Car parking in Courchevel

There are 15 car parks in resort offering nearly 2,500 spaces spread over the different levels of the station.

Metered street parking is available throughout the resort between 07:00-20:00 with a very vigilant local Police Municipal keeping watch, so be careful to make it back to your car on time.

Also, be aware that digging your car out after a metre of snow has been dumped on it is not a lot of fun. The local authorities may put up a sign (which you won’t see unless you check every evening) to say that all cars need to be removed by 07:00 the next morning to allow snow clearance. Those that are still there at 07:01 are quite likely to be unceremoniously dragged away.

There is a limited amount of free parking in Courchevel and it can be hard to come by. It is best to check with your accommodation to see if they offer free parking or an onsite car park. If not then most of the parking in Courchevel is in designated indoor and outdoor car parks which are paid for.

All of the indoor car parks do offer the first hour free of charge, and there are a few spots located on the streets in the centre of Courchevel 1850 where you can park your car for free for a limited amount of time (from 10 minutes, 45 minutes or an hour).

Two are on the left as you leave the village beside the lake and the other two are at the base of the ski jump. These take around 300 cars in total and the Jean Blanc one is also a designated camper van parking area. (There is another one on the way up to 1550 at Les Grandes Combes).

There are 11 covered car parks in the Courchevel valley with a total of 2,000 spaces between them, they are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with CCTV.

• 1650 – Cimes Blanches
• 1550 - Les Grangettes
• 1300 – St. Bon Town Hall

Dotted around the Courchevel valley you will find only a few outdoor car parks.

Courchevel (1850) has no outdoor car parks and has a limited number of outdoor parking spaces on the streets, meaning you are likely to have to opt for the indoor covered parking. In between Courchevel Moriond (1650) and Courchevel Village (1550) there is an outdoor car park located at Les Grandes Combes next to the bus park. Courchevel Village also has an outdoor car park situated near to the bottom of the Tovets chairlift.

Courchevel Les Praz (1330) has three outdoor free car parks. Two of these car parks are located near to the bottom of the ski jump and one is located on the other side of the lake just before you enter the village. In total these car parks have 300 spaces.

Make sure when parking outdoors you have access to a shovel as after a heavy snowfall you may find yourself having to dig your car out! Also beware of signs from the local authorities stating that your car needs to moved by 07:00 to allow for snow clearance, this can be worth checking every evening. Outdoor car parks can be located on the resort maps by the blue square P.

There are a few spots where you will find disabled parking spaces in Courchevel. Most of these spaces are free and some are found right in the centre of Courchevel.
