View over the Courchevel valley from Chalet Les Cochettes

A chalet at the gateway to Les 3 Vallées

Les 3 Vallées is the largest ski area in the world, and Courchevel is one of its gateways. Chalet Les Cochettes sits in Courchevel Le Praz: the nearby Le Praz gondola opens directly onto the area and reaches Courchevel 1850 in 6 minutes. Staying in Le Praz means skiing Les 3 Vallées while sleeping in a village rather than in the middle of a resort.

From the chalet to the slopes

The free Courchevel shuttle stops 50 metres from the chalet and reaches the Le Praz gondola in about 5 minutes, with one service each way every hour through the day. From the gondola, access to the ski area is direct and Courchevel 1850 is 6 minutes away.

In practice you leave to ski in the morning without a car, come back on the same shuttle, and head straight down to the indoor pool.

What the chalet adds to a ski week

  • Heated ski room with boot dryer: dry boots every morning
  • 10 m heated indoor pool for recovery after the slopes
  • Cinema room and games room for late afternoons and bad-weather days
  • Central fireplace in a 90 sqm living room
  • Ski hire delivered to the chalet and private instructors arranged on request, charged separately

Planning the week

The chalet is rented weekly, with arrivals on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday and a 6-night minimum. That flexibility is a real advantage in peak season, avoiding the busiest transfer days on the Tarentaise valley road.

For lift passes, opening hours and snow conditions, rely on the official Courchevel and Les 3 Vallées information, which changes every season.
