If you need anything else while you’re on the slopes, you can take a trip to the Luxury Ski Room by BO which has everything from clothing to expert guides.
If you’re travelling with your children, let them spend a morning in a Ski School at the heart of Courchevel 1850, where they can practice downhill skiing in complete safety before they head to the slopes. Teenagers can enjoy the Boardercross facility to practice, but if they want to take the afternoon off the slopes, it’s just a short drive to the ice rink and bowling alley.
