For a modern twist on Courchevel’s old-world charm, take to the skies in a helicopter. There’s no better way to see the highest peaks in Europe than by reaching their heights in utter comfort. Depending on how long you would like to stay in the sky, you could fly around Courchevel’s different villages, or further out to Mont Blanc and its glassy-white glaciers.

Channel your inner Wim Hof by plunging into an ice-cold lake in Le Praz. Not only will you get a rush of endorphins pulsing through your veins, but several other health benefits that have been linked to cold water therapy. And, unless you’re a seasoned adrenaline junkie, this will be a unique memory of your time in Courchevel.

Jumping from the plane, or running off the slope’s edge, is the only scary part. Once you’ve done it, your heart will be beaming with pride and you will be rewarded with some of the best sights in Courchevel. Plus, it’s been known for mountain birds to fly alongside skydivers and paragliders on their journey.

Often proclaimed as the world’s skiing capital, Courchevel boasts some exceptional runs. Its own slopes are simply wonderful, and couple this with access to Les 3 Vallées – the largest ski area in the world – you can enjoy 600 km of pistes in total. With over 180 green-blue ski runs plus 140 red-black ski runs, there really is something for everyone.
