Opening its doors this ski season is the chic and stylish Cheval Blanc Courchevel, set in the heart of the prestigious Jardin Alpin district.
Ski luxury at its finest is hitting the slopes this season as the brand new Chevel Blanc Courchevel opens its doors from 12 December through to 7 April 2013. Comprising just 36 premium rooms and suites and boasting a luxury spa and a two-Michelin-starred restaurant amongst its facilities, this ski-in-ski-out Maison is a must-visit for seasoned ski lovers. In fact, Chevel Blanc Courchevel is so impressive it’s sure to entice complete ski novices into doning the salopettes and picking up the poles.
One of Chevel Blanc Courchevel’s main attractions is that it caters for adults and little skiers alike. On the surface it’s chic and slick with interior design by the renowned Sybille de Margerie – think a mix of mountain materials like fur, leather and wood – as well as hamman showers and elegant freestanding baths. But at the same time, the staff are on hand to dish out cashmere hats and gloves for little ones and snowman kits to show them how to build the perfect snow friend. There’s even a kid’s recreation haven in the form of a warm Mongolian yurt stocked with the latest toys and games consoles, as well as daily activities and workshops to keep them entertained. It’s family friendly luxury at its finest.
For big kids who need a spot of pampering after a gruelling day on the slopes, head to The Chevel Blanc Spa where they can ease aching muscles or rehydrate skin with a wealth of signature Guerlain treatments.
Foodies meanwhile will be pleased to hear that mountainside eating doesn’t get much better than at the Maison. Whether you’re eating in the two-starred Michelin restaurant by Yannick Alléno or enjoying a family meal in the more relaxed White restaurant; you’ll be spoilt for choice and belly-full.
Chevel Blanc Courchevel manages to do family friendly and luxury all in one go and it’s a must-visit for families or couples looking for a new base to hit the slopes. Between all the activities, relaxation and eating the Maison has to offer, whether you’ll even have time to take to the slopes is another story.
Chevel Blanc Courchevel is open between 12 December 2012 and 7 April 2013. For more information visit www.chevalblanc.com
