There’s always a good chance you will spot a familiar face from glossy magazines or the TV in Courchevel 1850.
“Wasn’t that (insert name of billionaire socialite) in the restaurant?” and “I’m sure I’ve just seen (insert name of famous rock star) in the cable car” are regularly whispered here. At the height of the ski season, private jets and helicopters buzz in and out of the Altiport, stoking up the excitement.
The designer labels, Michelin starred restaurants and luxury ski chalets in Courchevel 1850 attract a glamorous crowd. As a general guide to Courchevel, you can expect gourmet cuisine, Champagne-fuelled nightlife and the world’s largest ski area. No wonder it is rated among the top destinations in the world.
Anyone who’s anyone takes up residence in one of the stunning luxury ski chalets in Courchevel which compete with each other to be the best. One of the newest contenders is Chalet Edelweiss a seven storey palace beside the Bellecote piste. Who can resist the ski in, ski out location, the vast and sumptuous interior and the world class level of service?
With eight bedrooms there is plenty of room for your friends, family and household staff, whilst the chalet chefs, butlers and maids have their own private quarters and separate entrance. Just chill out in the full-scale spa with its pool and gym, or the private bar and nightclub.
Meanwhile, at the bijoux end of the scale, there’s Chalet White Pearl. Sleeping up to eight, this is one of the most elegant luxury ski chalets in Courchevel. Flexible booking means that you can stay at times to suit you, for a minimum of two nights. Beauty treatments and massages can be arranged in the treatment room, steam room and Jacuzzi. The housekeeper and manager look after you expertly, and a private chef is available on request.
Some chalets offer the impeccable service of a luxury hotel whilst still being independent and self-contained. The delectable Chalet Karakoram, for example, is managed by the renowned K2 Hotel and is one of the finest luxury ski chalets in Courchevel. You can ski into and out of your private retreat, be pampered by a dedicated chef, butler and housekeeper, and call on a wide range of extra services from chauffeuring to childcare. You’d better book soon though as the best luxury ski chalets in Courchevel get snapped up early.
