Courchevel properties for sale
Courchevel properties for sale attract buyers who want top-tier skiing, a big name address and direct access to the Three Valleys – the largest linked ski area in the world. At the top end, Courchevel 1850 sits among the most expensive ski markets globally, while Courchevel Moriond, Village, Le Praz and nearby La Tania offer more relaxed atmospheres and lower price points. You can buy anything from compact pisteside apartments to full-service, staff-run chalets, and still access the same 3 Valleys lift pass.
The resort comprises five distinct villages – Courchevel 1850, Courchevel Moriond (1650), Courchevel Village (1550), Le Praz (1300), and La Tania – each offering unique character and investment profiles. Courchevel 1850 represents the apex of luxury with properties averaging over €30,000 per square meter, while the lower villages provide more accessible entry points ranging from €12,000-€22,000 per square meter.
The ski area and seasons
Courchevel sits on one flank of the 3 Valleys with around 600 km of pistes up to 2,850 m, shared with Méribel and Les Menuires / Saint-Martin-de-Belleville. The local Courchevel sector itself offers everything from gentle green runs through the trees above Le Praz to wide red and black pistes above 1850. Fast lifts link the villages vertically, and from the top ridges, you drop easily into neighbouring valleys.
Altitude and aspect make Courchevel one of the more snow-secure French resorts. North-facing slopes above 1850 hold snow well, extensive snowmaking backs up key routes, and the 3 Valleys’ breadth gives plenty of options when the weather is mixed. The official season usually runs from early December into April, with high-altitude links often skiable right to the end.
In summer, Courchevel repositions as a walking, biking and alpine-lakes destination. Lifts open for hikers and mountain bikers, there’s a strong road-cycling scene, and the resort invests heavily in events and family activities. That dual-season infrastructure supports owners who want more than a five-week winter window.

Property types and key locations in Courchevel
Courchevel is best understood as a cluster of villages, each with its own character and price level:
Courchevel 1850 – ultra-prime flagship
Courchevel 1850 is the showcase address. Prime research puts 1850 at around €31,600 per m² for prime stock, with ultra-prime properties “frequently exceeding €40,000 per m²” and recent commentary citing price growth towards €33,000 per m². You’ll find:
Full-service chalets with pools, spas, cinemas and staff accommodation
Branded residences and serviced apartments with hotel-style amenities
Boutique apartment buildings right on or beside the pistes
This is where address and prestige matter as much as square metres. Weekly rentals for the top chalets run well into six figures in peak weeks, reflecting the international client base and limited supply.
Courchevel Moriond (1650) – family-friendly prime
Courchevel Moriond 1650 has a more relaxed feel, centred around a modern front-de-neige with ski schools, restaurants and newer residences. It’s still prime, but less intense than 1850.
Recent market data for Courchevel as a whole shows apartment prices between roughly €10,400 and €14,150 per m², with an average around €19,300 per m² when you blend all property types. In Moriond specifically, examples such as a 64 m² 2-bed around €825,000 (about €12,800 per m²) are typical for modern, well-placed apartments.
Most stock here is:
Chalet-style apartment buildings with 2–4 bed units
A smaller number of chalets on the slopes above the village
Newer schemes with underground parking, ski rooms and wellness areas
For many buyers, Moriond offers the sweet spot between Courchevel branding, ski convenience and value per m².
Courchevel Village (1550) – mid-station practicality
Courchevel Village 1550 sits directly below 1850 with fast lift access straight up. The feel is quieter and more residential, and pricing is generally below 1850 and often under Moriond for similar m².
Here you get:
Pisteside or near-pisteside residences close to the main lifts
Refurbished apartment buildings
A handful of chalets and semi-detached houses on the fringes
For buyers who want practical family bases with good rental prospects, Village is a strong candidate.
Le Praz (1300) – traditional village at the bottom
Le Praz is a genuine Savoyard village at 1300 m with narrow streets, a lake and a year-round community. A modern gondola links it directly to 1850 and another lift heads towards La Tania and Méribel, so access is much better than the altitude might suggest.
Pricing here is typically €12,000–€18,000 per m² for quality stock, according to recent market commentary, with more variation depending on age, finish and exact position. You’ll find:
Village houses converted into second homes
Small apartment residences
New-build projects that combine village atmosphere with modern layouts
Le Praz suits buyers who like the idea of “real” village life but still want a Courchevel postcode and direct lift access.
La Tania – better-value 3 Valleys neighbour
Just along the valley, La Tania sits in the forest between Le Praz and Méribel. It’s fully linked into the 3 Valleys but feels smaller and more relaxed, with a largely car-free centre and pistes running through the trees.
Independent data puts La Tania’s average price around €9,450 per m² for apartments and €11,250 per m² for chalets, with a typical 60 m² apartment around €587,000 – well below Courchevel 1850 and even under some Courchevel-commune averages. The stock includes:
80s/90s residences right on or beside the pistes
Newer serviced apartments with spa facilities and underground parking
Individual chalets along the forest edge
For many buyers, La Tania is the way to access the full 3 Valleys while maximising m² and yield for a given budget.
New-build versus resale in Courchevel
Courchevel and La Tania offer a mix of older buildings and new or re-developed schemes:
Resale apartments in classic blocks often have the very best locations – on the piste or right in the centre – but may need full renovation to modern standards.
New-build and fully renovated residences bring larger open-plan living, bigger windows, proper insulation, lifts, underground parking, ski lockers and spa areas.
Recent analysis suggests Courchevel apartments in 2023–24 typically traded between €10,380 and €14,150 per m², with higher €/m² for new or fully refurbished units and lower for older stock needing work. In 1850, prime new units and top-end chalets go far beyond this, while in La Tania new-build averages are still in the low-mid five figures per m².
Developers in Moriond, Village, Le Praz and La Tania increasingly use para-hôtelier (managed rental) structures. If you agree to a defined level of furnished letting with hotel-style services, you can often reclaim 20% VAT on the purchase price, which makes a meaningful difference at Courchevel prices. The trade-off is committing to a rental model rather than pure private use.
Lifestyle, year-round use and access
Lifestyle varies clearly by village:
1850 – luxury hotels, designer boutiques, fine dining and door-to-door skiing. It feels like a high-end resort first, village second.
Moriond – family-friendly, sunny front-de-neige, good for ski schools and modern residences.
Village & Le Praz – more traditional, with squares, year-round residents and quieter evenings.
La Tania – compact, wooded, car-light centre; practical and relaxed, very popular with families and regular British skiers.
Access is straightforward: the valley is roughly 2–2.5 hours from Geneva or Lyon, slightly less from Chambéry in good conditions. Once in resort, vertical lifts and shuttle buses link the villages and La Tania, so many owners park the car for the duration.
For longer stays or variety, it’s easy to ski over to other 3 Valleys hubs such as Méribel, Les Menuires and Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, where average prices are often lower – Saint-Martin, for example, shows average prices around €12,000 per m², with lows near €5,700 per m² and highs above €16,000 per m². That comparison helps frame Courchevel’s premium.

Rental demand and yields in Courchevel
Courchevel is one of the most liquid rental markets in the Alps. Demand comes from:
French and international families
High-net-worth guests and corporate groups in 1850
Regular 3 Valleys skiers who return year after year
A growing summer audience using lifts, lakes and trails
Because acquisition costs are high, net yields in 1850 typically sit around 2–3%, even though weekly rents in peak weeks can be exceptional. In Moriond, Village, Le Praz and La Tania, where €/m² is lower but season length and demand are still strong, it’s possible to achieve healthier percentages, especially on well-designed 2–4 bed apartments close to the lifts.
The Three Valleys’ size and reputation help keep occupancy resilient: the question is less “can I rent it?” and more “how much of the calendar am I willing to give up?” If yield is a major driver, La Tania and the lower Courchevel villages generally offer a better balance than ultra-prime 1850.
Who is Courchevel right for?
Courchevel and La Tania suit buyers who:
Want liquid, globally recognised Alpine real estate
Value infrastructure, grooming and lift quality
Plan to mix personal use with high-value winter rental weeks
Appreciate having different atmospheres and price points in one valley
If you want the most exclusive addresses and don’t mind paying for them, Courchevel 1850 is the natural focus. If you want to balance skiing, lifestyle and numbers, Moriond, Village, Le Praz and La Tania often make more sense. Buyers looking for a quieter, more traditional feel with solid value should also compare Courchevel with the likes of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville on the other side of the 3 Valleys.

Frequently asked questions about buying in Courchevel
Is Courchevel snow-sure enough for a long-term investment?
Yes. Courchevel benefits from altitude, predominantly north-facing slopes and access to the full 3 Valleys. While no resort is immune to climate change, its combination of height, aspect and snowmaking keeps it in the “more resilient” camp among Alpine destinations.
How do prices in Courchevel compare with other French resorts?
Courchevel 1850 sits at the very top of the French market with prime prices around €30,000 per m² and ultra-prime above €40,000 per m², whereas many good French resorts trade below €10,000 per m². Méribel and Val d’Isère are the closest peers; villages like Saint-Martin-de-Belleville or La Tania are typically far cheaper on a €/m² basis.
Is it better to buy an apartment or a chalet in Courchevel?
For most buyers, apartments in Moriond, Village, Le Praz or La Tania give the best balance between budget, maintenance and rental potential. Chalets make sense if you have a higher budget, plan extended stays and want privacy and amenities such as garages, wellness areas or staff accommodation.
Can I rent my Courchevel property year-round?
Winter is the main income driver, but there is a meaningful summer season, especially in the lower villages and La Tania. Para-hôtelier new builds can be rented almost year-round; classic second homes usually focus on high winter and a handful of summer weeks.
Where do I start if I’m interested in Courchevel properties for sale?
Start by clarifying budget, preferred village, property type and how you’ll balance personal use and rentals. From there, Domosno can shortlist Courchevel properties for sale that fit your brief, benchmark them against other 3 Valleys options and guide you through negotiation, due diligence and completion.
