"The snow is too soft! That's true, but only from mid-day onwards, and there are a lot of advantages that we don't think about: everything becomes softer: temperatures, snow, prices... That it's the best time to ski without pressure, "à la cool". With a bit of skiing in the morning, a terrace at lunchtime in the Courchevel heights and lazy afternoons with your girlfriends. It's the perfect time to start skiing!

Imagine yourself on an immaculate slope of fresh powder, silence all around… Skiing off-piste in Courchevel is a unique experience. But behind the beauty of fresh snow hide some important rules to know before you head out into the mountains.

Whether it’s after two green runs or 5 steep couloirs in the powder; whether it’s for a quick cup of tea, a moment to rest your legs or to wolf down your sandwich… it’s definitely wise to take a few minutes away from the pistes for a well-earned rest! Here are our unmissable spots for your picnic, either with a picture postcard backdrop or to warm up somewhere cosy!
