Courchevel's 4 Villages — Navigate the Biggest Linked Ski Area in the World

Les 3 Vallées is the largest linked ski area in the world — over 600 kilometres of interconnected pistes. At its western edge sits Courchevel, a resort spread across four villages at different altitudes. Navigating this kind of terrain without a proper 3D map is like trying to explore a city without a street map. Possible, but painfully inefficient.

Four Villages, One Mountain

Courchevel is not one place — it is four: Courchevel 1850 (the famous luxury village), Courchevel 1650 (Moriond), Courchevel 1550 (Village), and Courchevel 1300 (Le Praz). Each sits at a different altitude on the same mountainside, and the ski terrain connects them all. In 3D, you can see how the villages stack up the mountain and how the lifts and runs weave between them.

Using Lift Filtering in a Mega-Resort

With hundreds of lifts across Les 3 Vallées, finding the right one matters. Bonvo.Ski's lift filtering lets you cut through the noise:

  • Filter by gondolas only to find the fastest vertical transport between villages
  • Show high-speed chairlifts for efficient laps on your favourite sectors
  • Hide drag lifts to focus on the main arterial routes across the domain

Planning a Les 3 Vallées Traverse

The dream for many skiers is to traverse the entire 3 Vallées in a single day — from Courchevel to Méribel to Val Thorens and back. Open the 3D map, zoom out to see the full domain, and plan your route. You can see the ridgelines that separate the three valleys and identify the key lifts that connect them. It is ambitious, it is exhausting, and it is one of the greatest ski days you will ever have.

Download the map the night before. Six hundred kilometres of terrain deserves a proper plan.
