3 Best places to stay in Courchevel 1850

Located right beside the slopes in Courchevel 1850 and with easy access to the resort’s main lifts, the rustic-chic Chabichou is a luxurious family-run hotel with an attractive white exterior and traditional alpine interior.

Large, well-appointed rooms have a cosy alpine feel; there’s a two Michelin-starred restaurant to dine in, and a spa – though access to this and the fitness centre isn’t included in your pretty hefty room price. Nevertheless, there’s a wonderfully friendly atmosphere created by the owners and staff, and families are given a very warm welcome.

The Chabichou is well located for accessing all the main pistes in Courchevel 1850, and it’s also within easy walking distance of the village centre. There’s the buzz of happy skiers schussing past the hotel during the day, but it’s peaceful at night, and the glorious restaurant means you’ll be tempted to dine in.

In a resort filled with five-star accommodation, this chalet-style boutique hotel stands out for its intimate atmosphere and cosy alpine charm. The serene forest setting is 10-minute walk from the 1850 village centre, with direct access to the piste.

This is the ultimate hotel for dog lovers – canine companions are treated to half-board, and can be cared for by the hotel’s team of dog-sitters while their owners hit the slopes. Après-ski cakes and crepes are served in the fire-warmed bar/lounge, while elegant suppers are served in Le 1850 restaurant, with dramatic lighting made from tree branches.

Annapurna is one of those rare 5-star hotels that feels luxurious and exclusive, yet is wholly family-friendly. Little ones are promised plenty of amusement with the kids’ club, while teenagers get their own hang-out room, with a pool table, games consoles, table football and cinema. Parents, meanwhile, can enjoy the beautiful spa (children welcome), with its panoramic mountain views from the hot tub.

Apres-ski cocktails (and mocktails) can be enjoyed in the lively bar, while hearty dinners are served in the Altitude 1900 restaurant, accompanied by a pianist. The location is perfect for families, set at the top of Courchevel 1850, with direct access to the slopes.
