The resort has designed specific areas for children, including gentle slopes, magic carpets, and snow gardens such as the Family Park Courchevel. These spaces allow young skiers to learn in a safe environment before moving on to more challenging pistes.

Courchevel’s ski domain offers variety, so older children and parents can share runs together while younger ones enjoy adapted slopes.
