Les Suites de la Potiniere

Courchevel

More than just another ski resort, Courchevel is legendary. Over the years, it has become the incarnation of the perfect blend of snow and luxury. Courchevel is the international symbol of a top of the scale resort. As a destination for the rich and famous, Courchevel’s success continues to increase with, as proof, the regular addition of new five star hotels. But how exactly did this Saint-Tropez type village so popular with the jet set come about? The resort was officially born in May, 1946 as a socially conscious vacation spot open to all layers of the population with the goal of encouraging tourism in the Savoie region by making the mountains available to everyone. This idea continued on until the late 1990s when the construction of more luxurious hotels, notably the Courchevel 1850 village became a popular vacation spot for Russian oligarchs. Although the three other villages that make up the resort remain family oriented, the image of Courchevel as a luxury site is now anchored in people’s minds. Courchevel’s 119 ski slopes covering 493 kilometers make it the world’s largest skiable area. In addition, it has 174 ski lifts for its 32,000 tourists in high season as well as 800 monitors.
