Head for the Chills

Head for the Chills: Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Situated on the fourth floor of a residential building, within ski-in/ski-out distance of the slopes, this super chic and modern apartment offers unmatched access to the upscale ski resort of Courchevel 1850.

The interior takes inspiration from traditional mountain design, with plenty of wooden cladding and stone accents that evoke the grand chalets found dotted throughout the resort. An open living area – with a sofa, dining table and well-equipped kitchen – is ideal for unwinding after an exhilarating day enjoying the outdoors. Make the most of bluebird days with a revitalising morning coffee out on the east-facing balcony, returning home after countless top-to-bottom runs to soothe your aching muscles in the sauna.

Snow-sure Courchevel is one of the most prestigious places to ski in the French Alps. Not only is it blessed with plenty of fast lifts and immaculately groomed pistes, but connoisseurs of fine French cuisine will enjoy its selection of Michelin-starred restaurants. At the same time, party animals can keep the apres-ski party going into the wee hours at its classy nightspots.

Home truths:
*Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available on request
*The apartment is located on the fourth floor without lift access, so it's unlikely to be suitable for those with more limited mobility
*The proximity of the piste means that a car isn't necessary here – however, there's on-site parking available should you need it
*There's a sauna located within the apartment
*Two of the bedrooms have no external windows
*The neighbours are known to be early birds, so please keep noise to a minimum in the evenings
