The popular resort of Courchevel, located in the Three Valleys, is home to 11 free lifts for beginners spread across each of the resort villages so you are guaranteed to find a safe place to learn. The best two villages to hone your skills are Moriond 1650 and Courchevel 1850 which both have dedicated nursery slopes as well as long winding green runs for you to aim for after a couple of days.

Once you start getting the hang of standing up and moving forward, the Three Valleys is arguably the best place in the world to get in some mileage and progress onto steeper terrain and, fortunately for beginners, Courchevel prides itself on just how well they groom their pistes.

Although it’s one of the more expensive resorts around, for the variety of runs and the quality of the snow, it’s totally worth it.
