The Russia house

Following the ever growing influx of Russians to Courchevel. The Russian Federation has proposed opening a consulate in 1850 making it only the third such embassy in France (Paris and Marseille). This is hoped to solved many of the cultural and language problems which hamper many of the visitors. Several large chalets have been short listed including the redevelopement of the old ISBA hotel. As with all embassies and consulates the land under the building will officially be part of the Russian federation. To strengthen the links between these two companies Courchevel is also twinning itself with Sochi, the sight of the next winter olympics.

3 Valley seasonnaire pass

Until recently and probably due to the inability of the three lift companies that service the 3 valleys to reach an agreement, workers have only been able to get a season ski pass for their respective valleys. As of next year this will change. Instead of 1069€ the 3 valley pass will cost 650€ for workers.
