Luxury Chalet Courchevel 1850: What You Get at Every Price Point

From €8,000 to €250,000 per week — what a luxury chalet rental in Courchevel 1850 actually includes at each price level. Catered service, ski-in ski-out, private pool and staff explained.

A luxury chalet in Courchevel 1850 means different things at different price points. At €8,000 per week, you get a well-finished 4-bedroom property, a good location, and daily cleaning. At €80,000, you get a private chef team, a cinema room, a heated indoor pool, and a concierge who has your restaurant reservations made before you land. Here is what each level actually looks like.

Entry Luxury: €8,000–€20,000 per Week

At this level, you are in a genuinely well-appointed chalet in Courchevel 1850 — not the village outskirts, but within 10-15 minutes of the slopes. Expect 4-5 bedrooms, a good kitchen, a hot tub or sauna, and modern Alpine interiors. Daily cleaning and linen changes are standard.

Catering is typically not included at this price point — or is available as an optional add-on. Most guests at this level eat dinner out most evenings, which works well given the restaurant options in 1850.

Full-Service Luxury: €20,000–€60,000 per Week

This is where the catered service model becomes standard. A resident chalet host or small team handles breakfast daily, afternoon tea with home-baked food, and 3-5 dinners per week cooked in the chalet. The ski-in ski-out access becomes more likely at this level — properties in prime locations on the Verdons or Bellecôte piste start appearing.

Private pools become common from around €30,000 per week. Saunas and hammams are almost universal. Some properties at this level also include a cinema room or games room.

Price / week Bedrooms What's included
€8k–€20k 4–5 bed Cleaning, linen, hot tub. Self-catered.
€20k–€60k 5–8 bed Catered service, pool/sauna, ski-in ski-out (some), cinema room.
€60k–€120k 8–12 bed Full chef team, private spa, ski-in ski-out, private transfers, sommelier.
€120k+ 10–20+ bed Full staff, helicopter access, wine cellar, complete concierge. All-inclusive.

Ultra-Luxury: €60,000–€250,000+ per Week

Above €60,000 per week, you are typically looking at a full residential staff: a head chef and sous chef, housekeeping team, butler or estate manager, and a dedicated concierge who handles everything from helicopter arrivals at the altiport to same-day restaurant reservations at Le 1947.

The largest chalets in Courchevel 1850 in this bracket sleep 14-20 guests and are designed as self-contained estates. Indoor pools of 15+ metres, wine cellars, home cinemas, and private gym facilities are standard. Some include a garage for guest vehicles and a ski room with a technician who boots your skis every morning.

At the very top end — €150,000-€250,000 per week at Christmas — you are in the company of properties that host heads of state and major family offices. These chalets are not marketed publicly and are typically available only through specialist agencies with direct relationships with the owners.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Courchevel 1850, luxury starts with location and finishes. A luxury chalet has a ski-convenient location (ideally ski-in ski-out or within 5 minutes of a lift), high-quality interiors, a sauna or wellness space, and a concierge service. Above that threshold, the differentiators are catering, pool, staff levels, and size.

For groups of 6 or more, catered chalets almost always represent better value than self-catered plus eating out. The food quality in a good chalet kitchen often matches mid-range restaurants, and the convenience of not organising every dinner saves significant time and decision fatigue over a week.

January offers the best combination of reliable snow conditions and lower prices than peak weeks. The resort is quieter than February, the pistes are in excellent condition, and rates are typically 30-40% below Christmas and February half-term. For those who want the full social scene, February is the peak — but prices reflect it.

For Christmas and New Year, the best properties go in September-October. For February half-term, book by November. January and March weeks can often be secured with 4-8 weeks notice, though specific properties with strong demand fill earlier. Last-minute availability exists but choice is limited.

At minimum: restaurant reservations, ski pass collection, equipment rental arrangements, and transfer coordination. At higher price points: private chef, helicopter transfers from Geneva or Lyon, private ski instructor booking, in-chalet spa therapists, childcare, and 24/7 availability for any request during your stay.
