Location: Courchevel 1650. Chalet Ecureuil de Neige is in a tranquil location at the entrance to Courchevel 1650, next to our chalets Lapin and Ours de Neige. It gives skiers the huge advantage of being able to choose where to ski - 1650 or 1850 via 1550. The ski bus to 1550, which runs approximately every 20 minutes stops just across the road from the chalet. The chalet is also only 400m (approx.) to the new escalator which takes you straight to the centre of 1650 and the lifts. From here skiers can enjoy the traditionally less crowded slopes of 1650 which also have a reputation for being sunny yet holding the snow superbly. From 1550, the telecabine takes skiers directly to the Croisette in 1850. The ski school in 1550 is also the largest in the Courchevel area. The bars and restaurants of the lovely ‘real’ resort of 1650 are only 500 metres (approx.) from our chalets.

Courchevel 1650 Resort Info

'The most expensive resort in the French Alps'? Only partially true. Sat next to Val Thorens and Méribel, Courchevel is the most easterly of the Trois Vallées (the ski maps are back to front!) It is made up of four separate parts, each with their own character.
Courchevel 1650 straddles the main road up the valley and doesn't really capture the imagination of those travelling through, probably because its main attractions, an old village centre, lively bars and quiet chalets are hidden from view. A major bonus is the local slopes are usually less crowded than those above 1850. More Courchevel 1650 resort information

Snow Overview - France (snow news updated 31-Jan-2012)

Heavy snowfall returned to almost all our featured French resorts over the weekend. Cauterets (75/215cm) in the Pyrenees enjoyed 50cm of new snow on Sunday 29th January and Les Deux Alpes (90/300cm) received a whopping 70cm on Saturday 28th January. However, on Monday 30th January, the resort experienced low cloud cover which created poor visibility, but there were 43 lifts open. This theme was common all over France on Monday and although only a few resorts received fresh snow on Monday, the cloud cover combined with the low temperatures means further snowfall could be on the way. The southern French resorts also welcomed fresh snowfall over the weekend. This dramatically improved the pistes as it had been sometime since it had last snowed in the area. For example, Isola 2000 (45/79cm) received a respectful 20cm on Sunday 29th January and it continued to snow lightly in Foux d'Allos (55/85cm) on Monday.

European Weather Outlook

Cloudy and snowy skies are expected to loiter over the vast majority of European resorts over the coming days although only a light level of snowfall, around 1-2cm each day, is anticipated throughout the week. Sunshine is then expected to make a come back for the vast majority of resorts by the end of this week or the start of next week. The southern French Alpine resort of Isola 2000 however could receive up to 27cm of fresh snow on Tuesday 31st January, bucking the trend of just a dusting. The other weather news of note is that temperatures are set to drop, getting below -20C in many locations by the end of this week, so make sure you have some nice warm layers to put on.
