Although the Courchevel ski area is one of the most famous in the world, many tourists come to discover the resort without skiing. Because snow vacations are not always synonymous with skiing, your favorite resort offers many opportunities to have fun, discover, and enjoy yourself in other ways. So, what is there to do in Courchevel without skiing? In this article, your Homebooker concierge service suggests a range of activities for the whole family!
Why not take advantage of your mountain vacation to try some unusual and fun activities? Outings for everyone, to enjoy with friends or family, offering you a chance to get away from it all without bumping into other vacationers on the ski slopes. The town of Courchevel is brimming with ideas and activities, a small selection of which we have listed below.
An ideal first choice for vacations with children who will love getting their hands in the snow: building an igloo. A fun, hands-on activity that teaches you how to build a rounded, thick Inuit structure with your own hands. Did you know that in Inuit, the word igloo means “snow house”? This activity offers a whole program for building a solid and original shelter that you will remember for a long time. Don't forget your gloves and boots!
The iconic outing that's a favorite with the whole family: dog sledding. A timeless moment where you can sit comfortably in your sled and watch the scenery go by. An unmissable activity in Courchevel, whether you ski or not.
Here's another unusual and dazzling activity to discover in Courchevel: ice diving. Dressed in a special suit and perfectly supervised by qualified instructors, come and discover the hidden wonders of Lac de Praz. An unforgettable and fascinating experience, with extra thrills if you choose night diving. For ages 16 and up. Suitable for both experienced divers and first-time divers, as a gift or a treat for yourself.
Another fun winter outing idea: discover the Olympic ice rink in Courchevel. An exceptionally large rink (60x30) where you can show off your ice dancing skills. One of the most famous ice rinks in France, where vacationers and locals gather daily to practice and have fun. To warm up when you leave, enjoy a delicious hot chocolate and a pastry in one of the establishments surrounding the rink.
Why not take advantage of your vacation to fulfill your lifelong dream of taking your first paragliding flight? Courchevel offers you the opportunity to fly over the valley and admire the surrounding mountains. A truly magical moment suspended in time, disturbed only by the sound of the wind as you fly. Tandem flights with a qualified instructor for a first paragliding experience that combines thrills and safety. A must-try!
This is the new trend of recent seasons: driving a snow groomer or dining on board one. A unique opportunity to discover this special machine at night, which is an integral part of any ski vacation. The resort of Courchevel offers night driving experiences in the form of a ride followed by an aperitif on board at altitude or a raclette at the top of the slopes. Unusual and unforgettable.
For lovers of wellness, why not try Snow Yoga? A new way to practice this ancient art in contact with the snow. Enjoy all the benefits of classic yoga, combined with the pleasure of breathing exceptionally pure air. Meditation, connection with nature, and relaxation are on the agenda with these outdoor classes. A moment for yourself from which you will return invigorated and completely relaxed!
Reserved for thrill seekers, the dirt scoot is a reinforced scooter ideal for hurtling down the rocky slopes of Courchevel at full speed. Halfway between downhill skiing and mountain biking, this scooter with handlebars and studded wheels is perfect for fun and sporty outings with family or friends. A new way to discover the ski slopes in summer.
A true mountain activity, somewhere between climbing and hiking, Via Ferrata involves climbing impressive rock faces. The Via Ferrata de la Croix des Verdons guarantees you an exceptional outing in a sumptuous setting. Always make sure you have the right equipment and know how to use it, but also find out about the physical difficulties of the route. You can do the activity alone or accompanied by an instructor.
