🎄 New Year’s Eve in Courchevel 1850: Open-Air Party, Fireworks & Programme 2025/2026
Courchevel 1850 is preparing to welcome the 2025/2026 winter season with unparalleled style. The pinnacle of the festivities is traditionally New Year’s Eve at the Front de Neige — the epicenter where the mountains meet the energy of La Folie Douce and the magic of midnight fireworks. Whether you are planning a cozy evening in your private chalet or wish to join the most prestigious alpine dance floor, the official resort programme offers the perfect scenario for every guest.
Main Event: New Year’s Eve at Front de Neige
On December 31, 2025, the base of the main slopes transforms into a grand open-air club. This official resort event is open to all guests and residents, offering the perfect complement to hotel and chalet festivities.
- Date: Wednesday, December 31, 2025
- Time: 9:30 PM – 1:15 AM
- Location: Front de Neige, Courchevel 1850 (at the base of the main lifts)
Musical Programme:
9:30 PM – DJ Yann Muller: The evening opens with a set from one of the most sought-after DJs, setting a dynamic club atmosphere.
Before Midnight – La Folie Douce: The legendary group brings their world-famous après-ski energy to the snow. Their live performance, featuring vocals and spectacular entertainment, is a Courchevel hallmark.
After the Fireworks: The celebration under the stars continues until 1:15 AM with dancing on the snow and a spectacular light show.
Expert Tip: Despite the heat of the dance floor, mountain temperatures can drop to -10°C. We recommend choosing layered clothing and warm footwear to enjoy the outdoor festivities comfortably.
Midnight Magic: The Grand Fireworks Display
At the stroke of midnight, the sky above Courchevel 1850 will light up with a festive fireworks display. This is the highlight of the evening, best viewed directly from the Front de Neige or from the private terraces of luxury hotels like La Sivoliere, which offer a magnificent view over the valley.
