Cheval Blanc Courchevel – French Alps

Jewel of the French Alps, Courchevel 1850 is one of the most prized ski stations. The ideal location provides access to the largest ski domain in the world, the Trois Vallées, which spans to cover nearly 600 kilometres of slopes.

Since its creation, Cheval Blanc Courchevel – French Alps, France has established itself as an exceptional retreat at the summit, flirting with the snowy peaks. Space, pleasure and comfort come together beyond the mountain tops.

A crossroad of altitudes, not far from Mont Blanc, Courchevel is rewarded with an exceptional quality of snow. The Trois Vallées domain offers a multitude of peaks, paths and trails to delight skiers of every level.

At the heart of the French Alps in the prestigious Jardin Alpin, Cheval Blanc Courchevel is an inviting and intimate Maison to surrender oneself and gather with others. In a truly contemporary spirit, a high-altitude stay is reinterpreted with boldness and modernity.

Revisiting the preconceived notions of mountain design with bold colours and a collection of original works of art, architects from Atelier COS and Sybille de Margerie highlight the unique personality of each space throughout the Maison.

The sophistication and sensuality of precious materials – cashmere, fur, leather – play softly with the elegant contrasts of steel, bronze and brushed brass. This reflects Cheval Blanc’s vision of hospitality: made to measure.

ACCOMMODATION

The thirty-six rooms and suites of Cheval Blanc Courchevel offer the comfort of a residence crafted with a careful eye for detail.

Conceived in a warm and contemporary spirit, each room embodies a unique personality. For Cheval Blanc Courchevel, architect Sybille de Margerie worked with a bold colour palette in five inviting and enveloping pairings.

Combining elegance, charm and singularity, the suites reveal a cosy universe punctuated by precious materials and bespoke furniture.

Each suite features a unique element of décor that highlights their individuality. A floatation bath that instills a sense of weightlessness, an authentic sauna to rejuvenate the body after a day out on the slopes, and a vast living area to enjoy a dinner in complete intimacy each punctuate a stay filled with remarkable experiences.

Les Trois Vallées, French Alps, France

This is the big one you’ve heard all about: vast, fast and a contender for largest ski area in the world. It’s impossible to tire of all this terrain: depending on how it’s reckoned, there are more than 600km of pistes and 180 lifts linking eight resorts and three parallel valleys. Among these are Val Thorens, Europe’s highest at a heady 2300m; wealthy and ever-so-British Méribel (elevation 1450m), founded by Scotsman Colonel Peter Lindsay in 1938; and playground of the super-rich Courchevel, which stretches over three purpose-built resorts at 1550m, 1650m and 1850m and is a fave of the Moët-at-five brigade and ultra-wealthy Russians. In between are a number of lesser-known Alpine villages – Le Praz (Courchevel-Le Praz; 1300m), St-Martin de Belleville (1450m) and très anglais La Tania (1400m); all are linked by speedy lifts to higher-elevation slopes.
