Moving down the hill, Courchevel 1650 (Moriond) and Courchevel 1550 (Village). These areas have a more relaxed atmosphere compared to 1850, making them perfect for families and those seeking a quieter environment.

About me

Please let me introduce myself. My name is Natalie Beattie. I’m a dynamic, motivated and passionate individual with a rich and diverse background. I was born in Scotland and lived there until the age of 8. During this early period of my life, I spent summers in Scotland and winters in Courchevel where my parents have a ski business. We all moved to France at the age of eight along with my elder sister and younger brother. Growing up in the French Alps was pretty amazing and I have never lost my love of the mountains or take it for granted. Skiing was my passion from an early age and I skied with the local ski team from age five. Without sounded boastful I did quite well and competed internationally for four years on the British ski team. I also represented the UK at the Junior Winter Olympics. They were fantastic experiences. The discipline and training both on and of the slopes gave me a drive to study in business, I studied for an MBA in Geneva. This was a challenging and rewarding course. This academic journey equipped me with a robust foundation in business and management, paving the way for my professional endeavours. I spent three years working in real estate with Barnes in Megève, where I had the opportunity to help clients find their dream homes in one of the most sought-after regions. Today, I combine my love for the mountains and my professional expertise by working as a ski instructor and a real estate professional with Leggett. Whether I am guiding clients down the slopes or helping them navigate the property market, I bring enthusiasm, expertise, and a personal touch to everything I do. In both my personal and professional life, I am driven by a passion for excellence and a genuine desire to make a positive impact.
