Mairie de Courchevel

What Mairie de Courchevel does

Mairie de Courchevel is the municipal government (commune) of Courchevel, a premium alpine ski resort in the Savoie department of the French Alps, formed on June 23, 2016 through the merger of the former communes of Saint-Bon and La Perrière. The commune administers six villages — Courchevel 1850, Moriond, Village, Le Praz, La Tania, and Saint-Bon — situated between 1,740m and 2,738m altitude within Les 3 Vallées, the world's largest ski area, and adjacent to Vanoise National Park. It delivers administrative, transportation, cultural, recreational, and environmental services to permanent residents, seasonal workers, tourists, and second-home property owners. Governance is provided by elected municipal councilors led by Mayor Philippe Mugnier, with Elodie Termier serving as Deputy Mayor for Sustainable Development.

The commune operates a portfolio of public-service businesses and digital infrastructure. Core operating units include Courchevel Parc Auto (a municipal régie managing 14 covered parking structures with approximately 2,600 spaces and EV charging stations), the Médiathèque de Courchevel at the Alpinium (public library with a ludothèque of 350+ games, 50+ video games, a Cr\u00e9a\u2019Courch creative workshop, and the Micro-Folie digital museum with 5,500+ artworks launched in July 2025), the Altiport Michel-Ziegler (mountain airport for helicopters and private aircraft, ACA Level 2 certified), the Tremplins de saut (Olympic ski jumping facility), and the Patinoire (ice rink). Digital infrastructure is built on a TYPO3 municipal website, the G.N.A.U. electronic urban planning portal, real-time parking reservation and availability systems, an online library catalog (bibenligne.fr) with e-medi@s resources, the Illiwap municipal notification app, and a Mobility app for shuttle information.

Revenue is generated through a mix of local taxation (taxe foncière, taxe d\u2019habitation where applicable, taxe de séjour), user fees (parking season subscriptions priced at €460–€1,020, library memberships at €10/year for adults and free for minors, altiport landing and helicopter fees, EV charging fees), state allocations (Dotation Globale de Fonctionnement), and public procurement contracts. The commune has no private shareholders. Recent strategic emphasis has been on digital modernization, sustainable development (Station Verte label since 2017, ACA Level 2 since 2022), and family-friendly tourism positioning (Famille Plus label maintained continuously since 2010), supported by partnerships with ANMSM, ADEME, La Villette, and a sister-city relationship with Park City, Utah.
