Courchevel comprises not just of one resort but is spread across four different altitudes; each offering its own atmosphere and feel culminating in Courchevel being able to offer something for everyone whether it is ice skating in 1850 or live music in La Tania.
Similarly the accommodation ranges from the less expensive, self catered apartments in 1550, chalet hotels in 1650 and luxury lodge style chalets in 1850. This again encompasses Courchevel's ability to offer accommodation for any group, whether you are a family, a student group looking for a cheap get away or looking for something very special.
1850 has established a name for itself over the last few years as being notoriously expensive and attracting a clientele of the rich and famous. To a certain extent this is true. Clustered around the Croisette and the piste in 1850 is an array of 4/5* hotels offering the up most in service and facilities where one can be looking to spend up to 500, per person per night during peak weeks. Similarly, in other areas of 1850, the privately owned chalet lodges which frame the Jardin Alpine run are indeed stunning. However, for the rest of us mere mortals, 1850 should not be a place to be avoided. It has a lively atmosphere with fantastic bars and is therefore not to be missed. Fortunately there are a number of self catered apartments which are near to the slopes which offer excellent accommodation at a reasonable price. The Chalets du Forum building lies 50m from the piste and were refurbished 3 years ago. They are extremely spacious and well equipped, not like other ski resorts where by a self catered apartment can sometime mean a shoe box for a week.
1650 further down the valley has undergone a serious make over in recent years. There has been a new escalator linking the lower levels of 1650 up to the ski lifts. This has enabled these new areas of 1650 to undergo significant development in terms of an increase in number of private to cope with demand for skiing in the 3 valleys. Some of these are of excellent quality, including facilities such as saunas, hot tubs and steam rooms but offered at a competitive price so that guests do not have to break the bank to ski in the 3 valleys. In 1650 you will also find a number of chalet style hotels located in the centre of the resort offering excellent location to their guests for skiing, being just a walk from the slopes in the morning.
All in all, Courchevel has some accommodation for everyone and a holiday in the Alps can be as expensive or as inexpensive as you like. Now guests have the choice of the holiday they want, as opposed to the holidays they can afford
