A new family park under the Verdons gondola in Courchevel 1850 is being created for this season.  The Plantrey Snow Park is being moved to the Dunes and Canyons area between Verdons and Renards pistes and is to create a larger entertainment area for both skiers and boarders which is highly visible from the gondola.  The project is to be completed over several seasons but will include hoops, boarder, jumps, the Avalanche Park plus lots more.

According to Sarah Munro, head of Travel Services for the Post Office, “Prices in Courchevel, in the Trois Vallees area of the French Alps, have fallen by 11% this year despite the strong euro, making it one of just two resorts to show a fall in prices.”

“French ski resorts have responded well to the pressures imposed by the strong euro by slashing prices, and Courchevel now rates as one of the cheapest eurozone ski destinations as a direct result.”

Skiers and boarders these days are looking for “value for money”.   Considering that the Three Valleys is one of the World’s largest and best ski areas as it is so varied, extensive and snow sure and with the price reductions must surely rate amongst the top skiing destinations this season.  La Tania, located in the Courchevel valley offers many holidays at cheaper prices that it’s neighbour, Courchevel, and yet still accesses the same ski area.
