Christmas

If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, then it makes sense total to run away to the mountains! With beautiful scenery, twinkling lights and a general air of festive cheer, Courchevel is a lovely place to spend your December skiing holiday, and what better way to relax than in a catered chalet when you can really take a break from the housework?

Our fabulous hosts will cook a humungous roast dinner with all the trimmings, then serve it alongside unlimited wine and as many roast potatoes as you can eat! Relish the opportunity to build a snowman (whether you have kids or not) instead of wrestling with a turkey… Our Ski Magic chalets sleep between 8-14 guests, so take the opportunity to bring grandparents, aunties and cousins together for a Christmas to remember. There are lots of lovely walks and activities for non-skiers.

New Year

What can we say? It’s one of the most popular times to ski because it’s such fun to be in a ski resort at New Year. Here in Courchevel we have reliable snow, parties on the piste, fireworks and torchlit descents. Not to mention hot tubs and chalets overflowing with fizz. It’s simply the place to be.

The fantastic bonus of a New Year skiing holiday is that whizzing down a snowy piste is one of the only hangover cures to actually work! The mere act of concentrating on something very important (not falling over) whilst being in crisp, fresh mountain air is extremely reviving to anyone who has indulged in too many shandies.

If you’re travelling with a group then we can accommodate parties of up to 26!

February Half Term

If you have school-aged children then half term is a very popular week to visit the mountains as the snow is great, and the weather can be lovely and warm.

It’s a great time to enjoy a family skiing holiday without any of the stress of shopping, cooking or cleaning – you can totally relax, make the most of your days on the slopes and have fun with your children.

Courchevel is a great choice as it has a good selection of reputable ski schools, the lifts are really very speedy so that means less crowding, and 80% of the skiing is betweem 1180m-2738m so there’s plenty of snow to go around.

There are lots of Courchevel activities during February such as fireworks and torchlit descents on the mountains.

Easter

The resort of Courchevel stays open until the 3^rd week in April, and this is where that North-facing aspect really makes the difference.

While other resorts may just have seen a bit too much of that lovely Spring sunshine, Courchevel is lucky and you can easily follow the sun around during the day to get the best out of your skiing. It can get slushy in the late afternoon, so take a leaf out of our book and ski high all morning then retire for a long, late lunch in the sunshine.

It’s a great time for a family skiing holiday, warm temperatures meaning children don’t get chilly (and at Easter you’ll find chocolate eggs in all the gondolas!)
