The women's slalom event comes to Courchevel
The first event to be held in Courchevel will be the women's slalom, which you can watch live from the Émile-Allais stadium on 16 December 2025. For several years now, the iconic stadium has been hosting a number of major competitions and events, including the women's Alpine Skiing World Cup events.
