Cheval Blanc Courchevel The epitome of mountain elegance

Cheval Blanc Courchevel is probably the most beautiful palace in the French Alps. Tucked away in the renowned French ski resort of Courchevel in Savoy, Cheval Blanc CourchevelPart of the LVMH Group, received the Palace award in 2011. Located in the largest ski area in the world “Les 3Vallées”, 85% of the domain is over 1800 meters, 600 km of slopes and a ski pass for the seven resorts including Meribel, Val Thorens, Les Menuires, the property is the most exclusive ski area.

Very good accessibility: the Altiport is about 5 minutes by car from the hotel. Greeted by contemporary artist Bruno Peinado’s resplendent and colossal ‘Mirror Horse’, the resort’s reflective landmark, with its luminous ocher facade, already sets the tone of the wooden chalet retreat.

Opened in 2006, the Cheval Blanc Courchevel, the first of the Cheval Blanc collection, which includes St Barths, Randheli in the Maldives, St Tropez and Paris, was the reference for the following projects. Conceived as a modern and very warm retreat, Cheval Blanc Courchevel offers just 36 rooms and suites. Behind a typical wooden mountain facade, guests experience a very modern, extremely comfortable and ultra-fine chalet without artifice.

The excellent service reflects the codes of Cheval Blanc, luxurious, discreet with meticulous attention to detail, as in its design. interior architect Sybille de Margerie who has worked with Cheval Blanc since the beginning of the adventure, describes the interiors of the estate as “a luxury of immaterial dimension and unobtrusive comfort”. “We committed to making the property different than in the mountains, we broke the codes”. A pioneer in mountain hospitality, where rustic and mountainous decoration prevails. “It’s a property you have to experience to make your own”, said the architect. Inside the property, Sybille de Margerie mixed invisible materials such as Murano glass or Zerbano marble, textures and colors that evoke emotions. She combined light colors such as aniseed green, ultraviolet, Pepsi orange or poppy red with brownish grey, the characteristic color of Cheval Blanc.

Every detail has been carefully considered and no concessions have been made when it comes to comfort. Cheval Blanc excels in all areas, it is both very elegant and extremely comfortable. Strolling inside, numerous poetic references can be found here and there: musical wooden owls in the bathroom to help you relax in your bath, stuffed sheep in the hallways for a humorous touch, and so many details that surprise guests, like a dedicated space in the changing rooms to hang up your ski gear and snowshoes.
