Head for the pearl of Les Trois Vallées !
600 kilometres of slopes in an area of 400 square kilometres, Europe’s most famous skiing domain is highly coveted among an international clientele fond of winter sports, but also a certain life-style seen as “so very French”. This apartment in Courchevel 1850 meets all the criteria.
After Saint-Bon, at an altitude of 1100 metres, the very authentic Praz, at 1300 metres, 1500, paradise for youngsters, and Le Moriond or 1650, a sunny spot recommended for fans of easy skiing, 1850, a lair for trendy boutiques and luxury establishments, gives all its meaning to the expression “white gold”. Just a 2-hour drive from the airports of Geneva and Lyon, Courchevel boasts a dozen star-rated restaurants. From La Saulire, known for its prestigious wines and specialities based on black truffles, to the sensational Cap Horn or the more traditional Mangeoire, addresses for foodies are certainly not lacking. Neither are prestigious residential developments. Alain Fœillet signs his name to the “Six Senses” residence, opting for organic colours and materials : brown, beige and grey, wood, stone and marble. As evidenced by this apartment of 207 m2 (> 1m80), plus almost 20 m2 of space beneath the eaves, and a terrace of 37 m2 facing the Alpine peaks. All four bedrooms benefit from their own bathrooms, separate toilets and walk-in closets. A kitchen in the purest Italian tradition, Antonio Lupi or Laufen bathroom fixtures…, everything contributes to the property’s comfort and elegance, a perfect balance between modernity and the warmth of the mountains. The residence comes with a reception, lounge, manicure salon and juice bar. The spa has no less than five treatment booths, a swimming pool, sauna, gym and relaxation room. The notion of service is here taken to an extreme with a “conciergerie de ski”, enabling enthusiasts to benefit from the best of the discipline without being subjected to any constraints.
