A Chef on Every Property File

Catered Chalets in Courchevel

The 17 chalets on this page name a chef on their property file. We read that file one by one, and the page says which meals each service level covers before you have to ask.

What Catered Covers Here

Catered is a word the market uses loosely, so here is the version you can check. Our catalogue gives every property a service level. Two of them include a meal service and two do not: Prestige brings breakfast service, prepared on site or delivered depending on the property, Excellence is half board: breakfast, tea-time and lunch or dinner, and Essential and Comfort leave the kitchen to you. The level settles the meals, never the staff, and those are two separate lines on the same file. So on 12 September 2026 we read the staff list of all 245 properties we listed, and this page keeps the chalets where a chef is named on it.

12 at half board, which the catalogue defines as breakfast, tea-time and lunch or dinner, and 5 at breakfast level

A chef on the staff list of every one, 3 to 14 hours a day, with those hours recorded on 16 of the 17 files

12 also name a butler, 4 a chalet manager and 9 a chauffeur

4 to 8 bedrooms, 254 to 905 square metres

What the Property File Says, and What It Does Not

On 12 September 2026, we listed 245 properties in Courchevel. 57 come with a level that includes a meal service, and 19 name a chef: 17 chalets and 2 apartments. The distance between those two numbers is why this page was rebuilt on 12 September 2026. 19 chalets sell a level with breakfast service while their file names housekeeping staff and nobody in the kitchen. That is a different offer, and it belongs somewhere else.

Where they sit matters as much as how many there are. Of the 27 chalets we list in Courchevel 1850, 16 name a chef. Outside 1850, one does. A cook in the house is close to being a 1850 product in this catalogue, and the lower villages are mostly self-catered or breakfast level. If your group wants somebody cooking each evening, that settles the map before it settles the budget.

The gap between the two levels shows up in the hours. The breakfast chalets record up to 3 hours of chef a day, and the entry itself says breakfast preparation. The half board chalets record 8 hours or more, and 12 of them name a butler for the meal service too. Read those hours as the shape of the day rather than as a promise: a three hour kitchen is a morning, a ten hour kitchen reaches the evening.

Here is what no file answers, and what we will not invent for it. The catalogue holds no menus, no dietary handling, no chef biography, no staff night off, and no split between the rent and the food bill. Those are the questions worth asking on the one or two chalets you shortlist, and each answer is about that house instead of about a category. Send us the shortlist and we put them to the owner.

What a Week Costs

Each of the 17 chalets publishes a rate for every week of the season. Across the list the quietest week sits at €30,000 and the busiest at €298,000, read on 12 September 2026. Both ends are a week apart in the calendar as much as a chalet apart in the list: 38-43% at Christmas and in the week of 6 February (French Zone C holidays), and 75-79% at New Year and in the February peak week of 13 February. The top service tier starts at €50,000 a week, and nothing here is a price on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does catered mean on this page?

Catered is a market word. Our catalogue uses a service level instead, and two of its levels include a meal service: Prestige brings breakfast service, prepared on site or delivered depending on the property, and Excellence is half board: breakfast, tea-time and lunch or dinner. Essential and Comfort are self-catered. A level settles the meals, it never says who cooks them, so we read the staff list of all 245 properties we listed and kept the chalets where a chef is named. That is 17 chalets on 12 September 2026, 12 of them at half board. Groceries and ingredients are not listed as included on the property file. Ask Sonny to confirm the food-cost arrangement for the property.

How many catered chalets are there in Courchevel?

57 properties in our catalogue carry a service level with a meal service, 36 of them chalets. A chef is named on 19 files: 17 chalets and 2 apartments. 19 chalets sit between those two counts, with breakfast service in their level and no kitchen staff on the file. Checked on 12 September 2026.
