Ski hire Courchevel

Courchevel, the avant-garde resort

It all began in 1946 when the village of Saint-Bon ceded land to the department for the operation and construction of a ski resort in the Alps. Situated at an altitude of 1850 metres, Courchevel attracted international clients, snow classes etc... The "ski to your feet" concept was invented by a lover of the mountains and wide open spaces, Laurent Chapuis. He drew up the plan for an ideal ski area to meet the needs of future tourists and thus created an avant-garde resort to link sport, urbanism and pleasure. From 1954 to 1964, it was Emile Allais, a great French alpine skier, who took over the technical management of the resort. Surrounded by visionaries and ski enthusiasts, he created a piste service in the 1950s to ensure the grooming of the slopes, secure the ski area and offer a safety service to skiers. A true intrepid enthusiast, Emile Allais revolutionised the practice of winter sports. In the heart of the Tarentaise, the ski resort is constantly looking for innovation in order to maximise your comfort during your stay in Courchevel.
