Why this trip
In winter a name for glamour and gourmet cuisine, in early summer a quiet mountain village with pastures, hiking trails and fresh air: Courchevel has two faces, and families with children should get to know the second. May to June and September to October are the months when the roads are empty and the meadows in bloom. The Olympe gondola connects the parts of the resort and carries you comfortably uphill, so small legs do not have to walk the whole climb. From the heights the view opens onto the Trois Vallées, one of the great mountain regions of the French Alps.
Children like the speed of the gondola here, the marmots by the wayside and the picnic spots found on short circular walks. If you have heard of nearby Val Thorens, Val d'Isère or Alpe d'Huez, you will soon notice that each resort has its own character. With children one base is usually enough, from which you explore the surroundings in small steps. A family room with a balcony, space for the luggage and a lunch break in the daily plan make the difference, and you discuss all of this beforehand with Swiss Vibes by video call.
Getting there
The family travels from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, and Swiss Vibes plans connection times so that the children have breaks in between.
