Last month we looked at the vast opportunities now open to skiers when choosing their winter holiday destination. This Annecy transfer company makes it possible for winter sport enthudiasts to be on the slopes in less than an hour a number of international airports in France. So it is easy to see why more and more visitors are choosing to make the journey by helicopter year on year. What is more difficult to decide on however, is which Courchevel station to stay at.
Our first resort guide was a brief look at the gigantic Three Valleys region, which encompasses more than eight major resorts and covers a skiing area of more than 600 kilometres.
The Three Valleys can be reached in just 20 minutes by Courchevel helicopter transfer, one of the Three Valleys largest and best known resorts.
But what we didn’t mention was the sheer choice of resorts within Courchevel itself. Found below is a brief outline of each of the mini sub stations within this vast skiing metropolis. Each village can be easily accessed using an Annecy transfer company, who will be more than happy to help you start your holiday in style by a quick and safe Courchevel helicopter company.
