The world’s largest ski area has one of the longest winter-sports seasons in the Alps. Courchevel is in fact made up of four resorts (Courchevel 1850, Moriond 1650, Courchevel Village 1550 and Courchevel Le Praz 1300) linked by lifts, runs and a road. And it’s not all about the snow here, the area boasts an Aquamotion centre with surfing facilities, a climbing wall, a skating rink and a host of incredible places to eat. In season it plays host to many events, making it a hub of activity. Here are our recommendations for the very best accommodation in Courchevel.

Hotel Des Trois Vallées
(4 stars) Providing a distinct and different aesthetic to many of the other hotels in the region, Hotel Des Trois Vallées has a post-war and mid-century interior style. Room types are titled: Comfort, Privilege, or Suite, with a Nespresso machine, minibar and balcony in each. Dine on authentic local table d’hôte menus while seated at rustic trestle tables in L’Épicerie. Slow down at the Spa des 3 Vallées, with its Turkish Bath, sauna and Grand Jacuzzi. And escape the crowds in a setting that’s far enough of the beaten track, yet still in the heart of Alpine activity.
