Events for all the family
Right from the start of the holidays, the festivities kick off with a photo rally and a big marshmallow party in Courchevel Village, perfect for a convivial family moment. At the media library, an interactive exhibition of sound sculptures will be held every Tuesday, offering a unique artistic experience.
Art lovers will not be left out with the exhibition of paintings by Brigitte Demange and sculptures by Mireille Louviot at the Salle de la Croisette in Courchevel 1850, from 14 to 24 February.
Adrenalin and sports competitions
Challenge-seekers will be able to test their endurance at the Géné'Piste Touring Challenge on 16 February in Courchevel Moriond. This 2.8km course with a 528m vertical drop will put touring skiers to the test, before a festive descent and the chance to discover HEAD's new CRUX range.
Another highlight: the Trophée du Beaufort, a night-time Nordic skiing competition, will bring together almost 300 athletes on 25 February in Courchevel 1850. The programme includes pyrotechnic effects, a DJ set and a supercharged atmosphere on the snow front.
Magical torchlight descents
One of the highlights of the holiday season, the ski school torchlight descents will be lighting up the slopes of Courchevel La Tania and Moriond on 12, 19 and 26 February.
As a bonus, an XXL version will allow skiers of second star level and above to join in the event by buying a torch, the proceeds of which will go to the instructors' emergency fund.
Spectacular shows and concerts
On 4 March, Mardi Gras will be celebrated in style in Courchevel Le Praz. From 4pm, there will be a parade of floats, street entertainment and artistic shows, followed by a torchlight procession at 7.30pm. And don't forget to dress up for your chance to win prizes.
The Ski Shows, combining technical demonstrations and festive entertainment, will set the slopes alight on the following dates:
- 18 February at Courchevel Village
- 24 February in Courchevel 1850
- 3 March at Courchevel Moriond
An extraordinary fireworks festival
The Festival d'Art Pyrotechnique will be taking on an exceptional dimension this year with a competition between the best French companies. Four dazzling shows are planned:
- 13 February in Courchevel 1850
- 20 February at Courchevel Moriond

- 6 March in Courchevel 1850
On 7 March, the public will be able to vote for the overall winner, who will have the honour of setting off the fireworks for New Year's Eve 2026.
An explosive finale with Fatal Bazooka & Friends
To round off the festivities in style, Courchevel will welcome Fatal Bazooka & Friends on 10 March, after the last Millet Ski Touring of the season. As is tradition, this race will take place in disguise, with over 800 participants expected at the start. Mickaël Youn and his acolytes promise a crazy show where all excesses will be allowed... as long as you don't forget your balaclava!
