Courchevel is a ‘foodie paradise‘ – it has more Michelin-star restaurants than any other ski resort in the world. Indeed with 8 restaurants holding stars, it has as many as some capital cities! So, if you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion you have a great selection to choose from: Le 1947, Le Montgomerie, Le Kintessence, Le Chabichou. Sakara, Baumaniere 1850 and Le Farcon. And if you’d like to try one of them but don’t want the full-on-formal-dinner service, I would recommend going for lunch in either Le Farcon (1 star) or Le Chabichou (2 stars) both of which are ski-in and offer a much more reasonably priced skiers’ lunch.

Great mountain lunch stops in the Courchevel Valley that is not to be missed are the Bouc Blanc at the top of the La Tania gondola which is family-run and serves delicious, well-priced dishes, or La Cave des Creux at the top of the Aiguille de Fruit chairlift where the grilled meats and steaks are to die for. On a sunny day head for the Bel Air above 1650 – fantastic views, sunny balcony, and great food.

In the evening you’ll find everything from pizza to fondues and other Savoyard specialties and all of the villages have great options so wherever you are in the resort you’ll find a great place to eat.

Après-ski in Courchevel starts on the slopes – begin in the Folie Douce on the Meribel side of Saulire, then head down to 1850 via the DJs and live music in Nammos before hitting the bars in the villages. Le Mangeoire Piano Bar has music til late or for a Spanish flavor go to La Copina in 1650.
