When to go to Courchevel?
High in the Tarentaise, the pistes drop away from the Saulire, whose terrace at 2,738 m looks straight across to Mont Blanc. The snow front at 1850 is where the resort concentrates: timber chalets, ski lockers and the kitchens of Pierre Gagnaire and Yannick Alléno. Beyond it stretches Les 3 Vallées, 600 km of linked skiing.
