Consultant's view

Alaa's take on Courchevel

“The Three Valleys sell in weeks, not nights. Courchevel and Méribel trade on catered chalets and a wealthy international crowd, while Val Thorens and Les Menuires sell to younger groups and families who want altitude and value. Christmas, New Year and the February holiday weeks decide the season. I price each winter week by its holiday mix and open bookings early, because the best chalets are chosen a long way out.”

How Alaa would price a property in Courchevel

The moves Alaa makes first when a hotel or host in Courchevel books a session, and the errors he corrects most often. Every one is set up inside your own pricing tool, so it keeps working after the call.

Alaa's pricing playbook for Courchevel

  1. 1

    Price each Saturday-to-Saturday week on its own, with Christmas, New Year and February at the top.

  2. 2

    Track the three French school-holiday zones and British half-term to see which February weeks overlap.

  3. 3

    Price Courchevel 1850 and Méribel chalets apart from Val Thorens and Les Menuires apartments.

  4. 4

    Use early-booking rates to fill January weeks instead of late discounts.

  5. 5

    Allow short stays only in early December and late April.

Mistakes Alaa fixes most in Courchevel

  • Courchevel and Les Menuires priced against the same comps.
  • Taxe de séjour missing from the weekly total guests compare.

Alaa's pricing calendar

How I price Courchevel through the year

Revenue management consultant in Courchevel, Méribel & the Three Valleys, France
  1. Early to mid DecemberShoulder

    The lifts open and keen skiers test the snow. I accept shorter stays and corporate group trips here, then lock the calendar to full weeks once the run-up to Christmas begins.

  2. Christmas and New YearPeak

    Families book these two weeks earliest and pay the most. I set my highest rates and longest minimum stays here, and I never move them down in autumn just because pace looks slow.

  3. JanuaryHigh

    Snow is often at its best and slopes are quieter, so I sell value to adult groups and ski clubs with sensible rates, while keeping the weekend before February firm.

  4. February holidaysPeak

    French zones, Belgian, Dutch and British half-terms stack up across four weeks. I give the week with the most overlap the top rate and price the edges a step lower.

  5. March to mid AprilHigh

    Spring sun and long days sell well, especially at Val Thorens altitude. Easter gets its own band, and I only consider cuts for the very last week of the season.

  6. SummerLow

    Many chalets stay closed, but those that open around Méribel and Val Thorens can sell cycling and hiking weeks. I price for activity guests, not as a ski-style premium.

Where I price Courchevel differently

Courchevel 1850
The most expensive address in the valleys, with the altiport and luxury chalets. I price by the week, set long lead times and rarely accept anything shorter in the high season.
Méribel and Mottaret
Central in the ski area and strongly British. Chalet weeks sell through agencies, so I compare direct rates with agency pricing before setting any public number.
Val Thorens and Les Menuires
High-altitude apartments for younger groups and families. I price beds and ski access rather than luxury, and I keep late-season dates firmer than lower resorts.

What I check first in a Courchevel audit

  1. 1Whether the property is classified as a meublé de tourisme and how the taxe de séjour is calculated, collected and shown in the weekly total on each channel and agency contract.
  2. 2The ski access claim in the listing. I test how far it really is to the nearest lift or piste, because guests paying for ski-in ski-out will not forgive a walk with boots.
  3. 3What the chalet service includes. Catered, self-catered and hotel-style chalets sell to different guests, and a listing that leaves the menu, staff and transfers vague sells below its level.

FAQ

Questions Courchevel owners ask Alaa

Which weeks are hardest to fill in the Three Valleys?

Early January and the weeks just before the February holidays. Alaa prices them for value and aims them at adult groups.

Should I accept short stays in peak weeks?

Rarely. Alaa keeps Saturday-to-Saturday weeks in peak and opens short stays only at the edges of the season.

Should I let my Three Valleys chalet through an agency or myself?

Agencies bring trust, service and reach, especially for catered chalets and overseas families. Direct and online channels can work for apartments and repeat guests. I usually recommend a mix: agency weeks for the hardest guests to reach, direct for the weeks you can sell yourself, all with rules that stop the two from undercutting each other.

Is summer worth opening in the Three Valleys?

It can be for a property in Méribel or Val Thorens with good outdoor space and easy access to cycling and walking. It will not earn like winter, so I keep costs low, price by the week or long weekend, and make sure summer guests do not block any maintenance before the ski season.
