If your idea of a mountain holiday is all about comfort, luxury, and exclusivity, then Courchevel is the resort for you, designed to satisfy all your desires.

When it comes to accommodation, you have the choice between the most prestigious hotels and the most luxurious chalets. In the first category, Courchevel boasts no fewer than five palaces: the K2 Palace, L’Apogée, Les Airelles, Barrière Les Neiges, and Cheval Blanc. Each one will do everything to ensure you have the best stay, offering a unique atmosphere and distinctive vibe.

As for chalets, we can mention Datcha 1850, Coquelicot, and Shemshak. With only six rooms, these chalets provide an intimate, cocoon-like experience that you won’t want to leave. You can even have a chef of your choice come to your chalet to prepare your meals. The menu is entirely tailored to your preferences.

When it’s time to dine, you won’t be disappointed with the Michelin stars on offer in Courchevel: Le Chabichou by Stéphane Buron, Montgomerie, and Sarkara, each boasting two stars in the famous Michelin guide. The unusual Sarkara is a "gastronomic pastry" restaurant, where its creations are simply divine, combining ingredients like celery with clementine, beetroot with grapefruit, or chervil with pear. The results are as surprising as they are delicate and delicious.

Of course, we must mention the 1947 at Cheval Blanc, which reaches the pinnacle with its three stars. Renowned chef Yannick Alléno almost exclusively cooks for you, offering only five tables for an intimate dining experience.

To continue the evening, party lovers can head to Funky Fox or Ski Lodge - La Tania. DJ sets, blind tests, and live concerts will ensure a fantastic night, with camaraderie at the heart of it all.

And if you love shopping, you're in luck, because Courchevel offers a wide range of your favorite luxury brands: Chanel, Moncler, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Fendi, Prada, Gucci, Dior, and many more. It’s as if Paris's famous Avenue Montaigne has been transplanted to the heart of the French Alps.
