New 2026 Courchevel Piste Map – 5 New Lifts and 2 New Pistes!

The first release of the new 2026 piste map for Courchevel & La Tania is now available to download. All the 3 Valleys Maps will be uploaded on our Three Valleys Piste Maps page as soon as they are available.
Technically we’ve 5 new lifts in the Courchevel Valley this Winter. Obviously the new Chenus gondola has been the main focus of work this Summer but just below this is the new 1850 kids area with 3 new magic carpet / travelator type lifts and a completely re-shaped slope area. Finally the much talked about Rope Tow just below Chenus has been installed to allow blue run access from Dou des Lanches / Méribel without having to pole along towards the top of the Bouc Blanc chairlift.
New on the Ski Area for Winter 2026
See the numbers on the piste map
1 – Chenus Gondola
The new gondola is a POMA 10 seater with SIGMA Evo2 cabins and the new base station is located at ground level near the road – no more ramps! A big upgrade on the old 4 seater but they did remove the extremely useful Coqs chairlift (now gone from the piste map forever too!).
The new lift features:
- 54 Cabins
- 11 Pylons (instead of 15)
- Capacity 2,400 skiers per hour
- Bottom station 1760m
- Top station 2240m
- Vertical rise 480m
- Length 1674m
- Speed 5m/s
- Journey time 5 mins 49 secs
2 – Chenus Picnic Area
A new picnic area at the top of Chenus – warm and with a view!
3 – Lac Bleu Rope Tow
A useful addition for those who want to avoid the red run back to La Tania or to access the Chenus piste down to 1850.
4 – 1850 Kids Area
Completely revamped Jardin l’Enfants area with new slopes and 3 new magic carpets. A new piste zig-zags down alongside the new lifts.
5 – Pralinette Piste
New green piste in 1650 where the Carabosse fun area was.
6 – Western Ski Park
This fun area in 1650 has had a makeover including a new hammock!
7 – Canyon de Yepa (Indiens)
More work on this area with a new entrance, banners and sculptures.
8 – Carabosse
This Ski Fun area with banked turns and jumps has moved up to the top of the Signal lift in 1650.
9 – Saulire Rest Area
A new contemplation spot at the summit of La Saulire with a wooden terrace offering breathtaking views across to Mont Blanc sponsored by Hublot.
10 – La Tania Red Run
The 2026 piste map shows the restoration of the bottom section of the red Moretta Blanche piste leading back down to the La Tania gondola. This has been closed for the last 2 seasons while the new hotel and apartment complex on the old car park has been built. The building will be partially open by December 2025 and it is expected that the red run will be completed by then.
