Arrive
By air, above the Tarentaise
The helicopter from Geneva, Lyon or Chambéry to the altiport, luggage and car coordinated on arrival; the road, when the sky will not allow it.

Where to stay
Ski-in chalets, the palaces of the Jardin Alpin
In Courchevel 1850, an address is chosen first by its relation to the slopes. The Jardin Alpin and Bellecôte hold the great private chalets, with chef, butler, chauffeur, spa and ski room; they are let by the week, usually Saturday to Saturday in high season. We also offer the great hotel houses — Cheval Blanc Courchevel and Les Airelles in the Jardin Alpin, L'Apogée Courchevel above them, Le K2 Palace and its chalets. Moriond, Le Praz or La Tania offer, for those who prefer it, a more village mountain a few minutes away.
The table
Three stars at altitude, fondue on the piste
Courchevel is among the most gourmand resorts in the Alps. Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc, Yannick Alléno's table, three stars in the 2026 Michelin Guide; Sylvestre Wahid – Les Grandes Alpes, two stars; Le Chabichou, one star, under Stéphane Buron. At midday, the Chalet de Pierres on the Verdons piste remains the Savoyard lunch people remember. We can often secure a table on the busiest evenings — and we tell you when it cannot be done.
On the slopes
An instructor at the door, the 3 Vallées ahead
From Courchevel 1850, the runs reach Méribel and then Val Thorens without taking off your skis: the 3 Vallées fit into a single day, for those who wish. We book a private instructor who knows the morning snow and the quiet slopes, equipment fitted and delivered to the chalet, a locker at the foot of the lifts. For children, lessons at their own pace; for strong skiers, a high-mountain guide when off-piste is open and safe.
Après-ski & nights
Tea by the fire, Les Caves at night
In Courchevel, après-ski is hushed: a palace spa in the late afternoon, a salon by the fire, a quiet dinner at the chalet prepared by your chef. For those who carry on, Les Caves, in the heart of Courchevel 1850, remains the resort's night; a table there is requested ahead on February Saturdays and over the festive season. We book, prepare the welcome and arrange the ride back to the chalet.
Arrivals & access
The altiport, the helicopter, the Tarentaise road
Courchevel has its own altiport, above two thousand metres: a short, steeply sloping runway with no instrument approach, open to small aircraft and to pilots qualified for this field; landings are made by day, in clear weather. Jets land at Chambéry, Geneva or Lyon; the helicopter then reaches the resort in twenty-five to forty minutes, the car in an hour and a half to three hours depending on the airport and the snow. We choose the route with you, close to the day.
FAQ
Courchevel — frequently asked
The winter season usually runs from early December to mid-April, depending on the snow. The Christmas and New Year fortnight and the February holidays are the most requested weeks: chalets and tables are booked months ahead. January and March often bring fine snow and a calmer resort. Summer is quieter, suited to walking, the lakes and the Vanoise; not every house reopens.
Not a jet. Courchevel's altiport takes only small propeller aircraft and helicopters, flown by crews qualified for this field, by day and in clear weather. Jets land at Chambéry, Geneva or Lyon; a helicopter or a suitable aircraft flies the last leg. We confirm the field's opening and conditions at planning.
Yes. Ski-in, ski-out chalets in the Jardin Alpin and Bellecôte, with chef, butler, chauffeur, spa and ski room. In high season they are mostly let by the week; the earlier the request, the wider the choice.
Yes. We request tables at Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc, at Sylvestre Wahid – Les Grandes Alpes and at Le Chabichou, including on much-requested dates. Depending on the house, a table can be arranged at short notice; over the festive season and in February, it is best to write to us early.
Yes. A private instructor by the day or the week, lessons suited to children, a high-mountain guide for off-piste when conditions allow, equipment fitted and delivered to the chalet. The most requested instructors are booked from the autumn for the festive season and February.
It depends on where you set off from and on the weather. The helicopter from Chambéry, Geneva or Lyon reaches the resort in twenty-five to forty minutes; the road takes an hour and a half to three hours, longer on February Saturdays. The train to Moûtiers, then a car, remains an option. We decide close to the day.
Walk to the Merlet lakes or along the edge of the Vanoise, swim at Aquamotion, lunch on a terrace in Le Praz, breathe the mountain air far from the summer heat. The resort is calmer than in winter and some of the great houses are closed; we tell you which are open on your dates.
