Events for all the family <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adrenalin and sports competitions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Challenge-seekers will be able to test their endurance at the G\u00e9n\u00e9'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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another highlight: the Troph\u00e9e 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magical torchlight descents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectacular shows and concerts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n
