Summer Update from Courchevel Tourist Office

If you’ve never visited The Alps in Summer, there’s loads to do and the scenery is absolutely spectacular. See our Summer Life in La Tania page.

The La Tania, Praz, Verdons and Vizelle gondolas will be open from 6 July 2024 until 1 September 2024 for hikers and mountain bikers.

The Punta Bagna Custom Motorcycle festival returns to Courchevel on opening weekend from 05 to 07 July 2024. Some 20,000 visitors are expected (and a lot of them on motorcycles) with plenty of events, entertainment and live music promised.

In Summer there’s a Fête just about every weekend in one of the villages and plenty of events and activities organised to keep everyone busy (or just relax on a sunny terrace drinking Rosé). The Summer Ski Jumping World Cup event in Le Praz is another highlight – you thought learning to ski on a dry slope was hard?

A new promotional video currently being show on Eurosport has been created by Courchevel Tourism – focusing on the skiing for a change, rather than the luxury hotel palaces and Michelin starred restaurants.

Winter 2025 opening dates for Courchevel 1850 have been announced (usually just the main lifts up Biollay and Saulire and maybe Chênus or Plantrey too).

Courchevel will be open from 06 December 2024 to 21 April 2025

Unusually they are opening on a FRIDAY to coincide with a Spanish holiday, and the closing date is a Monday (Easter Monday).

La Tania is usually a week later (on a Saturday) so we would expect 14 December 2024 but this is not confirmed.
