What's new this winter in Courchevel

On the slopes

A new panoramic terrace at Chenus

There's a new place to stop and take in the views this winter, with a 300m² wooden panoramic terrace planned at the top of Chenus in Courchevel 1850.

South-facing and accessible to both skiers and pedestrians, the terrace will offer a sunny spot to pause, enjoy the mountain scenery and look out towards La Saulire and the surrounding Alpine peaks. It's a welcome addition for anyone who likes to take their time on the mountain, rather than spending the whole day chasing the next lift.

A makeover for the La Tania gondola

Courchevel La Tania is also investing in its lift infrastructure, with a €5 million refurbishment of the resort's gondola.

The upgrade includes 52 new eight-seater panoramic cabins, replacing the existing cabins with a more comfortable ride and better views across the forest and mountains. The project also aims to improve accessibility and environmental performance, while retaining and reusing existing infrastructure wherever possible.

It's a practical improvement to one of La Tania's main links to the ski area, helping make getting onto the slopes a more comfortable part of the day.

Fera Lumia: a new tobogganing experience

The popular toboggan run linking Courchevel 1850 with Courchevel Village is getting a new immersive experience for winter 2026-2027.

Called Fera Lumia, the new concept will introduce light installations into the forest along the descent, adding an atmospheric twist to the twists and turns of the run. Designed to bring the mountain landscape to life, the lighting effects will create a more theatrical experience, whether you're looking for a family activity or simply fancy a change from skiing.

It's another reason to keep the toboggan run on your list, even if you've tried it before.

In Resort

A new wellness space at Maya Hotel

For winter 2026-2027, Maya Hotel is introducing Maya Well, a redesigned space dedicated to relaxation and wellbeing.

The new facilities will include a sauna, hammam and sensory shower, creating somewhere to recharge after a day on the slopes. It's a more intimate wellness offering that fits with the hotel's understated approach to luxury.

A new spa at La Sivolière

La Sivolière Hôtel & Résidence is also unveiling a new spa this winter, with mountain views and a strong focus on relaxation.

The highlight will be a 25-metre swimming pool, described as the longest in Courchevel, alongside a sauna, hammam, fitness room and treatment rooms. It's a substantial addition to the hotel's facilities and another option for anyone who likes to balance time on the mountain with a little indulgence.

Hotels

Courchevel's accommodation scene continues to evolve this winter, with several new properties adding to the resort's already impressive choice of places to stay.

New luxury residences in Moriond

Opening in December 2026, Sundance 5-star and Steamboat 5-star are two new residences from Alpine Resorts in Courchevel Moriond.

Sundance is designed with families and groups of friends in mind, offering apartments and penthouses sleeping between four and 12 people. There's also a wellness area with an indoor swimming pool, spa and treatment facilities, alongside an on-site ski shop and the Italian restaurant La Bokka.

Steamboat will offer luxury apartments and penthouses for groups of four to 14, together with an indoor swimming pool, spa, treatments and an on-site ski shop. The emphasis is on combining the flexibility of apartment accommodation with a more serviced, hotel-style experience.

There's also a new restaurant dedicated to Savoyard specialities, headed by chef Frédéric Steiger. Open to non-residents as well as guests, it will be a place to enjoy traditional mountain dishes in an elegant setting.

Hôtel Saint Roch reopens in Courchevel 1850

From 18 December 2026, Hôtel Saint Roch will welcome guests to its five-star address in the heart of Courchevel 1850.

Just a short walk from the slopes, the hotel is set to combine contemporary Alpine design with high-end service and dedicated wellness facilities. Its central location makes it an appealing option if you want to be close to the resort's shops, restaurants and ski area.

Bârma Hotel & Spa: ski-in, ski-out in La Tania

Courchevel La Tania is also welcoming the Bârma Hotel & Spa, a new high-end property at the foot of the slopes.

With a focus on comfort, wellness and Alpine hospitality, the hotel will add another option for visitors wanting to stay close to the skiing while enjoying spa facilities and a more relaxed mountain atmosphere. It's another sign of La Tania's growing appeal for those looking for quality accommodation in a more intimate resort setting.

A new chapter for Le Bourbon Hotel

An established name in Courchevel 1850, Le Bourbon Hotel is entering a new phase under the management of the Chapitre Six group.

The change also brings a new restaurant concept, Simonetta, created by chef Simone Zanoni. With its Italian inspiration, it will add another flavour to Courchevel's already diverse dining scene.

Restaurants

A new Michelin star for L'Altitude

Courchevel's reputation as a food destination continues to grow, with L'Altitude, the restaurant at the five-star K2 Altitude hotel, earning its first Michelin star.

Led by chefs Guillaume Duchemin and Davide Sessa, the restaurant offers a contemporary interpretation of classic French cuisine. It's another name to look out for if a special meal is part of your winter plans.

With everything from traditional Savoyard dishes to Italian-inspired menus and fine dining, Courchevel remains a destination where what's on the plate can be just as much a highlight as what's happening on the mountain.

Events

Winter in Courchevel is about more than skiing, with a calendar of seasonal events, activities and entertainment throughout the resort.

For winter 2026-2027, the main dates to note are the resort's opening on 4 December 2026 and closing on 18 April 2027. As the season gets underway, keep an eye on our events calendar for the latest details of what's happening across Courchevel's villages.
