Ski Race Training in Courchevel
World Cup slalom facilities in the heart of the 3 Valleys
World Cup race facilities
Courchevel is quite possibly the best ski-training facility in the world. The Émile-Allais stadium is an immaculately prepared race piste with an incredible quality of snow and a real variety of gradients, which makes it ideal for FIS training. It’s tree-lined, so it stays sheltered and the impact of inclement weather is limited.
The stade hosts the women’s World Cup and stays a dedicated race piste for the whole season, and multiple French World Cup skiers have honed their craft on it. The Ineos clubhouse sits at the foot of the slope, and the whole site is part of Les 3 Vallées, the largest linked ski area in the world.
Not many people get the opportunity to train here, so we feel incredibly fortunate to have Courchevel in our roster of venues.
Occasionally, for variety in training or as a back-up when major events are taking place, we switch our sessions to the fantastic race pistes in Méribel, Mottaret or Les Menuires. We really are spoilt for excellent options across the 3 Valleys.
Why we train here
A genuine World Cup stadium. Train on the Émile-Allais slalom venue, race-ready right through the season.
Exceptional snow, varied pitches. Consistently high snow quality with a range of gradients to work across.
Sheltered and tree-lined. Protection from the worst of the weather, so sessions stay reliable.
A typical training day
Training here is intense, so we tend to run focused morning sessions rather than full days, making the most of the prime snow and keeping the quality of every run high. The Ineos clubhouse at the foot of the piste makes a comfortable base for the group.
