Traveller notes on Courchevel in August
Notes from nearby Annecy (68 km away)
Courchevel doesn't have its own notes for August yet — these are about Annecy, close enough to share the season.
Annecy's forum calls August normally hot and sunny, low-to-high 20s°C, though some years bring genuinely wet stretches. Regulars flag Alpine afternoon thunderstorms as a real possibility on the hottest days, and note evenings by the lake stay fresher thanks to a regular breeze — the lake itself is usually warm enough for a comfortable swim by early August.
Other months in Courchevel
Courchevel's forum calls January generally the best month overall — cold enough for reliable snow, outside the main school-holiday crush, with noticeably lower prices and emptier slopes than February. Regulars flag snow depth as genuinely variable year to year even in January, so checking current conditions and knowing the nearest glacier lift as a backup is worthwhile.
