Leisure activities and their locations

Aquamotion and the pump track in Courchevel Village

Aquamotion is located at 1297 route des Eaux Vives in Courchevel Village. Its facilities include swimming pools, slides, a spa and wellness offerings for the whole family. This puts both water activities and spa and wellness at the heart of the experience. If you plan your trip around specific leisure interests, you can consider these features individually rather than focusing only on the name of the facility.

The Pumptrack de Courchevel is located on rue des Eaux Vives in the Grandes Combes area of Courchevel Village. It comprises four loops of increasing difficulty and a total track length of around 325 metres across a riding area of 1,250 m². It is designed for mountain bikes, BMX bikes, skateboards, kick scooters and roller skates. The freely accessible circuit has rollers and banked turns. The facility is closed in winter; use may be restricted in unfavourable weather.

Toboggan run and routes between the villages

The toboggan run winds through the forest and is about 2 km long. It runs between Courchevel 1850 and Courchevel Village, ending there next to the bottom station of the Grangettes gondola lift. The entire route is lit; night-time use may be possible depending on the season.

The “Sentiers balcons” trail follows the Torrent des Gravelles and passes above Aquamotion. The “Sentiers balcons, de Courchevel 1850 à Courchevel Village” trail reaches Courchevel Village via the Plan du Vah landscape area. Snow and weather can affect seasonal accessibility. From the Courchevel Village stop, the “Sentiers balcons” trail offers a return to Courchevel 1850 by shuttle bus. As shuttle arrangements may change seasonally, check the timetable when planning your trip.

Craftsmanship, heritage and seasonal activities

Wood-and-stone boundary fences remain visible in Courchevel Village as an expression of distinctive local craftsmanship. Architectural heritage can also be discovered around Courchevel Village and Le Praz: several hamlets have remarkable examples of historic buildings, including Vilaflou. The “Autour de Courchevel Village et Le Praz” route is in the area around these two villages; access depends on the season and weather.

For ski touring with skins, ESF Courchevel Village is another place to visit. Its offerings are seasonal. Group and private lessons are also available there; their availability is also seasonal. Together with the place names, these can help you take your interests into account when planning your trip.
