in short:
- going back from Courchevel 1850 (actually Les Creux) to Courchevel 1650, a new detachable chairlift replaces the old Prameruel & Roc Mugnier chairlifts
- below the Courchevel Altiport, the beginners Cospillot draglift is extended downwards to accomodate additional lodging
- upgrade to the Rosael chairlift from Orelle, specially designed to operate with stronger winds than in the past
- if you miss the last connection of the day between Meribel & Courchevel
, there is now a free shuttle service between La Tania and Meribel, in addition to the existing shuttles within the Courchevel valley.
