Courchevel Snow Report & Forecast

Discover the latest Courchevel snow conditions

Imprint
By Nye Erskine, Updated

Courchevel feels settled and confidently wintry this week, with cold mornings in the villages and a clear alpine atmosphere across the Trois Vallées. The mountains look well covered above the tree line, while lower slopes show a neat contrast between shaded forest runs and sunnier open faces. The season feels properly underway now, with conditions that are reliable and a relaxed rhythm on the slopes as skiers spread out across the area.

Snow and Weather Summary

Snow depths in Courchevel are currently around 50 to 70cm at resort level, increasing to approximately 170 to 210cm on the upper slopes. There has been only light snowfall over the past week, mainly refreshing the surface at altitude rather than adding notable depth lower down. Temperatures have remained cold, with freezing levels mostly below 1100m and daytime temperatures in resort staying close to zero. Winds have generally been light, occasionally picking up on exposed ridges but with little impact on lift operations. Skiing conditions are best above mid mountain where the snow remains cold, compact and consistent, especially on north facing terrain. Lower runs are firm early in the day and soften slightly by late morning on sunnier aspects, but coverage remains good on main routes.

Outlook & What’s On

The outlook for the coming days points towards mostly dry and cold weather, with a welcome chance of some significant snowfall later in the week, mainly affecting higher elevations. These conditions should help maintain piste quality, with grooming continuing to play an important role. Courchevel’s winter programme continues through early January with family activities, on mountain events and evening entertainment across the villages, keeping the resort lively without the intensity of peak holiday periods.

Snow Takeaway

Overall conditions in Courchevel are stable and dependable, with the best skiing found higher up and on shaded slopes. Early starts will give the firmest snow, while lower terrain is best enjoyed once it has softened slightly later in the morning.

Totally awe-inspiring, this is one of our favourite shots, with the spikey rock formations of the peaks, the infamous couloirs on the right (use our cam to check the conditions after a fresh dump of snow!) and the main piste down to resort.
