Courchevel — Planning your trip

Being such a big resort, there are plenty of transport links to take you from the surrounding airports to your particular village (most fly into Geneva). Located in the French Alps, Courchevel is home to some serious skiing, with access to the Three Valleys, making it very popular. For this reason, it’s always advisable to book well in advance for transfers and accommodation. If you use a bus transfer, try to book your tickets well in advance - the buses can get very busy and some companies act on a reservation-only basis. Geneva is 150km from Courchevel and has the most transport links to transfer you to the resort. The next biggest airport is Lyon St Exupery which has public buses to the ski stations. The smaller airports of Chambery and Grenoble are closer but have fewer public transport links. 

Unfortunately there are only a couple of trains a week - normally Fridays and Saturdays. Eurostar runs a direct train from London that stops in Moutiers for Courchevel. Having a car in resort gives a lot of flexibility to visit other resorts but bear in mind that you will have to pay to park in resort (around €70 for seven days). Driving to Courchevel will take you about 12 hours from Calais. The motorways are the quickest route but will cost €66.10 in toll charges each way.
