On the slopes
As it's part of the massive ski area, ski holidays in Courchevel 1300 Le Praz offer an unlimited variety of skiing. From the village there's good access to Courchevel 1850 and the rest of the Three Valley ski area via a gondola that goes directly up into 1850. You can ski right into the village, but the low altitude means that snow conditions on these slopes are often poor. Snowboarders will find good options including a terrain park.
