Courchevel

Courchevel, in the French Alps, is one of Europe’s most celebrated ski destinations, combining spectacular mountain scenery with a distinctive architectural heritage. Part of Les Trois Vallées, the world’s largest interconnected ski area, it comprises several villages at different altitudes, each with its own character. Courchevel 1850 is synonymous with glamorous Alpine hospitality, while the resort’s post-war development introduced an influential generation of modernist mountain architecture. Traditional Savoyard chalets, ambitious contemporary buildings and dramatic Alpine landscapes create an intriguing contrast.

Food and drink are central to Courchevel’s identity, from traditional mountain restaurants serving fondue, raclette and Savoyard specialities to ambitious fine dining, elegant wine bars and sophisticated après-ski venues. Few Alpine resorts combine rustic mountain traditions with such an elaborate culinary scene.

At DNA Hotels, our selected address offers a distinctive perspective on Courchevel, where architectural individuality and authentic mountain character provide a refreshing alternative to the resort’s more conventional expressions of luxury.
