When your done skiing in Courchevel 1850 then you better entertain yourselves unless you like extortionate prices and a lack of choice, or catch the free bus down hill, the prices drop quicker than a reps salopettes and the bars get better with some live music too. The surroundings are pleasant in 1850 but it feels wrong and contrived, St Anton is very natural and down to earth, so there we have it.
In summary:
Choose St Anton if you can already ski a bit and have some desire to enjoy the music and outdoor bar areas on the slopes and like to enjoy life. Choose courchevel 1850 if you cant find anywhere else to stay in the 3 valleys and are happy to stay at home for the odd evening, there are NO bars on the slopes there ! I dont know what it is like to learn in Courchevel 1850 but somewhere there must be good ski schools. Come on guys we need to nurture the sport. Also a place to enjoy looking at life less so living it.
