Chalet Dulcis Casu, Courchevel 1300

Description

Take a New York loft, add a private spa and mountain views, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of the sort of holiday that awaits at Chalet Dulcis Casu. This luxury ski chalet in La Praz (Courchevel 1300) is idyllically located just a snowball’s throw from the village centre and main ski lifts. And for those that are looking for a chalet a little out of the ordinary, it’s a great choice. Industrial-style lighting and fixtures and fittings, vaulted wood ceilings and faux-fur and animal hyde furnishings combine to make you feel you’re in a Manhattan loft apartment. If it weren’t for the stunning mountain views from every window, you might just be convinced!

You really do feel like you’re in your own private hotel here. When you’re not on the slopes you can relax with a massage on site, spend an hour or two steaming away aches and pains in the hammam, or swimming against the tide in the indoor pool. On a crisp evening, there’s nothing like taking your bubbly out into the floodlit internal courtyard and sinking beneath the warm waters of the hot tub.

This is a wonderful ski chalet to share with friends if you’re looking forward to a very upmarket house party. Sit back and let your experienced chef whip you up delicious menus, while you catch up with the rest of your party, relaxing around the suspended fire in the centre of the open-plan living spaces, or gazing out at your fabulous view of the Grand Bec.

Eating

You can really sit back, relax and indulge at Chalet Dulcis Casu.

From your cooked and continental breakfasts served alongside yoghurts, fresh fruit and hot drinks and juices, to your afternoon tea with homemade cakes and biscuits, to your four-course evening meal, everything is on the house. Or chalet, in this case.

Dinners are definitely a highlight here and your chef will be happy to take into consideration any dietary requirements. A selection of paired fine wines are selected to be served alongside dinner and soft drinks and beers and prosecco are available throughout the day.

For those bringing children, your chef can prepare an additional children’s supper on five evenings so that children can eat early and adults enjoy a more leisurely meal later in the evening.

Please note the staff have two days off a week. On one of these evenings, the chef will prepare a homemade oven-ready dish, allowing guests to enjoy a relaxed evening at the chalet. On another evening, guests can explore and sample the local restaurants which the chalet staff will be happy to assist you in making an evening restaurant booking.

Kids

Chalet Dulcis Casu is a great chalet to take new skiers to, being so close to both the centre of town and the slopes, making life much simpler slope-side.

With an indoor swimming pool, as well as an outdoor hot tub, you should find little ones are nicely tired out by the end of the day. A separate TV room will keep them amused (and hopefully quiet!) while you enjoy a bit of adult conversation over afternoon tea or evening aperitifs.

Your private chef is able to do an early kids’ tea on five evenings so that you can relax and really enjoy your dinner post-bedtime.

Nannies and babysitters can be booked on request.
