I have been skiing in Courchevel for years before I had my son and we stayed in the Courcheneige which was ski in ski out but for the last two years we have been to Austria to Kirchberg with my son (he is now 4)...

anyway, we want to go next year with another family and need some ski in ski out chalet ideas in Courchevel... also is there a quicker way of getting to Courchevel so as to avoid the three hour transfer with three kids!!!!!

Thanks!

Courcheval has an airstrip, you ca charter a private plane and fly in from somewhre like Geneva.

We're driving down to Courchevel on Saturday - it is usually about 8 hours from Calais, plus stops. We have an 18mth old (plus 2 older ones) so are breaking the journey North of Lyon overnight this time.

We're in a chalet just off the Bellecote piste in 1850, think we have to cross the road, so almost ski-in, ski out - but I think there are loads (at a price!).

We have also done the ski train overnight (not particularly recommended), but I'd think the daytime Eurostar to Moutiers is worth considering - as long as you can travel on the Saturday. Buses go regularly from Moutiers up to Courchevel, and it does only take 25 mins. Or you can get a taxi of course.

When I've skied down the Bellecote piste I've always thought the chalets on it must be the ideal place to start skiing with children. At a price, but probably worth it.

We're going to Samoens next week (not chosen by me). It looks a lovely town, but less ski in ski out you couldn't get.
