All our services in Courchevel

Your property in Courchevel, seen from abroad

Courchevel welcomes a strong international clientele in winter, often owners of a second home used seasonally. The resort is well used to hosting families and overseas visitors, with multilingual services. For non-residents, the key challenge is managing the property remotely between stays, which the dedicated concierge can handle locally.

Getting there and around

Courchevel is served by two gateways: Chambéry (CMF), about 1 h 30 away, which comes alive mainly in winter with seasonal flights, and Geneva (GVA), about 2 h 20 away, whose much broader network eases year-round connections. A rare asset, the Courchevel altiport, perched at 2,008 m (a very short 537 m runway), welcomes private aviation and helicopters for direct access to the area. By rail, the Moutiers TGV station, down in the valley, is about 40 min by road; in season, a direct TGV links Paris in about 4 h 30.

The rhythm of the year

The ski season runs from early December to late April, and the market sees two active windows: autumn (September-November), when buyers aim for completion before winter, and spring (April-June), after the season. For a remote buyer, the ideal is to view in the heart of winter to judge slope access and crowds, then off-season to gauge the real calm. In summer, the resort lives to the rhythm of hiking and cycling, at a quieter pace.
