What to do in Courchevel in winter? Our activity ideas

During the day, make the most of the snow-covered landscapes and venture beyond the traditional ski slopes to discover new experiences.

A dog sledding experience in Courchevel, for example, takes you through snowy forests and winter landscapes at the pace of the team, guided by a professional musher. A truly immersive way to experience the mountains in a completely different atmosphere.

For those looking for more thrills, snowmobiling offers another way to experience driving on snow. After a safety briefing, take control of the snowmobile in a dedicated area and discover the first sensations of riding on snow.

And for something even more unusual, head onto the ice. Ice diving and ice floating offer a completely different perspective on the winter environment, combining immersion, silence and fascinating plays of light beneath the frozen surface.

Courchevel is also an ideal destination when not everyone in the group wants to ski.

You can easily alternate a day on the slopes with a dog sledding experience, an activity on the ice or another snow-based adventure. These alternatives allow you to make the most of winter in Courchevel without necessarily putting on a pair of skis.

It is also a great way to enjoy a variety of experiences during your stay and share activities with people who may have different abilities or interests.

When the slopes close, the atmosphere in the mountains changes. Skiers gradually return to the resort, while some of Courchevel’s most unique experiences are just beginning.

An evening snowmobile ride lets you experience the snow in a completely different setting. As night falls, the resort lights, forest and snow-covered landscapes create a whole new backdrop.

For a more peaceful experience, a snowshoe hike takes you into the forest to a secluded spot, where you can enjoy an aperitif or continue the evening with a traditional mountain dinner.

Those looking for more thrills can also experience the slopes differently with evening sledging, organised after the ski runs have closed.

In Courchevel, some experiences don’t end when the activity does.

After a snowmobile ride or a snowshoe hike, the evening can continue over an aperitif or a dinner featuring traditional mountain specialities.

A chalet nestled in the forest, an igloo or a setting in the heart of nature: the location becomes an integral part of the experience. It is no longer simply about enjoying dinner, but about making the journey to get there part of the evening itself.

Ultimately, it all depends on the kind of experience you are looking for. To discover the mountains at a gentler pace, dog sledding or snowshoeing allow you to take your time and enjoy the scenery. For more thrills, snowmobiling and snow activities offer a more dynamic experience. And for something completely different from traditional winter activities, ice diving is a particularly original choice.

Day or night, Courchevel offers so much more than skiing. Winter becomes a playground of experiences, allowing everyone to shape their stay according to their own interests.

At Courchevel Aventure, we offer a variety of activities and experiences designed to help you discover the resort differently, both during the day and in the evening.
