THE RESORT

Le Praz is one of the few picture-postcard villages still to be found in the French Alps and they don't come much prettier.  Nestling in the pine forests of Courchevel, this charming little village sits at the height of BEN NEVIS and perfectly combines traditional village life with world-class snowboarding.

There is no need to sacrifice doorstep riding to stay in a pretty alpine village. Le Praz has a choice of four exciting runs into the village and is well served by two gondolas, which provide speedy access into the truly massive 3 Vallees. Le Praz also has the OLYMPIC seal of approval in the form of the impressive 1992 Olympic ski jump! 

Courchevel is one of the wealthiest resorts in the world and its keenness to splash the cash to retain its reputation as one of the world's finest, impacts on all 5 villages. Just in case nature doesn't run its course, or just needs a helping hand, Le Praz has a purpose built reservoir dedicated to servicing our large network of snow cannons!
