Of all the things to do in Courchevel, skiing can’t really be missed off your list, even if you’re a beginner. L’école de ski Français de Courchevel is the biggest ski school in the area, with offices in 1850, 1650 and 1550.

With more than 600 instructors on the register, there’ll always be someone on-hand to help you get up to speed on the slopes. Choose from one of three courses; try free-riding on the steepest off-piste, a performance day on the slalom course or get away from it all by helicopter to Zermatt.
