Match the altitude village to your daily plan
Le Praz, La Tania, Village, Moriond and 1850 each need a first-lift, lesson and collection plan. A cheaper package elsewhere in Courchevel can introduce a separate journey for fitting and return. Keep both the numbered and modern village names in the travel notes so every confirmation points to the same place.
Village/1550 and Moriond/1650 are useful paired labels; neither means 1850.
How the arrival fits your chosen base
Use Moûtiers for the mainline train, then a bus or transfer to the particular Courchevel village.
La Tania and Moriond require their own arrival instructions.
- Arrive at Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains.
- Choose Le Praz, La Tania, Village, Moriond or 1850 for the next leg.
- Check the final stop against the residence entrance and collection shop.
Choose collection around the first ski day
Keep Le Praz, La Tania, Village, Moriond and Courchevel 1850 distinct when comparing pickup points.
Put the accommodation entrance, lesson meeting point and intended collection shop on one map before paying. A lower equipment price in another village can introduce a special fitting or return journey. Ask the chosen shop about collection hours and return conditions; this guide does not promise those commercial details.
Before committing to transport
The altiport is not an ordinary scheduled-airport substitute.
Use a date-specific operator planner for the complete outward and return trips. A published ride time does not include baggage collection, waiting, road delays or the last walk to the building. If the last usable service is too early, compare an organised transfer or an overnight near the gateway before buying a non-refundable connection.

Does Moriond mean Courchevel 1850?
No. The municipality lists Moriond at 1,650 m and Courchevel at 1,850 m.
Which railway gateway should I use for Courchevel?
Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains. La Tania and Moriond require their own arrival instructions.
Should the rental shop be in the same place as my accommodation?
Keep Le Praz, La Tania, Village, Moriond and Courchevel 1850 distinct when comparing pickup points. Compare the real collection and return journey rather than assuming all entries in a ski area are interchangeable.
