COURCHEVEL
1850 (SABOYA-FRANCE)
Nestled
in Los Tres Valles (Three Valleys), in the region of Saboya,
Courchevel is one of the most beautiful ski resorts in
France and all of Europe. The resort spans five elevations
between 1,100 meters (3,630 feet) and 1,850 meters (6,105
miles). It is the most breathtaking resort of Los Tres
Valles. Its facilities, many chalets and wooded areas
combine naturally to form a beautiful, aesthetic and balanced
environment.
The resort is very well-equipped, boasting a wide network
of ski-lifts and first-rate hotels and services.
Many of the resort hotels will be hosting special New
Year's Eve dinner parties, each with a different twist:
some will offer Alpine and "athletic" dinners for skiers;
others will host formal dinners (not dress formal); and
all will have dancing and New Year's Eve parties. Courchevel
plans to ring in the new millenium with all the honors.
Courchevel
is accessible by air, from airports in Geneva, Chambéry
or Lyon. Connections can be made by bus or limousine.
By train, the station is located in Moutiers.
