What to Do in Courchevel Besides Skiing This Spring 2026
Courchevel, the glamorous heart of the French Alps, isn’t just about hitting the slopes — especially as spring arrives and the season winds down until April 19, 2026. With warmer days creeping in, the resort transforms into a hub for cultural, artistic, and leisurely pursuits that let you soak up the alpine vibe without strapping on skis. From immersive art installations to poetic workshops and festive fireworks, here is a curated guide to non-skiing activities in March and April 2026. This is perfect for relaxing après-style or exploring the creative side of this world-class destination.
Immerse Yourself in Art and Exhibitions
Spring in Courchevel shines with outdoor and interactive art experiences that blend seamlessly with the mountain scenery. We have prepared a schedule of the main cultural events this season.
| L’Art au Sommet Exhibition (March 13 – April 19) |
This open-air showcase features works by artists like Andrea Roggi and Bruno Catalano, with sculptures dotted across the slopes and villages. Think giant pieces you can "ski" between, but no actual skiing required. It is a poetic fusion of nature and creativity, ideal for a leisurely stroll or photo ops. |
| Photo & Poetry Competition – Spring Poets 2026 (March 13 – 21) |
Held in Courchevel Le Praz. This event invites participants to capture the essence of spring through lenses and verses, offering prizes and great community vibes. |
| VIBRATO Poetic Workshops (March 13 – April 3) |
A playful and interactive exhibition offering workshops that encourage creativity in a fun, alpine setting. |
Catch Festivals and Live Performances
The transition to spring brings lively festivals that celebrate music, food, and local culture. Mid-March kicks off the Spring Ski Festival, lasting two weeks with a focus on non-ski elements. You can enjoy live music performances, gourmet tastings of regional Savoyard cuisine, and relaxed gatherings in the villages. It is a great way to mingle with locals and visitors while enjoying the milder weather.

Expect concerts on the slopes during the day, followed by artistic performances and more music in the heart of Courchevel 1850 after dark. Perfect for an evening out without any athletic exertion.
