Savoie — Three Valleys

Chalets
in Courchevel

The most expensive address in the Alps, and the only French resort whose altiport lands above the pistes.

The resort

Four villages,
one reputation

Courchevel is not one resort but four, stepped from 1,300 to 1,850 metres and linked to each other. The name evokes 1850, its palaces, its starred tables and its windows, but most of the domain and some of the finest chalets sit below it. The skiing is the Three Valleys; the difference is the address, and it is paid for.

The levels

Where to stay
in Courchevel

Four villages, four price levels, one ski area. The level you choose changes everything: the atmosphere, the access, and the bill.

Courchevel 1850 1,850 m

The top of the Alpine market, without equivalent in France. Palaces, starred tables, boutiques, and the most expensive chalets in the country. Ski-in / ski-out across most of the sector, and the altiport moments away.

Courchevel Village 1,550 m

A step below on price, a few gondola minutes from 1850. More family-minded, quieter, and with equally direct access to the domain.

Courchevel Moriond 1,650 m

The sunniest aspect in the resort and quick access to the Bel Air sector. Markedly less expensive than 1850 at comparable standard.

Le Praz 1,300 m

The original village at the foot of the valley, with its farms and its Olympic ski jumps. The most authentic of the four, and the most affordable.

The calendar

When to come,
and what it costs

Market benchmarks observed across comparable chalets. In Courchevel 1850, expect thirty to fifty percent above these bands, which reflect the Three Valleys market as a whole. The rate we quote for a chalet covers the rental of the property; staffing and services are priced alongside it.

December — Christmas & New Year €55,000 – €150,000+ In 1850, the festive premium over January routinely exceeds fifty percent, and goes well beyond at the top of the market.
January €20,000 – €45,000 The best value of the season, 1850 included, where the gap with the festive weeks is at its most striking.
February half-term €45,000 – €90,000 The most reliable snow. Decided between October and December.
March – April €20,000 – €45,000 Spring snow high up and terraces in the sun. Easter can still be taken late.

Questions

Everything worth
knowing

What is the difference between 1850, 1650, 1550 and Le Praz?
The ski area is the same; the address and the price change. 1850 holds the palaces, the starred tables and the most expensive chalets in France. Moriond (1650) has the best aspect, Village (1550) the best price-to-access ratio, and Le Praz (1300) the character of a real Savoyard village.
Is Courchevel much more expensive than Meribel?
Courchevel 1850 trades thirty to fifty percent above Meribel at genuinely equivalent standard, for the same ski area. The lower Courchevel levels narrow that gap considerably. If the criterion is the address, the premium is the price of the address; if the criterion is the skiing, Meribel deserves a look.
What does a week in a Courchevel chalet cost?
Three Valleys bands run from €20,000–€45,000 in low season to beyond €150,000 over New Year for a six- to seven-bedroom staffed chalet. In 1850, expect thirty to fifty percent above that. These are market benchmarks; we quote on your exact dates.
Is staffing included in the chalet rate?
No. The rate quoted for a chalet covers the rental of the property, and only that. Chef, chalet manager, housekeeping, driver, lift passes, equipment, instruction and transfers are arranged by our team and priced separately. You receive the whole of it in a single quote before anything is committed.
Can you land at Courchevel by private aircraft?
Yes. The Courchevel altiport takes light aircraft and helicopters, on a sloped runway of roughly 500 metres that requires a specific pilot qualification. We arrange the approach, the slots and the transfer to the chalet.
When should we book?
Christmas and New Year in 1850 are the most contested weeks in the Alps and are decided between late August and October, often without ever reaching the open market. February follows, October to December. January and spring book considerably later.
