Courchevel Le Praz is a pleasant old village, set near woodland at the lowest part of the Courchevel resort with the 1992 Olympic ski jump dominating the village. The village has a few bars and eateries and due to its undisturbed character is great for families and groups with young kids.
Access to the main slopes is only a gondola ride, over the trees, up to Courchevel 1850or towards the Col de la Loze for Meribel. Poor snow conditions used to mean a ride back down to the village however a new reservoir has been built to exclusively service the increased snow cannon network for the piste from 1850 to Le Praz . There is a beginner’s piste nearby and slopes that take you down from the top resort right back into the village.
Apres-Ski:
Nightlife is quiet and centres around the local bars. Le Praz is not the place for raucous nightlife. Its crêperie makessuperb vin chaud, and the Bar Brasserie is the only place with any life.
