Despite its quieter nature, 1550 benefits from a highly efficient lift system, giving you rapid access to Courchevel 1850 and the extensive main ski area in just one lift. The ski area directly served by Courchevel 1550 is relatively small, but the resort’s main appeal lies in its quick access to 1850, rather than its own pistes.
There are two main lifts in Courchevel 1550: the Grangettes gondola, which provides a direct link to La Croisette in Courchevel 1850, and the Tovets chairlift, from where you can ski down to the Plantrey lift thereby avoiding all the early morning queues at the main lift station in 1850.
While 1550 has a small selection of its own runs, most skiers staying here opt to use the resort’s excellent lift links to explore the wider Three Valleys ski area. To reach Courchevel Le Praz, take the Tovets chairlift out of 1550, then follow either the Amoureux or Brigues red pistes down into the resort centre. To access Courchevel 1650, take the Grangettes gondola up to 1850. From there, jump on the Jardin Alpin gondola and ski down to the Biollay chairlift. Follow the blue Pralong and Prameruel pistes to the Roc Mugnier chairlift, and from the top, you can ski directly into Courchevel 1650.
For beginners and children, the Roys lift provides free access to a small green piste, perfect for building confidence. Additionally, the Grangettes gondola offers access to the children’s ski areas in Courchevel 1850. At the end of the day, if you'd rather not ski back down, you can always take the gondola back to Courchevel 1550.

Best Bars & Restaurants in Courchevel 1550
Although there aren’t a huge number of restaurants in the centre of Courchevel 1550, the quality is still high. A must-visit restaurant in Courchevel 1550 for meat lovers is L’Oeil de Boeuf. Located on the main high street at the foot of the Tovets piste, this intimate Savoyard restaurant specialises in meats grilled over an open fire.
Also boasting a rustic Savoyard setting, Le Caveau serves typical Savoie specialities such as fondue, tartiflette and regional escargots. Don’t miss out on the “Sweet Corner” with its selection of homemade pastries, sorbets and crème brulée to finish your meal.
Serving a wide variety of mouth-watering pizzas made in traditional ovens, La Corto is another fantastic option. It also does take away, as does La Chapelle which provides feel-good mountain cuisine. Another favourite of ours is Le Grill at the Ecrin Blanc hotel next to the Grandes Combes chairlift which offers local classics such as cheese fondue, pasta and burgers.
One of the most popular restaurants in Courchevel 1550 is La Table des Flocons, an ideal lunch spot right next to the piste and ski school meeting point. Part of a family-run hotel, enjoy delicious Savoyard cuisine in the cosy interior or on the sun terrace.
