Frequently asked

• How many Michelin stars does Courchevel have?

  Around fourteen Michelin stars sit across the Courchevel villages — roughly twelve of them in Courchevel 1850 itself — the densest concentration of any ski resort in the world. Le 1947 by Yannick Alléno at Cheval Blanc holds the only three stars; Le Chabichou, Baumanière 1850 and the pastry-focused Le Sarkara hold two each. Our Michelin guide keeps the current tally verified.

• What is the best restaurant in Courchevel 1850?

  For haute cuisine, three-starred Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc is the benchmark, followed by the two-star tables. For a classic mountain lunch, Cap Horn by the altiport, Bel Air above 1650 and La Soucoupe are institutions. It comes down to whether you want a gastronomic evening or a champagne lunch on the snow.

• Do you need to book restaurants in Courchevel 1850?

  For the Michelin rooms and the popular slope-side lunches in high season, yes — book well ahead, often several weeks for the three-star tables and a few days for the sought-after mountain terraces at peak weeks. Bars and casual spots are far more flexible.

• Where do you eat lunch on the slopes in Courchevel?

  The famous mountain lunches are Cap Horn, Bel Air, La Soucoupe and Le Bal — from relaxed terraces to full champagne-and-seafood affairs. Our lunches-on-the-slopes guide maps them by sector and price.

• Is there affordable dining in Courchevel 1850?

  Yes. Bistros and brasseries in 1850 and especially in 1650 run roughly €80–€140 for two courses with wine, and the village boulangeries and traiteurs make self-catering easy. The luxury reputation is about the top end, not the only option.
