French property in Savoie - Courchevel 1300 Le Praz. Large ski chalet centrally located in this popular village ski resort.

You could dig out the cave/lower ground to create a new floor and also the attic can be renovated, creating huge possibilities. You could turn it into a lovely family chalet; or simply leave it as it is and continue to rent out the studio and apartments to seasonnaires (those that work in the resort for the full winter season).

It is located on one of the narrow streets that form the village centre and creates a charming, authentic location from which to enjoy both the winter and summer season, with summer season becoming increasingly popular here.

MORE ABOUT LE PRAZ
At the foot of the Courchevel ski area and above St Bon Tarentaise sits the delightful and original farming village of Le Praz, also known as the ski resort of Courchevel 1300.

Le Praz boasts a good selection of lively bars, creperies and fine restaurants including " Le Praz is La Table de Mon Grand-Père in Hotel Les Peupliers ", one of my favourites. There is also the Darbello and the S Courch that does excellent pizzas, host live bands and shows all the major sporting events.

Courchevel Le Praz, truly Savoyard in character, is definitely the prettiest of the four Courchevel ski resorts. A quaint village square, rustic chalets and narrow cobbled streets create a traditional French village ambience. It has a small lake which is frozen in winter making a stunning backdrop for the huge fireworks competition held here each year along with many music festivals both summer and winter. At the back of the lake is a huge ski jump which is used on the national and international competition circuit which along with walking, horse riding, parapointing, painting, golf, flying, climbing and many other superb mountain activities brings life beyond skiing to this village.

For skiing Le Praz is excellently situated with two telecabine lifts, the Praz and Foret running from the centre. The Praz telecabine lift takes you directly into the centre of Courchevel 1850. The Foret telecabine lift takes you up towards the summit of "La Loze" at 2196m, giving easy access to the wonderful skiing of Courchevel / La Tania or the Meribel valley. Skiing to Le Praz is a breathtaking experience in itself. Tree lined pistes, some of the prettiest in the three valleys, lead you to the village of Le Praz. The jockey’s black run into Le Praz is quite something and a superb challenges to those who like to ski a bit closer but not too close to the edge.

The traditionally good snow, north facing slopes and extensive network of snow cannons enable you to ski back to the village throughout the season, but regardless if the piste gets a little scratchy you can always catch the bubble down.

SKI AREA
The Courchevel ski area links in to the massive 3 Valleys ski area. From the foot of the Gondola lift you are 2 lifts away from either Méribel or Courchevel 1850.
