This is what you've been waiting for back on the snow to make first tracks, play games, test skis and dance to live DJs and bands.

At the 1850 ski area, the fun runs all day from 08:30 a DJ set and complimentary breakfast to start the day off right. There's a HEAD ski test, games and activities by Courchevel Tourism (Wheel of Fortune, Laser Shooting, prizes to win). Then from around 15:00 enjoy complimentary aperitif tasting and a live concert to end the day.

What a way to start the season in Courchevel. You're welcome!
