Top 5 après-ski activities in Courchevel

Courchevel is a renowned ski destination in the French Alps. As well as skiing, the town also offers a wide range of activities for après-ski enthusiasts. When the lifts close, the day is far from over. You can stay on the slopes and go tobogganing on the thrilling courses, take a snowmobile outing with a guide, enjoy the aqualudic centre and try out all the slides with your children, relax in one of the many spas in the resort or shop in the luxury boutiques. And of course, after all that, there's still one thing you can do: party. Bars, pubs, dances and discotheques open their doors to you for memorable evenings. Which après-ski activity will you choose? Here are the top 5 ways to make the most of everything Courchevel has to offer.

Staying on the slopes

In Courchevel, even if the slopes close, you can still enjoy the snow with three après-ski activities:

👉Verdons by night

It's not quite an après-ski activity, because every Wednesday, as soon as the slopes close, Verdons piste and the snowpark at Courchevel 1850 remain open. You can ski at night from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. And if you fancy a drink, the bar and restaurant are also open.

👉Luge

There are several places to go tobogganing in Courchevel and it would be a shame to miss out on this sliding activity during your winter holidays.
