What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The elegant chalet exemplifies traditional Savoyard style; it’s built of stone and timber inside and out, with slanted ceilings, large bay windows, and open fireplaces.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Courchevel 1850's village centre is a short walk away, and the Dou du Midi run connects straight into Les Trois Vallées.
The rooms
Bedrooms have slanted timber ceilings and marble bathrooms, and larger suites add their own fireplaces.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The baths
Kneipp hot and cold baths aid recovery, and the thermal circuit includes a hammam and sauna.
At the table
ZIA serves Italian dishes beside the piste, and The Negroni Club mixes aperitivos into the evening.
How it began
Courchevel pioneer Jean Cattelin founded the chalet in 1980, and a four-metre red chair sculpture greets arrivals outside.
