Stepped alpine citadel
Stepped along the Cospillot slope, timber chalets blend Savoyard woodwork with Tibetan detailing and direct ski-in, ski-out access.
“But you'd be forgiven for rarely leaving the K2, as this ‘village-as-hotel’ is essentially a whole world unto itself.”
Where it shines
Exceptional
Dedicated chalet butlers, private chefs, champagne on arrival, and balconies gazing over the Dent du Villard.
Remarkable
A circular panoramic indoor pool overlooking the peaks, hot and cold plunge baths, hammam, and Valmont treatments.
Remarkable
Direct ski lift access into Les Trois Vallées, ski concierges, a private cinema, and teen recording studio.
What they say
Three Michelin Keys
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
A sleek private chalet overlooking the French Alps. A lift providing direct entry to the largest connected ski resort in the world.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched in Courchevel 1850, the resort gives skiers direct lift access to hundreds of linked slopes across Les Trois Vallées.
The rooms
Rooms frame the Dent du Villard with private balconies and crimson fabrics, while multi-level chalets add private indoor pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The circular indoor pool sits under soaring timber trusses, looking out through panoramic glass onto the snowy mountain slopes.
The spa
Treatment suites use Swiss Valmont cosmetics for restorative skincare rituals across five timber-lined therapy rooms.
Baths and gym
Stone plunge baths look out over the peaks, and the fitness room lines treadmills against an illuminated stone wall.
Restaurant
Le Sarkara
Chef Sébastien Vauxion serves two-Michelin-starred tasting menus rooted in pastry gastronomy beside a roaring stone fireplace.
At the table
Evenings bring Peruvian charcoal grilling at L'Altiplano, fondue at Le Bottleneck, and cocktails around the fire at Le 8611.
How it began
Opened in 2011, the property took its name and aesthetic from the Himalayan peak K2, uniting Savoyard timberwork with Tibetan craft.
