anywhere in the village (we got a locker so we didn't have to carry heavy kit). And (not sure if this is a plus or minus) everyone speaks impeccable English. I was trying to practise my French but as soon as I opened my mouth people in the shops and cafes would reply in English! Nestled in the Alps, the views are utterly spectacular - I spent a good proportion of the trip saying, "Would you look at that?!" because everywhere you turn you behold the most amazing natural beauty. Can't wait to go back again!

La Tania is relatively a small resort with easy access to The Three Valleys ski area (650 km, the advts state) Not as many restaurants for eating out as other resorts, but my diet is somewhat limited. Burgers and Pizzas are not for me. Generally a pleasant family atmosphere. A very good local supermarket. Ski hire shops gave good friendly service. Yes, I would definitely consider going again.

Le Praz (Courchevel 1300) is a lovely Savoie village with great charm. Although it has grown substantially over the years, it still retains its essential character. The new Alpinium centre, by the pretty lake, is impressive with the fast lift to 1850 and information and ski pass office. There is a chair-lift to the Bouc-blanc area above La Tania, the restaurant at the top makes an excellent stop for breakfast. There is a free bus service during the ski season that links La Tania with Le Praz & the other Courchevel resorts, it also descends to St Bon & Bozel. Eating in Le Praz presents many options, from the amazing, Michellin-starred Azimut, and the Bistro du Praz offering sophisticated food. A special mention to La Petite Bergerie, which provides traditional Savoyard fare as well as some truly delicious meat courses cooked in front of the open fire. There is also a burger bar, the Elephant bar which serves good pizzas, and the hotel Peupliers and a new related start-up - l'etable de lys. Le Praz has a couple of sports shops (Olympic Sports having looked after my needs for decades), a well-stocked supermarket, tabac, laundry, Fromagerie, bakery and butchers.

Courchevel impresses with its exceptional skiing, diverse gourmet dining to world-leading levels, and enjoyable nightlife/apres-ski, perfectly blending outdoor adventure with culinary and leisure pleasures. It is of course at the more expensive end (and the sky's the limit on what you can spend on hotels/food/shopping). Getting around in Courchevel is easy with free buses, affordable parking, and lift connections even at night (1550 to 1850 gondola).
