Jardin Alpin, Courchevel 1850
Cheval Blanc Courchevel
Setting
The house sits in the Jardin Alpin, the quietest and most expensive quarter of Courchevel 1850, among snow-covered firs and yet right on the piste. Its ski-in/ski-out access leads straight into Les Trois Vallées, the largest linked ski area in the world. The Courchevel altiport is 2.9 kilometres away, around seven minutes by transfer.
The house & its design
Cheval Blanc Courchevel opened in 2006 as the first house of the brand and belongs to the LVMH group; today it holds the French Palace distinction. The interiors are by Sybille de Margerie: warm colours, leather, cashmere and a great deal of wood, with contemporary art throughout. From outside it stays a chalet, tucked in among the trees.
Rooms & suites
The house has just 36 rooms and suites, which keeps the atmosphere very private. All have generous living areas and a balcony or terrace of their own with mountain views. This trip is booked in the Superior double room; junior suites and suites are bookable for a supplement. For maximum privacy there is also a free-standing chalet and a top-floor apartment with its own lift.
Dining
Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc is the culinary flagship: French haute cuisine under Yannick Alléno, holding three Michelin stars. Le Triptyque is the contemporary brasserie for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Alongside them are Le Bar, with cocktails and live music in the evening, and the Cigar Lounge.
Spa & service
The Cheval Blanc Spa works exclusively with Guerlain and offers treatments, a large indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna and a fitness centre. Then there is the house's alpine service: ski boots warmed and waiting in the morning, equipment ready at the piste.
