What's new this winter in Courchevel

New Chenus Gondola

The resort’s historic Chenus lift has been completely rebuilt after 55 years of service and will reopen this coming winter season. Constructed by POMA, the new gondola features 10-seater cabins, doubles the previous capacity to around 2,400 people per hour, and benefits from a more convenient base station positioned directly on the La Croisette snowfront. Costing approximately €20 million, the project also incorporates environmentally friendly improvements such as solar panels, rainwater recovery and lower energy consumption. With fewer pylons, a smoother alignment and upgraded facilities at the summit, the new lift offers quicker access to the Loze sector, shorter queues and a more comfortable, sustainable experience for skiers and pedestrians alike.

Chenus - new area

A new gondola lift means new facilities at the summit. Discover the brand new Chenus picnic room, a welcoming space that's ideal for taking a well-deserved break, warming up and enjoying the view.

Panoramic cabins

The iconic Saulire cable car has been reopened with new panoramic cabins with extensive glass for sweeping views.

The Lac Bleu tow rope

Good news for anyone who dislikes skating or pushing along flat sections! Remember that short stretch at the end of the blue run from the Col de la Loze, where you had to hold a “schuss” position or work hard with your poles to reach the next piste? From now on, the new Lac Bleu tow rope will pull you effortlessly across on your skis to the top of the Bouc Blanc lift station. Less effort, more enjoyment!

Canyon de Yepa

In Courchevel Moriond the Canyon de Yepa is the ultimate in fun themed slopes and designed for all ages. As you take the run down, you are immersed in the world of the Native Americans, with original decor. On the program is a fun new entrance - an imposing chieftan watches over the runway... and colourful banners that warn you about the wolves. (Don't panic, they are harmless – but captivating – sculptures!) Keep your eyes peeled at every bend: this trail is full of surprises and well worth exploring.

New location for Carabosse

Carabosse is a dedicated “ski and fun” zone created for you, your family and your friends, whatever your skiing ability. Enjoy carving through banked turns or gliding over grin-inducing whoops? Here, you can ski, play, progress – and above all, have fun! Once tucked away near the Granges button lift, Carabosse has now reached new heights and awaits you at the summit of Courchevel Moriond. Getting there couldn’t be easier – simply take the Signal chairlift.

New green trail: Pralinette

Now you’re wondering what happened to the former Carabosse area? Well, it's been transformed into a gentle green trail, renamed Pralinette. Designed for beginners and families, Pralinette offers ideal terrain for learning to ski with confidence. 

La Saulire

In collaboration with S3V partner Hublot, discover a new contemplation spot at the summit of La Saulire: a wooden terrace offering breathtaking views of the highest peaks of the Vanoise and Mont Blanc. To get there, take the Saulire cable car.

Courchevel 1850

Do you remember the open cabins in the children's area? Those little vintage cabins that took ESF children through the forest just below the Croisette… they will make way for three brand-new magic carpets. A gentle, more modern way to discover skiing: ideal for little ones, fun, safe, easy... a stress-free and less tiring way to learn to ski.

Western Ski Park

This season, the fun zone in Courchevel Moriond has been given a makeover with new equipment: a hammock for relaxing in peace, and a revamped design for our bison. An area designed for you to enjoy with your family and learn to ski at your own pace. 

A shining star

The restaurant Baumanière 1850, located in Courchevel 1850 in the Hotel Le Strato, has won its second Michelin star ahead of this season, further enhancing the resort’s high-end food credentials. 

Courchevel marks its 80th anniversary of the post-war resort creation during this winter season, and there will be special events throughout. Visit our events calendar for more information.

Snow Train

This direct Eurostar rail service between London and the Tarentaise Valley will be running again this winter from December to March. The service will hopefully encourage British skiers to travel in an eco-friendly way, departing from London on a Saturday morning and returning Sunday morning.  The closest station to Courchevel is Moutiers and there are shuttles linking the resort and bus station. Or you can get a transfer or taxi up to the resort. Watch out for package offers including rail travel.
