Description:

Cheval Blanc Courchevel is an exclusive contemporary haven that works in harmony with its natural surroundings. Designed as a a ‘maison’ in the true sense of the word, this ski-in ski-out chalet is the perfect setting for highly-curated Alpine holidays.

Jewel of the French Alps, Courchevel 1850 is the most exclusive ski destination. Only two hours away from the international airports of Geneva and Lyon, Courchevel 1850 gives access to the “Trois Vallées” – the world’s largest ski domain – with more than 600 km of amazing ski slopes.

Set in the prestigious French Alps, next to the Mont-Blanc (Europe’s highest summit), Courchevel 1850 is located in the world’s largest ski domain. The resort offers outstanding snow quality and a great diversity of ski slopes for beginners as well as experienced skiers. On top of its impressive ski domain, Courchevel 1850 offers many attractions with its slopes restaurants, six Michelin-awarded fine dining restaurants and a diversified range of non-skiing leisure activities. The resort is also known for its festive and glamorous nightlife that contributes to its international appeal.

Designed in a warm and inviting style, Cheval Blanc Courchevel comprises thirty-six rooms and suites including two newly created duplex suites and the Chalet, a truly private residence with direct access to the slopes.

No two rooms are the same – each has its own distinct style using traditional mountain materials such as cashmere, fur, velvet and leather – alongside one-off design pieces. Catering to every guest need and preserving privacy, the suites have incredibly spacious living areas. Each has its own residential feel and distinctive features – a floating bath that creates a sense of weightlessness, a sauna to unwind in after a day on the slopes or a private dining room in which to enjoy an intimate lunch or dinner.

For large families and groups, the Maison can also offer up to seven inter-connecting suites at any one time as well as weelchair accessible accommodations.

The Apartment, an exclusive penthouse hidden away on the top two floors, offers the most spectacular panoramic view of La Saulire, Courchevel’s highest summit.

It offers lavish private living areas as well as a dedicated team that cares after the slightest details. The fourth floor hosts three suites as well as a triple reception room, a dining room, a bar and a private kitchen. On the fifth floor, the master suite comes with its two bathrooms, two separate dressing rooms, a private treatment room and a fitness room. A private elevator directly opens onto a dedicated ski room.

Cheval Blanc re-invigorates the traditional idea of a mountain break with bold modernity. Elegant yet convivial, the Maison is an intimate and inviting haven where impeccable, personalised service evokes an easy going and friendly atmosphere.
