The call of the wild through sun-soaked windows. The spirit of the Alps found in this cosy retreat.

Troubles, forgotten. Bundled up and chilled out. A spacious sanctuary for mountain souls where cuckoo clocks tick a little slower.

Make snow angels in a sea of white bedsheets. Laze here, idle there. Linger softly like snowflakes do in a grand space built for hushed living.

Dream sweetly, rise gently in a cocoon of fuzzy blankets and bold colour. A place where pillow fights are the final round of the day’s snowball battles.

Two floors and wanting for nothing but wintering together. Cosy up, lounge around – home is found in an ocean of duvet and a cloud of pillows.

Two floors and wanting for nothing but wintering together. Cosy up, lounge around – home is found in an ocean of duvet and a cloud of pillows.Life in a palette of rich chocolate brown and a deep, winter red. A radiant space for bright eyes and clear minds to watch dawn break or the dark night rise.

Sweet winter reveries as told in four floors. A wonderland for ski-squads. Penguins here, bears there – a few sneaky forest friends for an intimate welcome home.

Designed by Peter Marino, Le Triptyque is a daring, contemporary brasserie serving refined dishes with Savoyard attitude. Convivial banquettes, lacquered round tables and a wood-burning fireplace offer a welcome respite from the frosty outdoors. The sun-soaked slope-side terrace invites sleek skiers to an indulgent lunch and afternoon tea.

Coffee at first light, afternoon bites, late night morsels. Simmer down by the crackling fire. Rediscover table talk. Share a little, share a lot. Design a medley of small plates and indulge in a kaleidoscope of flavours inspired by the Savoie and Italy. Golden threads of steaming pasta, lush toasted croque-monsieurs, velvety rich onion soup warm from head to toe.

Courchevel’s only 3 Michelin-starred restaurant unveils a true ballet of refined French savoir-faire, headed by Chef Yannick Alléno. A porcelain fairyland with an invitation for a select few. Three stars sparkle like icicles, unveiling Chef Yannick Alléno’s vibrant artistry. Named for the most prestigious vintage of Château Cheval Blanc, the chefs of Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc set the stage for a delectable melody at the heart of the Maison. Sybille de Margerie’s enveloping décor opens the heart of the kitchen onto the intimate dining room – including guests in the nightly performance. Sleek, contemporary, breathtaking – a canvas styled to ignite every sense.

Criss-crossed arms, passing plates, twinkling eyes. Dine a little closer together in a room designed for festivities. Dine on a handcrafted work of art by Gilles Hoang – a sprawling family table to celebrate convivial moments with closest ones. A whirl of a whisk and a flourish of sophisticated hands – the chefs of the Maison design a family-style sharing menu using market inspirations and the spirit of the Savoie. The Maison’s world-class team of sommeliers surprise the palate with a witty introduction to near and far terroirs. Standard bottles aside – it’s time for Magnums, Jeroboams, Imperials and Salamanzars to shine.

Canapés in igloos. Toasting marshmallows in a wood lodge. Breakfast in bed. Room service is carte blanche, and nothing is too small or large. A tea party with snowmen, a pocket-sized picnic for mid-ski snacking, a lush dessert tasting for two in a wood lodge. Candlelit dinners in-room for bathrobe-loafers, breakfast in bed for late risers. Carte Blanche in-room and experiential dining is the epitome of Cheval Blanc’s creativity and Art de Recevoir, available 24/7.

Soak, float, drift, dive. An indoor infinity-edge swimming pool shimmers under a sky of a million silver stars. An indoor jacuzzi releases the winter frost from chilly limbs. Outdoor Russian banya and hot tub invite daring winter babies to jump in and out of warmth. An ice fountaine cures ski-fatigued muscles. Be as weightless as water lillies.

High-altitude and a day out on the slopes calls for a winter-inspired wellness journey. Cheval Blanc’s intuitive Guerlain Beauty Experts unveil a programme of pure pampering for avant and après-ski. Throughout the season, the Cheval Blanc Spa hosts a series of exclusive events for beauty-lovers, from Guerlain perfume ateliers, to professional make-up lessons with the experts. The sumptuous sauna warms deep within the soul, and a chromotherapy hammam-steam room ignites recovery and releases tension.
