A curated alpine experience for every travel style.
Courchevel is a resort that adapts effortlessly to different ways of travelling. Whether your ideal escape centres around fashion, gastronomy, restoration or adventure, each experience can unfold naturally — without ever feeling scheduled or rushed.
Below, we explore how to experience Courchevel through four distinct travel personalities, with insider addresses and thoughtful moments that elevate a stay in the French Alps.
For the Fashion-Focused Traveller
In Courchevel 1850, luxury retail feels integrated into daily life rather than an event in itself. The main shopping strip along Rue du Rocher and the Croisette promenade is home to flagship boutiques from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior, Moncler and Hermès, alongside independent alpine specialists and fine jewellery houses.
A typical afternoon might begin with a late lunch at La Table de Marie on the Croisette, followed by a slow wander through the boutiques, before stopping for coffee at L’Épicerie 1850 or hot chocolate at Le Tremplin as skiers glide past.
Shopping in Courchevel is less about excess and more about immersion — curated pieces suited to mountain life, discovered between ski runs and social moments.
For the Food Lover
Courchevel has one of the most diverse culinary scenes in the Alps, ranging from globally recognised Michelin-starred dining to lively mountain restaurants with atmosphere and character.
For refined gastronomy:
- Le 1947 – 3 Michelin Stars – Contemporary French haute cuisine with meticulous wine pairings.
- Le Chabichou – 2 Michelin Stars – Elegant reinterpretations of regional French classics.
- Sarkara – 2 Michelin Stars – The world’s first Michelin-starred dessert-only restaurant.
- Azimut – 1 Michelin Star – Intimate, ingredient-driven French cuisine.
For something more relaxed yet equally memorable:
- Bagatelle Courchevel – Mediterranean cuisine with vibrant après energy.
- La Saulire – A long-standing alpine favourite for Savoyard specialities.
- Cap Horn – Known for seafood, sushi and a lively atmosphere.
- Le Chalet de Pierres – Perfect for long slope-side lunches in the sun.
A food-focused stay might include a leisurely lunch on the mountain, followed by an evening tasting menu, or a private chef experience in your chalet, where menus are created entirely around personal preference.
For Those Seeking Rest and Reset
For travellers prioritising calm and recovery, Courchevel offers exceptional options both within private chalets and beyond.
Many Consensio chalets include dedicated spa facilities: indoor pools, hammams, saunas and private treatment spaces, allowing guests to begin the day with a swim or unwind post-ski in complete privacy.
For those who enjoy exploring external wellness spaces:
- Aman Le Mélézin Spa – Known for its serene Japanese-inspired design and panoramic mountain views, with tailored Aman facials and hydrotherapy experiences.
- Goji Spa at Le K2 Palace – A tranquil, Himalayan-inspired space featuring a large pool, sauna circuit and signature detox treatments.
- Les Thermes du Carlina – A contemporary spa with expansive pool and relaxation areas overlooking the slopes.
- Spa Santiana at La Sivolière – A calm, intimate space known for its personalised rituals and gentle holistic approach.
Wellness in Courchevel is not confined to treatment rooms. Early morning walks through snow-covered forest paths, quiet coffee at altitude, or a private yoga session arranged in-chalet all contribute to a slower alpine rhythm.
For the Adventure-Driven Traveller
Courchevel sits within Les Trois Vallées, the largest interconnected ski area in the world. With direct access to an expansive network of pistes, off-piste routes and high-altitude terrain, it offers progression for every level.
Beyond traditional skiing:
- Guided off-piste experiences with specialist instructors
- Paragliding over the valley
- Snowmobiling at dusk
- Ice climbing and winter hiking routes
Adventurous guests often combine high-energy mornings with relaxed afternoons — perhaps finishing the day at La Folie Douce Courchevel or enjoying a late lunch at altitude before returning to the privacy of their chalet.
In Courchevel, adventure remains dynamic but never chaotic, always supported by seamless organisation and local expertise.
A Stay Designed Around You
What makes Courchevel unique is not simply the variety of experiences, but how effortlessly they coexist.
Fashion, fine dining, restorative wellness and alpine adventure are not separate itineraries. They are interchangeable moments within the same stay.
With Consensio Chalets, each experience is tailored discreetly around the guest. Whether arranging priority restaurant reservations, securing private ski instruction, or coordinating wellness appointments, every detail is managed to allow your time in the mountains to unfold naturally.
Courchevel adapts to your personality, not the other way around.
