Renting a luxury chalet or ski apartment in Courchevel doesn't have to be complicated. At Courchevel.Rentals, we've designed a seamless, end-to-end process—from the moment you browse our curated collection of properties to the minute your private transfer drops you at the door.

Step 1 — Browse Our Property Listings

Your Courchevel adventure starts on courchevel.rentals. Our portfolio features handpicked ski-in/ski-out chalets, slope-side apartments, and luxury residences across Courchevel 1850, 1650, and 1550.

Each listing includes high-resolution photography, detailed floor plans, amenity lists, and real-time availability calendars. Use the filters to narrow your search by dates, number of bedrooms, resort altitude, and budget. Whether you're planning a romantic week for two or a multi-family ski holiday for twenty, you'll find the perfect base on our platform.

Not sure which property suits you best? Our concierge team is available by phone, email, or live chat to discuss your requirements and recommend the most suitable options at no extra cost.

Step 2 — Contact Our Rental Team

Found a property you love? The next step is to get in touch with our agency. You can submit an enquiry directly from the listing page, send us an email, or call us. We aim to respond to all enquiries within two hours during business hours.

During this conversation, our rental specialists will confirm availability for your chosen dates, answer any questions about the property, and provide you with a full, transparent quote covering rental price, included services, and any applicable fees. We'll also take the time to understand exactly what you need from your stay so we can start preparing a personalized experience from the very beginning.

Step 3 — Submit Your Documents

To proceed with your reservation, we'll ask you to provide a small number of standard documents. This is required by French tenancy law and ensures the security of all parties. All information is handled confidentially and in full compliance with GDPR.

Step 4 — Sign the Rental Contract

Once your documents are validated, we prepare a formal rental agreement between Courchevel.Rentals and yourself. This contract is legally binding and outlines all terms and conditions of the rental, including:

• Exact dates of your stay
• Property address and details
• Total rental amount and payment schedule
• Cancellation policy
• House rules and guest obligations

We provide the contract digitally for your convenience—you can review, sign, and return it electronically within minutes using our secure e-signature platform. A signed copy is sent to you automatically for your own records.

Step 5 — Rental Payment & Security Deposit

With the contract signed, you'll proceed to payment. The typical payment structure is as follows:

Important: The security deposit acts as protection against any accidental damage during your stay. This deposit is almost never actually cashed—it is held as a guarantee only. Provided the property is returned in the same condition as upon arrival, the full deposit is returned to you promptly after check-out, typically within 7-14 days.

Step 6 — Organise Your Transfers & Arrival

Once your rental is fully confirmed and paid, our concierge team will work with you to plan your entire arrival seamlessly. Simply share your flight or train arrival details with us and we'll arrange a private transfer directly from the airport or station to your chalet or apartment.

We work with trusted, professional transfer companies. All transfers are in comfortable, heated vehicles with ample luggage space for ski equipment. Your driver will meet you in arrivals with a name board and assist with all luggage.

For the ultimate arrival experience, consider our helicopter transfer service or luxury Rolls-Royce chauffeur.

Step 7 — Ski Lessons & Instructor Booking

Courchevel is home to some of the world's finest ski schools and independent instructors. To save you the hassle of lengthy queues and last-minute availability stress, we can pre-book certified ski instructors and guides on your behalf.

We work with a curated network of ESF-certified instructors and private ski schools who offer lessons in multiple languages, for children and adults alike. Options include:

• Complete beginners — First-time skiers starting from scratch
• Intermediate progression — Building confidence and technique
• Advanced coaching — Off-piste, moguls, and performance skiing
• Children's programs — Age-appropriate fun and learning
• Guiding services — Explore the Three Valleys with a local expert

Step 8 — Ski Equipment Fitting

Carrying ski equipment through airports is a thing of the past. We partner with leading ski hire shops in Courchevel to offer a convenient, professional ski fitting service—either delivered directly to your chalet or available for collection at a premium partner shop nearby.

A specialist boot fitter will ensure your footwear is perfectly calibrated to your foot shape, skiing ability, and preferences. Available equipment includes:

Step 9 — Arrive & Enjoy Your Stay

Everything is in place. Your private transfer delivers you directly to your property, where you'll be welcomed with a property briefing and key handover. Your chalet or apartment will be freshly prepared, professionally cleaned, and stocked with your requested pre-arrival essentials if arranged.

Throughout your stay, our team remains available around the clock for any questions, assistance, or additional service requests:
