This is a unique property with huge potential and a variety of possible uses, located in Courchevel Saint-Bon. It benefits from a prime position on the free ski bus route and is just a few minutes’ drive from Le Praz Courchevel and its télécabine.
Set on a large parcel of land, the property is thoughtfully divided into two separate accommodations, each with its own outdoor space. The five-storey building, with a total surface area of approximately 300m², currently consists of:
Lower level: A 60m² workshop and storage area.
Lower ground floor: A two-bedroom apartment featuring an open-plan living space, a bathroom, a separate WC, a private garden, a garage, and outdoor parking for two cars.
Upper ground floor / First floor: This level serves as the entrance to the upper accommodation, which benefits from its own carport, an electric car charging point, a south-facing terrace, and a garden. The main entrance leads into a hallway, which opens onto a spacious living area featuring an open fireplace, a cozy sitting room, a dining area, a kitchen, and a pantry.
Second floor: This level comprises four double bedrooms, one of which has a shower and basin, along with a separate family bathroom.
Third floor: Located in the eaves, this space is currently used as a gym and an additional spare bedroom.
The roof was renovated in 2024, and the building is well maintained with dual heating options, electric and heat pump
There are stunning views from every level. Rich in history, this village property has served as an old moulin, a butcher’s shop, and a hotel, giving it immense character. With its unique charm and versatility, it offers fantastic potential as a home, rental property, staff accommodation, or a development project.
Saint-Bon is the historic heart of Courchevel and the original village from which the resort developed. Nestled at an altitude of around 1,100m, it offers an authentic Alpine atmosphere with traditional chalets, a charming village square, and year-round community life. Unlike the higher-altitude resorts, Saint-Bon remains active outside the ski season, making it an attractive location for both permanent residents and those seeking a quieter mountain retreat.
Access to Courchevel & the Three Valleys
Saint-Bon is well connected to the rest of Courchevel and the vast Three Valleys ski area, the largest linked ski domain in the world. A free ski bus provides regular transport to Le Praz (Courchevel 1300) in just a few minutes, where the Le Praz gondola offers direct access to Courchevel 1850. From here, skiers and snowboarders can explore over 600km of pistes across Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, and beyond.
Future Developments – Bozel Lift for the 2030 Winter Olympics
A significant infrastructure project is planned to further enhance access to Courchevel and the Three Valleys. A new ski lift from Bozel is expected to be operational by 2030, aligning with the Winter Olympic Games scheduled to be held in the region. This lift will provide a direct connection from the valley floor to the ski area, reducing reliance on road access and increasing property desirability in surrounding villages, including Saint-Bon.
This combination of historical charm, excellent connectivity, and future development potential makes Saint-Bon a prime location for investment, whether for residential living, rental income, or long-term growth.

A beautiful place all year with highly defined seasons and quiet and tranquil out of the ski season when the crowds have gone home, and then suddenly once again each winter the mountains of the Three Valleys come alive with people enjoying this vast ski area... The largest linked skiing in the world.The Three Valleys ski domain provides more than 600km of runs and probably the same again off-piste. In fact it should now be called the Four Valleys with the link into Orelle (Maurienne Valley) which can be accessed by ski from Val Thorens. This has also opened up some extraordinary off-piste runs. The Three Valleys provides direct links between the ski resorts of St Martin de Belleville, Les Menuires, Val Thorens, Méribel, Mottaret, La Tania, Brides les Bains and the four Courchevel resorts, la Praz, 1550, 1650 and the world famous 1850 - and now Orelle, in the fourth valley - all under one ski pass offering on-piste skiing from 1300m all the way up to 3200m. As these figures show the Three Valleys ski area offers huge altitude differences favouring long run skiing.It has an ultra efficient, state of the art ski lift system, quality piste preparation and a dense artificial snow making system (1920 snow cannons) complementing the excellent natural snow cover. However, if you are not a fan of downhill skiing or like some variety during your stay then you can also roam the domain at your leisure on foot, hiking along the marked trails, or using the pedestrian ski lift passes. Many trails have been created especially to enjoy the increasingly popular snowshoeing sport and to discover the valleys from a new perspective: flora, wildlife, monuments, and spectacular scenery. There are also many cross-country skiing tracks that are prepared and maintained each day. These allow you to take in the breathtaking scenery and provide the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the mountains away from the pistes.An interesting and wonderful area all year round, there is much more here than the snow sports.
Le Praz is a charming ski resort based around a pretty, traditional mountain village. Even as the resort grows the centre remains full of character with narrow streets and attractive old buildings and in the main the new developments have been done with taste in the traditional materials of wood and stone. It has a small lake as its focus next to which the two ski lifts are situated.
It is a very popular resort due to its authentic, welcoming feel with the small centre providing a daily meeting point for regulars so new arrivals can quickly settle in and get to know who’s who and what’s where. Its prices compare very favourably to the more expensive resorts higher up the valley, and it offers enough to keep most members of a group happy. It welcomes a wide range of visitors; families, those with a basic budget, and a wealthier clientele who don’t subscribe to the glitz of 1850.
It has a life of its own throughout the year although it is very quiet out of season with just a shop, bar and restaurant remaining open. In the main summer season, July and August, it is also fully open and the winter season usually runs from mid December to the end of April.
The lake, frozen in winter, makes a stunning backdrop for the huge fireworks competition held here each year along with many music festivals both summer and winter. At the back of the lake is a huge ski jump which is used on the national and international competition circuit which along with walking, horse riding, parapointing, painting, golf, flying, climbing and many other superb mountain activities brings life beyond skiing to this village.
Le Praz boasts a good selection of lively bars, mouth-watering creperies and fine restaurants including "La Table de Mon Grand-Père" in Hotel Les Peupliers - a favourite treat of mine. It has a good standard of accommodation with a mix of hotels, apartments and chalets.
It is situated at the foot of the Courchevel ski area and is also known as the ski resort of Courchevel 1300. The Courchevel ski area links in to the massive 3 Valleys ski area. From the foot of the Gondola lift you are 2 lifts away from either Méribel or Courchevel 1850. So for skiing Le Praz is excellently situated with the two télécabine lifts, the Praz and Foret running from the centre. These can become hectic at peak weeks but locals and seasonnaires (winter workers) know it’s just a matter of timing your departure.
The Praz télécabine lift takes you directly into the centre of Courchevel 1850. The Foret télécabine lift takes you up towards the summit of "La Loze" at 2196m, giving easy access to the wonderful skiing of Courchevel and La Tania or the Meribel valley. Skiing back to Le Praz is a breathtaking experience in itself; tree lined pistes, some of the prettiest in the three valleys, lead you to the village. The jockey’s black run into Le Praz is quite something and a superb challenge to those who like to ski a bit closer to the edge. But don’t worry there are red runs too or the option to come down in the lift or free ski buses which run non-stop throughout the day.
The traditionally good snow, north facing slopes and extensive network of snow cannons enable you to ski back to the village throughout the season, but regardless just in case the pistes get a little scratchy you can always catch the bubble down.
