and Alpine Charm
Courchevel Moriond Introduction
Courchevel 1650, also known as Moriond, is the sunny, laid-back side of the Courchevel valley. Set above the main resort, it combines wide-open skiing, a lively village centre and a relaxed atmosphere that appeals to families, groups and skiers looking for a little less formality. With fast lift connections into the Three Valleys, it's an excellent base for exploring one of the world's largest linked ski areas.
About
Courchevel Moriond sits at around 1,650 metres, with accommodation spread across the village and surrounding slopes. Its layout offers convenient access to the ski area, with a mix of hotels, apartments and chalets suited to different budgets and styles of holiday.
The village centre has a welcoming, sociable feel, with restaurants, bars, cafés and ski shops lining its main streets. It's lively enough for an enjoyable après-ski, while retaining a more relaxed atmosphere than neighbouring Courchevel 1850.
Moriond is particularly popular with families and intermediate skiers, thanks to its accessible slopes and convenient lift links. A free shuttle connects the different Courchevel villages, making it easy to explore the wider valley without relying on a car.
The Ski Area
Courchevel Moriond offers some of the most enjoyable cruising in the Courchevel valley, with wide, sunny slopes and a good choice of green and blue runs. It's an excellent area for beginners building confidence and intermediate skiers looking to cover plenty of ground without constantly tackling challenging terrain.
The Ariondaz gondola provides quick access to higher slopes, opening up a wider choice of runs across the Courchevel ski area. Dedicated beginner zones around Moriond make it particularly appealing to families, while more experienced skiers can head towards steeper red runs and explore the varied terrain further up the mountain.
From Moriond, the lift network connects directly with Courchevel's other villages and the wider Three Valleys ski area, with Méribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens all within reach. Whether you're after relaxed laps in the sunshine or full days exploring the mountains, Courchevel 1650 makes a convenient base for a varied ski holiday.
