Pristine well groomed slopes, elegant alpine villages, and effortless ski-in/ski-out, well that is Courchevel, the jewel of the Trois Vallées ski area in France.

The latest episode of the Where to Ski podcast features our talk with world freeride champion and guide Manu Gaidet, who has called these mountains home for over 25 years. We talk big runs, easy runs, his ski brand and how to enjoy the towns.
