Courchevel Chalet Rental: How to Find and Book the Right Chalet

Everything you need to know about chalet rental in Courchevel — village differences, what's included, peak season pricing, and how to secure a chalet that suits your group.

Finding the right chalet rental in Courchevel is less about browsing photos and more about understanding what you actually need. The resort spans five villages across nearly 600 metres of altitude. The chalet in 1850 that sleeps 10 and the one in Moriond that sleeps the same number are not the same experience — and neither is the price.

Courchevel Chalet Rental: Which Village?

The first decision in any Courchevel chalet rental is the village. Each has a distinct character:

Courchevel 1850

The flagship village. Palaces, Michelin restaurants, ski-in/ski-out access directly from the main lifts.

  • • Highest concentration of luxury chalets
  • • Peak week chalets from €15,000 to €250,000+
  • • Walking distance to La Croisette and the altiport

Courchevel 1650 (Moriond)

More relaxed, family-friendly, with excellent ski access and lower prices than 1850 for comparable space.

  • • Better value for large groups
  • • 12-minute lift connection to 1850
  • • Aquamotion pool and spa complex nearby

Courchevel Village (1550)

Quieter, charming, with good lift access and a traditional village feel.

  • • Less crowded slopes
  • • Mid-range pricing
  • • Good for beginners and families with young children

Le Praz (1300)

The original village at the bottom of the valley. Authentic, affordable, with Olympic bobsled history.

  • • Most affordable chalet rentals in Courchevel
  • • Great restaurants and local atmosphere
  • • Gondola access to upper slopes

What's Included in a Courchevel Chalet Rental?

In Courchevel, chalet rentals typically come in two formats: catered and self-catered. The distinction matters more than the chalet spec when you're planning a week with a group.

A catered chalet rental in Courchevel 1850 usually includes a resident chalet host or team, daily cleaning, breakfast every morning, afternoon tea with cakes, and a set number of dinners during the week. Some include a private chef for every meal. The higher the weekly rate, the more comprehensive the service.

Self-catered chalets give you the space without the staffing. They work well for groups who prefer to eat out most evenings or who want more flexibility in their schedule. Many self-catered chalets in Courchevel still come with a concierge service — handling ski passes, restaurant reservations and transfers.

Courchevel Chalet Rental Prices: What to Expect

Chalet rental prices in Courchevel vary enormously depending on village, size, amenities and time of year.

Village Type Low season / week Peak week
Courchevel 1850 6-bed chalet €8,000–€20,000 €20,000–€60,000+
Courchevel 1850 10-14 bed ultra-luxury €30,000–€80,000 €80,000–€250,000+

Indicative rates for 2025-2026. Peak weeks: Christmas, New Year, February half-term.

How to Book a Chalet Rental in Courchevel

The best chalets in Courchevel 1850 are gone by October for Christmas and by November for February half-term. If you are flexible on dates or village, the window stays open longer — but popular properties with ski-in/ski-out access in prime locations go fast.

Booking direct through a specialist agency gives you access to properties not listed on the major platforms. Once your chalet is booked, you can also arrange ski lessons in Courchevel and restaurant reservations through the same concierge, plus someone who knows each chalet personally and can match you to the right one. Generic booking platforms list volume; agencies list what they know.

When comparing chalets, ask specifically about:

  • → Ski-in/ski-out or distance to lifts
  • → What's included in the rental price (cleaning, linen, firewood)
  • → Whether a private chef or catering service is available
  • → Parking and garage — essential if you're arriving by car
  • → Pool, sauna or spa facilities on-site
  • → Pet policy if you're travelling with dogs
