With its remarkable geological features, Courchevel’s iconic peak has an amazing landscape and wonderful panoramic views. Be careful when approaching the big ravines.
La dent du Villard is characterised by a wide variety of natural habitats showcasing every type of geological feature: forests, ericaceous moorland, willow thickets, Alpine and subalpine meadows, tall grass vegetation, cliffs and screes. The sector’s distinct characteristics come from its ancient growth of mountain pines in gypsum (Natura 2000 listed).
