Jewel-toned alpine chalet
Skiers glide directly from the slopes into warm fireside lounges, mingling over hot chocolate as live piano begins in the evening.
“Housed within a chalet-shaped volume that uses plenty of wood panelling, Mahdavi's guest accommodation achieves a sense of homeliness…”

L’Apogee Courchevel makes no bones about its purpose: a getaway for experienced skiers and other lovers of alpine beauty.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set at the highest point of Jardin Alpin, the property provides direct ski-in and ski-out access across Les Trois Vallées.
The rooms
Bedrooms pair jewel tones with tailored wool plaids and leather finishes, opening onto private balconies that face snow-dusted practice slopes.
The pool and banya
Bring a swimsuit.
A blue-mosaic indoor swimming pool sits beside deep whirlpool baths, a traditional banya, and a salt crystal sauna.
The spa
Five subterranean treatment suites offer Bamford massage rituals alongside skincare treatments by La Prairie.
Restaurant
Beefbar Courchevel
Prime cuts of Wagyu and Black Angus steak headline dinner, accompanied by live music and evening DJ sets.
At the table
Le Bar de L'Apogée serves fireside cocktails and afternoon crêpes, and Le Comptoir prepares classic French dishes.
How it began
Constructed in 2013 at the crest of Jardin Alpin, the alpine retreat occupies the historic site of an Olympic ski jump.
