Courchevel
in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Teetering above Les Trois Vallées, L’Apogée sits in prime position to take in the surrounding peaks and forests. Renowned interior architects led the design charge, creating chic rooms decked with checkered carpets, wooden window nooks, and velour-covered sofa nooks. Alpine warmth prevails in the in-house restaurants, worth an honourable foodie mention. 

Tucked into Les Brigues, he quieter, more authentic heart of Courchevel, away from the crowds. Eight bedrooms across 680 square metres, slopes less than 100 metres from the door, and a private chef composing whatever the mountain air demands. It wears its luxury lightly: a chalet that feels genuinely lived-in rather than staged. The whole of Les Trois Vallées at your feet, and nowhere you'd rather come back to.

At the start of ski season, Les Trois Vallées is a reliable draw – and Airelles remains one of its most considered addresses. Set directly on the Bellecôte piste in Courchevel 1850, it combines full ski-in, ski-out ease with a highly managed kind of comfort: in-house ski room, multiple restaurants, a large spa, and seriously attentive service. Interiors lean traditional Alpine, but the operation runs with typical brand precision.
