Ski France
Courchevel, France

Les Trois Vallees alone has more skiable terrain than all the resorts of Colorado and Utah combined. What astounds first-timers about this area, beyond its sheer scope, is its flawless "skiability" – as though separate blueprints for beginners, intermediates and experts have been superimposed on this collection of peaks and valleys.

The flavor of Courchevel is a facade of warm wood and peaked alpine roofs. Courchevel sits surrounded by evergreen forests above a steep, glaciated valley. It combines spectacular views and clean air with the amenities of a first class cruise. When the sun sets, skiers gravitate to an exceptional selection of world class restaurants after which they press on towards the flashing lights of Courchevel's nightlife.
