The glitz of a luxury ski resort is epitomised by Courchevel, and nowhere more than in 1850. The high altitude and glamorous attraction of the rich and the famous causes a reputation that precedes itself. However, Courchevel as a whole has a lot to offer outside 1850. Developments across the 3 Valleys are leading to many new luxury chalets in Courchevel being built in many of the villages.
When you take a step outside 1850, you’ll be graced by the neighbouring villages: Moriond at 1650m, Village at 1550, and Le Praz at 1300m. In this blog, we take a look at the best luxury chalets in Courchevel outside 1850 that easily slot in next to Courchevel’s best properties.
Courchevel Moriond, 1650
Courchevel Moriond is becoming ever more popular with families, due to its wide, varied pistes, and fabulous family ski chalets. Additionally, within two lifts you can be in the heart of Courchevel 1850 or on your way to the top of the Saluire lift ready to explore the 3 Vallees. You can also find a range of non-skiing activities in Courchevel Moriond, such as one of the top tobogganing runs in the Alps! The original village of Moriond forms the basis for the resort of Courchevel 1650 giving it a colloquial, friendly atmosphere.
Chalets Licorne
Chalet Licorne is a gorgeous option amongst the luxury self-catered chalets in Courchevel. Located in the Belvedere region of Courchevel Moriond, this chalet was designed with families in mind. In the hunt for luxury ski-in, ski-out chalets in Courchevel, you’ll be more than satisfied with Chalet Licorne.

Courchevel Village, 1550
When looking at luxury chalets in Courchevel 1550 and 1850 you would think that they are miles apart. However, despite perception, this couldn’t be further from reality. The two resorts are separated by just one blue slope, Tovets, which provides both top-notch access and gentle skiing. It could even be one of the bets pistes in the Three Valleys. Both lifts from 1550 take you into 1850 in just 3-4 minutes. From there, you are free to roam the 600km of pistes afforded by the ski area!
Chalet Le 1550
Chalet Le 1550 is an outstanding chalet from the moment you begin the ascent up the private road where the chalet is located. From the spacious boot room, head up the stairs to the grand, stylish living area, brimming with comfort. But before this, you’ll find it hard not to be dazzled by the spa facilities on offer. A treatment room, sauna and massive indoor pool with counter current can all be found inside. Then just outside, a cedar wood hot tub offers prime views of the Bozel Valley! We can’t discuss this gorgeous chalet without also mentioning that it is a marvellous catered ski chalet, with gourmet offerings for all 15 guests to indulge with.
Courchevel Le Praz

Courchevel Le Praz‘s distance from Courchevel 1850 is just 6-minutes via the Le Praz bubble lift! Many would argue that Le Praz is the best Courchevel village for access to 1850 due to this recent addition to the lift system.

You can get a high-end boutique chalet rental for incredible value!
