A Guide to Courchevel Le Praz
Courchevel Le Praz, also referred to as Courchevel 1300, in our opinion, is one of the prettiest resorts in the Three Valley ski area. The village has a very traditional alpine feel to it and you can find some truly stunning traditional wooden chalets. Although it is the lowest resort in the Courchevel Valley, it has great connections to the rest of the Courchevel ski area.
