Got back from Courchevel 1850 in January. I initially thought that the prices wouldnt be too bad as I have read some reveiws with mixed opinions. But I can confirm that the prices there are ridiculous... unless you have very deep pockets and a wedge of cash to blow, I'd suggest that you try Meribel or VT. When we were there, there was an Arab Prince in town. Lots of white 4x4's and bodygaurds around the village.
Putting money aside, if you are begginners/intermediates, you will all love Courchevel 1850 as there are lots of gentle Greens and Blues to boost confidence. If you wnat to dabble on Reds and Blacks you will also love the challenges from the top. My misses is a bit of a whimp but she thoroughly enjoyed. As for me, I met a few guys from Essex and decided to go up to VT and back. After a very hard days skiing, I thought I'd have to buy a new pair of bionic legs off e-bay :D In my opinion, if you are feeling flush with the cash, go for Courcheval but if you dont want to pay through the nose for most things, I'd suggest trying one of the other valleys. There again, it is the Alps :D |
