Courchevel 1850
Courchevel 1850, from door to piste.
An Alpine village where three deeply different hotels make a ski holiday feel seamless: a storybook palace, an Aman retreat and a modern Cheval Blanc maison.
Courchevel 1850 sits high in Les Trois Vallées, with direct access to a vast connected ski area. The village is compact enough to move between slopes, shops and restaurants, though the hotel’s position on the piste makes a real difference to each day.
Les Airelles brings a richly decorated palace and ski service in the Jardin Alpin. Aman Le Mélézin is quieter on the Bellecôte piste. Cheval Blanc Courchevel pairs contemporary Alpine rooms with the maison’s own dining and spa. All three deserve the trip; the right one depends on how much privacy or ceremony you want after skiing.
