Dog Sledging

Take charge of your own pack of huskies or ride with a professional musher (that’s a person who drives dog sledges). This is a true back to nature adventure as you travel through the trees, slopes, and valleys of the local scenery.

Pick from a gentle ride as you sit back and enjoy the panoramas or choose some adrenaline-fuelled action as you tackle the true mountain terrain. Out of all the things to do in Courchevel, dog sledding is truly unique.

Snowmobile

If engine power is more your style then this one is for you.

Once the lifts close, use a caterpillar track equipped snowmobile with skis for wheels to carve your way around the winter landscape. It’s your personal playground for the evening. Drive your own vehicle, under expert instruction, along graceful trails or blast through untouched powder.

You’ll experience nothing like effortlessly cruising through the mountains as sunset fades into the moonlight. If you’re lucky you’ll even catch a glimpse of Mt. Blanc.

Lac Rosiere

Visiting the unmissable, magical, lake that truly comes alive in winter and spring. Saunter around the tranquil shores of the azure lake, disappear into the snowy woodland trails and stand in awe of the miraculous icicle covered cliffs.

Lac Rosiere sits hidden away in the valley below Courchevel Moriond, as is one of the best-kept winter secrets in the area.

Hot Air Balloon

Take to the skies in your own personal hot air balloon. The most serene and peaceful way to see Courchevel and far beyond. A bucket list item stays forever in your memory.

Fly with the wind for 1 or 2 hours and see new worlds unfold before your eyes. Nothing is better than floating the crisp calm mountain skies at sunrise. You’ll see the snow-covered forest below and even the wildlife as you silently watch a hidden world from above.

Paragliding

Jump into the skies and find a new way to descend with just a parachute. Feel the ultimate freedom of flight, accompanied by your pilot.  Swoop and spin for extra adrenaline or even fly to the cheers of the crowd at your favourite apres-ski spot.

It’s time to explore the mountain from a new perspective with the swirl of the wind and thermal lift until you safely touch down at the foot of the slopes.
