Le Praz - Courchevel 1300
 We love the old feel of Le Praz. Wander around the streets, try out the excellent restaurants and enjoy some lovely tree skiing back into the village. They also have excellent fireworks displays during the holiday periods.

The prices have slowly been heading up to our more expensive neighbors Courchevel 1850. This is still a great place to stay and the food in the resaurant is very good
If you check out Esprit Ski and Ski link ( www.ski-link.co.uk), they both have catered, self-catered chalets for offer in Le Praz. |

|
Le Praz Ski
 We love the tree lined runs back down into Le Praz. The run makes a nice change from the large open slopes of Courchevel 1850. Le Praz is also not too far from Champagny which will give you access to the mighty La Plagne area
see Courchevel resort page for an overview of the whole mountain. |

We love the JAMCAM – it’s a head camera that allows you to capture your days skiing or snowboarding on the mountain. You can rent or buy the kit so for more details head to www.jam-cam.tv If you take the JAMCAM rental service in resort they include a host to record your day.

 What's an easy way to carry skis?
Well we found the ‘THE HANDLE’ . This nifty little device allows you to carry your skis around without causing major injury to yourself and other members of the public. It’s incredibly easy to use – no Velcro just a click buckle. It’s also light and small enough to put in your pocket. www.ski-walker.com

Stayed in Le Praz which is the lowest part of Courchevel at 1300 metres. Early and late season the snow disappears but it's made up by the sunny restaurants. We love the place, full of French charm, a couple of windy cobbled streets. Pretty tree lined run back into the resort. You have all the benefits of skiing 3 Valleys without the 1850 costs.
