Courchevel, France

An iconic alpine destination known for its pristine slopes, Michelin-starred dining, and legendary après-ski scene. Whether you're carving fresh tracks or indulging in elevated alpine experiences, discover our ultimate guide to Courchevel.

WHERE TO STAY

If wellness is a priority, Six Senses Residences & Spa offers a refined take on alpine living. The spacious apartments come with the option of a private chef, while the subterranean spa is one of the best in town—featuring an indoor pool, cutting-edge treatments, and a state-of-the-art gym.

For something more traditional, L’Apogée Courchevel blends old-world charm with five-star service. Set at the highest point in the village, it’s a ski-in, ski-out haven complete with a Savoie-inspired restaurant and an intimate cigar lounge.

WHERE TO EAT

Courchevel is no stranger to fine dining, but Sumosan is the spot for an elevated après-ski dinner. Sleek, sophisticated, and serving some of the best sushi in the Alps, it’s a welcome alternative to the usual fondue fare.

For a long lunch on the slopes, Le Chalet de Pierres is the move. Best known for its famous cheese room (yes, really), it pairs classic French cuisine with panoramic mountain views.

WHERE TO SKI

With its perfectly groomed pistes, expansive terrain, and seamless lift network, Courchevel is at the heart of Les Trois Vallées—the largest ski area in the world. From wide-open cruisers to steep chutes, the resort offers something for every skier. For a smooth, scenic descent, the Combe de la Saulire is an iconic red run with breathtaking views, while Grandes Combes delivers long, flowing pistes on freshly groomed snow. Those in search of off-piste adventure can explore the untouched powder fields of La Tania or the Vallée des Avals with a private guide, unlocking hidden terrain far from the crowds.

For early risers, Courchevel’s First Tracks program offers exclusive access to pristine slopes before the lifts officially open a must for those who want to carve fresh lines at sunrise. Thrill seekers can push their limits on the Grand Couloir, one of the steepest black runs in Europe, or take on the Eclipse, Courchevel’s official World Cup downhill course. For an even more elevated experience, private ski instructors are available to refine your technique, while heli-skiing excursions across the border to Italy promise unparalleled access to untouched backcountry descents.

WHERE TO APRÈS-SKI

Courchevel does après well, but Le Cap Horn is where things really get going. Whether it’s champagne on the terrace or a full-throttle alpine party scene, this legendary spot never disappoints.

Prefer something more low-key? La Mangeoire starts as a refined piano bar before transforming into a full-on dancing-on-the-tables affair. The perfect place to round off an evening.

WHAT TO WEAR

For the ultimate ski-to-après look, take inspiration from our recent trip co-hosted with @stef.williams. Bold shades, luxurious textures, and statement accessories are key. Layer high-performance base layers under vibrant outerwear for the slopes, then elevate the look with faux-fur accents for après-ski.

Whether you choose striking reds and oranges or prefer timeless black and white, the looks from our Moment Makers prove that style and performance can go hand in hand—on and off the mountain.
