In summer, Courchevel reveals an entirely different face. The slopes give way to trails, the high pastures burst into wildflower, and the summits become a vast playground for exploration, where nature, sport and wide-open spaces are experienced differently.
From Bârma, every day is an invitation to set off and discover the mountains, at whatever pace you please.
In summer, Courchevel is discovered step by step. Over 270 kilometres of marked trails wind through forests, high pastures, mountain lakes and exceptional viewpoints. More than 32 itineraries cater to families and seasoned hikers alike, with many walks accessible directly from La Tania.
The Vanoise National Park, the natural site of La Rosière, Lac du Praz, the Merlet lakes and Lac des Creux reveal a new face of the mountains every day. Marmots, ibex, Alpine flowers, mountain streams and refuges bring the trails to life in a preserved environment where nature reigns.
For those who wish to go further, mountain leaders offer themed hikes, sunrise outings, naturalist walks and discoveries of Alpine flora.
In Courchevel, summer is also an invitation to slow down. A swim in Lac du Praz, a lakeside picnic, Nordic walking in the forest, a massage at the Susanne Kaufmann spa, a Pilates or yoga session facing the peaks, or an evening in a mountain refuge offer another reading of the mountains.
The villages, the markets, guided tours of Savoyard heritage and encounters with local artisans extend this gentler discovery of the land — where you take the time to look, to listen and to breathe.
Courchevel is one of the most complete outdoor destinations in the Alps.
The lifts stay open all summer, providing easy access to the finest hiking, mountain-bike, e-MTB and road-cycling routes. Cyclists can take on the legendary Col de la Loze, while mountain bikers enjoy downhill, enduro and cross-country trails s
uited to every level.
Climbing, via ferrata, trail running, golf, tennis, padel, horse riding, fishing and stand-up paddleboarding round out a sporting offer that lets you experience the mountains in all their forms.
In Courchevel, the finest views are earned… or discovered from the skies.
By tandem paraglider, hot-air balloon at sunrise, helicopter or plane, the Alps unveil a breathtaking spectacle over Mont Blanc, the Vanoise glaciers and the surrounding valleys.
On the ground, canyoning, rafting, via ferrata and climbing deliver their share of thrills in an exceptional natural setting. So many experiences that shift your perspective and reveal the mountains from an entirely different angle.
Every stay is unique. The Bârma concierge team designs a personalised programme with you, at your own pace. Activities, guides, transfers, insider recommendations or exclusive experiences: every detail is designed for a serene stay.
Private hikes, wildlife watching at dusk, Alpine flora, a sunrise hot-air balloon flight, dinner in a mountain refuge or guided sporting activities… Bârma favours local partners who share its own standards of authenticity.
More than a series of activities, Bârma creates experiences that build lasting memories and invite you to discover the mountains with curiosity and wonder.
