If you’re heading to Courchevel this winter season 2026/2027, you’re likely chasing two things: legendary snow and top-tier mountain energy.
Fresh snow, familiar peaks and a handful of thoughtful additions. Courchevel enters the 2026/2027 winter season with a series of upgrades designed to make time on the mountain feel even more effortless.
From modern lift infrastructure that keeps you moving across Les Trois Vallées to new culinary destinations and festive alpine traditions, this winter is less about dramatic change and more about refining an experience that already ranks among the world’s finest ski resorts.
The season officially begins on 4 December 2026.
Modernised Mountain Access
Recent investments across Les Trois Vallées make exploring the mountains even more seamless. The Chenus Gondola, introduced last season, offers faster access from the Croisette with panoramic cabins and increased capacity, while the Côte Brune Gondola improves links between Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens and Les Menuires. Upgrades to the Olympe and Rhodos gondolas further enhance access from Brides-les-Bains and the Altiport.
Winter Atmosphere
The season opens with live music, ski demonstrations and the popular First Track experience. Throughout December, Courchevel comes alive with festive lights, Christmas markets, ESF torchlight descents and New Year’s celebrations across the resort.
Dining Worth Planning Around
Courchevel remains one of the Alps’ leading culinary destinations. Michelin-starred favourites including Alpage and Le Chabichou return alongside a growing collection of exciting new openings, making early restaurant reservations just as important as securing your chalet.
Experience Courchevel with The S Collection
Through our trusted network, The S Collection offers access to a carefully selected collection of ski-in/ski-out chalets in Courchevel 1850, Jardin Alpin and Chenus, complemented by discreet concierge services including private transfers, ski instructors and in-chalet dining.
If you’re planning Christmas, New Year or February half-term, now is the time to begin. The most sought-after properties are often reserved well before the first snowfall.
