Hot TubSaunaSteam RoomPrivate ChefMountain View

Courchevel 168 is a five-bedroom alpine chalet sleeping ten guests in the Cospillot area of Courchevel 1850, the highest and most prestigious village in the Trois Vallées ski area. At 230 square metres, the chalet is generously proportioned for its capacity, with five en-suite bedrooms that give every guest genuine privacy rather than a shared bathroom rota. The wellness offering is the standout at this price point: a sauna, hammam and indoor jacuzzi together in a dedicated lounge space make après-ski recovery a considered part of the stay rather than an afterthought. The living spaces balance modern comfort with traditional alpine materials, centred on a fireplace and mountain views from the balcony. A private chef is available, removing the logistical weight of catering from what are typically full days on the mountain. The Cospillot area is a residential pocket of 1850 with a quieter character than the resort's busier central zones, whilst remaining within easy reach of the Bellecôte and Croisette lift hubs that connect into the wider Trois Vallées network. Courchevel 168 suits families or groups of close friends who want a well-appointed base with serious wellness amenities, in a resort that needs no introduction to anyone who skis seriously in Europe.

Courchevel 168 is designed around the ski season, with a wellness suite, fireplace and mountain views that are at their most purposeful when snow covers the Trois Vallées and the slopes are open.

Courchevel 1850's ski season runs from December through April, with January offering reliable powder and fewer crowds than the Christmas and February half-term peaks. The resort opens to summer visitors from June, with hiking and mountain biking on trails above 2,000 metres. For a property of this type, winter is the primary season: the wellness suite, fireplace and mountain views all point towards snow on the ground.

Cold and consistently snowy at altitude, with reliable piste conditions from late December through March. Temperatures drop sharply overnight and clear blue-sky days are common.

peak crowdpremium value

Christmas and New Year weeks require booking 6 to 12 months in advance for properties of this quality in Courchevel 1850. January offers the best powder conditions with slightly lower demand. February half-term books out almost as quickly as Christmas: secure your dates early.

spring

apr · may

Milder and sunnier with good snow cover on upper runs through April. The resort typically closes by mid-April and is largely quiet from late April through May.

Late March and early April offer genuine value with reliable snow above 2,000 metres. Verify resort and lift operational dates before booking for April, as closure dates vary by season.

summer

jun · jul · aug

Warm and sunny in the valley with cool alpine air at elevation. Temperatures are considerably more moderate than lower Alpine towns, making it a practical escape from summer heat.

12-22°C

Summer availability is generally strong and rates are significantly lower than ski season. Confirm that the specific property is operating in summer, as some Courchevel chalets are ski-season only.

autumn

Temperatures drop steadily from September, with first snowfall at altitude from October. The resort enters an inter-season closure for most of October and November.

Most Courchevel chalets and resort facilities are closed between mid-April and early December. Verify that the property is open and accessible before booking for any autumn dates.

Why we chose it

The combination of sauna, hammam and indoor jacuzzi in a single dedicated wellness lounge is the detail that separates Courchevel 168 from the majority of five-bedroom rentals in 1850, where a hot tub on a terrace is the standard offering. Staying here feels more like a private club than a rental: the wellness sequence at the end of a ski day has a logic and completeness that most comparable properties cannot match. Unlike most chalets at this price point in Courchevel, the wellness suite is fully interior, meaning it is usable regardless of weather and does not require guests to brave the cold in robes. The private chef availability reinforces that positioning: this is a property designed for people who want the mountain, not the admin.

01The Architecture

Courchevel 168 sits in the Cospillot area of Courchevel 1850, a residential zone that tends towards chalet-style construction rather than the larger hotel-adjacent buildings closer to the resort centre. The property follows the traditional alpine design language of the village: pitched rooflines, natural materials and a scale suited to a group of ten rather than a grand lodge statement. At…

02The Interior

The interior of Courchevel 168 is described as a blend of modern living spaces and traditional alpine design, with the main living area built around a fireplace and comfortable sofas. The five bedrooms are all configured with double beds and individual en-suite bathrooms, a specification that reflects considered planning for adult groups: no shared bathrooms, no bunk configurations, no compromises.…

03The Outdoor

The primary outdoor feature confirmed in the scraped data is a balcony with mountain views. Given Courchevel 1850's altitude and the property's alpine context, the balcony serves as a morning coffee and mountain-watching space rather than a summer entertaining deck. No terrace, outdoor kitchen, barbecue or garden is confirmed in the listing. The property's outdoor value is primarily its location…

04The Location

Courchevel 1850 is the highest village in the Courchevel ski area and the most recognised address in European alpine skiing, with a concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants unmatched by any other ski resort in the world. Courchevel 168 sits in the Cospillot neighbourhood, a quieter residential pocket of 1850 that is calmer than the central Jardin Alpin zone whilst remaining within…

05Ideal For

Courchevel 168 works best for a group of up to ten adults, either a multigenerational family or a group of couples, who prioritise post-ski recovery as much as time on the mountain. The five en-suite bedrooms suit mixed groups where privacy matters. A private chef option makes it practical for those who do not want to cook after full days…

Le Chabichou

Le Chabichou holds two Michelin stars and is one of the defining fine dining addresses in Courchevel 1850. Book well ahead for dinner during peak weeks: tables in January are easier to secure than Christmas or half-term.

Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc Courchevel

Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc holds two Michelin stars and represents the pinnacle of the resort's restaurant scene. The tasting menu is a full evening commitment and is best reserved for a night when the group is not skiing the following morning.

Helicopter transfer via Courchevel aerodrome

Courchevel aerodrome is one of the only ski resort airstrips in the Alps and operates helicopter transfers across the Savoie region during the ski season. A transfer from Geneva by helicopter cuts road journey time to under 30 minutes and is worth pricing for groups of four or more.
