The 2 km Green Loop starts across the road from the Olympic ski jumps; the 7 km Red Loop and the 8.5 km Black Loop start at the Tourist Office.

The 5 km Les Brigues/Chantery trail starts 150 meters down from the Brigues car-park and leads skiers through a forest path. This trail crosses the ski runs so please be careful when crossing. Be mindful that the trail begins climbing uphill toward the end.

Courchevel 1650 – Belvédère area
The Boucle Bleue du Belvédère trail is a sunny, easy-rated 5 km loop. It begins at the round-about next to the Granges draglift and runs by the farmhouses at Pralin and by the Avals path.

Courchevel 1850
The Cold de la Loze Blue loop is a 2.5 km trail that begins on the left of the big rock. Follow the piste down to the 2250 meter high walk through the moraine at the botton of the Rocher de la Loze couloirs. Please note that skier must purchase a €6 ticket to use this course.

The 5 km Bouc Blanc Itinerary trail starts at the bottom of the Epicea draglift in the Plantrey section. This trail crosses the ski runs so please be careful when crossing.

The Courchevel/Meribel Altiport trail (17 km) and the Courchevel/La Tania trail (15 Km) are conjoined. Begin at the bottom of the Epicea draglift in the Plantrey section and trek through the Meribel Valley. Seven hundred meters after Le Bouc Blanc, there's a fork in the trail. The left fork is the remainder of the Courchevel/Meribel Altiport trail. The right-hand path leads to Les Les Prés de la Croix and then on a long downhill walk to La Tania.

Snowshoeing
The snowshoe trails are unmarked, unmaintained walking tours, so a Guide is highly recommended. The Tourist Office has a list of experienced guides to choose from.

Snowshoe from Courchevel 1850 to Courchevel 1650 via the Plan du Vah. Start off on walking trail No. 3 from the curve in the Rue de Clarines. Proceed about 200 m , then drop down to your left, carefully descending several fairly steep switchbacks, to eventually join up with the Bellevue trail. Follow this all the way to the Plan du Vah. Here you will walk along the ski trail which drops down through the little valley (for approximately 700 m), then take a right to connect with walking trail No. 5 (Les Tuffs) which will finish just below the Ariondaz district. Return available via the free shuttle buses.

Snowshoeing from Le Praz to La Tania takes approximately one hour. Start just beyond the Olympic ski jumps and take the trail found on your left. It will take you through the forest and to the tiny village of Tal. Cross over the road, then take the relatively flat path below that ends in La Tania.
