Courchevel 38 is a five-bedroom luxury ski apartment in Courchevel 1850, the highest and most prestigious village in the Trois Vallées, positioned just 50 metres from both the slopes and the nearest ski lift. Spanning 188 square metres across five en-suite bedrooms, the apartment comfortably accommodates up to ten guests and includes a private hot tub, daily housekeeping and a chef service covering breakfast and dinner preparations. Two of the five bedrooms open onto private balconies with views across the snow-covered alpine landscape, giving the accommodation a sense of place that few properties at this size achieve. A ski locker and dedicated parking address the practical needs of a ski holiday without compromise, while the lift-served access to the building removes the logistical friction common to larger alpine properties. The inclusion of a daily chef service sets Courchevel 38 apart from most self-catered apartments in the resort: guests return from the slopes to a prepared breakfast or sit down to dinner without arranging anything themselves. The fifth bedroom is configured with a bunk bed, making the layout genuinely practical for families travelling with children rather than simply tolerant of them. At 188 square metres, the apartment is a sizable alpine residence for ten, and its position within the 1850 village places it at the centre of a resort that holds more Michelin-starred restaurants per square kilometre than anywhere else in the skiing world. The property is listed through Top Villas.

Best time to visit

winter

peak crowdpremium value

Courchevel 38 is a dedicated ski property and its entire proposition, including slope access, chef service and hot tub, is built around the winter ski season.

peak crowdpremium value

Winter is the only relevant season for a ski property in Courchevel 1850, running from December through April. Christmas and New Year, and February half-term, are peak demand periods requiring bookings well in advance. January offers the best combination of reliable powder and slightly lower competition for availability. Late March and April bring spring skiing conditions with longer daylight hours and sun-terrace dining at mountain restaurants.

winter

Recommended

dec · jan · feb · mar

Cold and reliably snowy at altitude, with consistent powder conditions from late December through March. Courchevel 1850 sits above 1,800 metres, giving it more dependable snow cover than lower resorts in the valley.

-8-2°C

peak crowdpremium value

Christmas and New Year weeks require booking 6 to 12 months in advance. February half-term is similarly competitive. January offers the best powder conditions with marginally lower demand and is the recommended window for flexible groups.

spring

apr · may

Mild and increasingly sunny in April, with good snow cover on higher runs through to mid-April. The resort closes by mid to late April, and the village is largely shut from May onwards.

0-10°C

low crowdgood value

Verify the property is available and the resort is operational before booking April dates, as the season end varies by year. Most facilities close once the lifts stop running.

summer

jun · jul · aug

Warm and pleasant in the lower valley with cool alpine air at altitude. No snow at resort level. Courchevel operates a summer season with hiking and mountain biking, though the scale of activity is significantly smaller than winter.

10-22°C

low crowdexcellent value

Summer availability is generally easier to secure and rates are significantly lower than the winter season. Confirm the property is operational in summer, as some ski apartments close between seasons.

autumn

sep · oct · nov

Cooler and increasingly quiet as the resort transitions between seasons. First snowfall at altitude is possible from October, but the resort is largely closed and most facilities do not operate.

-2-14°C

low crowdexcellent value

Most ski resort properties and facilities are closed from October through to early December. Confirm the property is accessible and operational before booking any autumn dates, as the inter-season closure is standard for Courchevel.

Why we chose it

The detail that stands out is the 50-metre distance to both the slopes and the ski lift, confirmed in the listing: at Courchevel 1850, that proximity is not incidental but the result of deliberate positioning in a village where such access commands a significant premium. Staying here feels materially different from the majority of ski apartments in the resort because the daily chef service means the transition from slope to table requires no effort from guests. Unlike most apartments at this price point in Courchevel 1850, which offer either good access or good staffing but rarely both at the apartment scale, Courchevel 38 pairs near-slope positioning with an included daily chef. For a group of ten, that combination is genuinely hard to replicate.

01The Architecture

Courchevel 38 sits within an established residential building in Courchevel 1850, served by a lift that eliminates stair-carrying for ski equipment and luggage. The building's position places it 50 metres from the Front de Neige slope and the Verdons, Chenus and Jardin Alpin lifts, a proximity that reflects the planning constraints of the 1850 village where the most desirable addresses…

02The Interior

The 188 square metres of interior space is arranged across five en-suite bedrooms, each with a television, providing a level of privacy per room that suits a group of ten without the common compromise of shared bathrooms. Bedrooms three and four carry private balconies that frame views of the surrounding snow-draped landscape, making them the standout rooms in the apartment.…

Two of the five bedrooms have private balconies, confirmed in the listing, with views across the snow-covered alpine surroundings. The building itself does not appear to have a shared terrace or garden based on available data, and the primary outdoor amenity confirmed in the scrape is the hot tub, which provides a post-skiing recovery space. The balconies on bedrooms three…
