Frequently Asked Questions

Browse the collection, pick your dates, and send an enquiry. You get an answer within 24 hours, and it comes from one person rather than a queue. You book direct, with no intermediary fee added on our side.

Prices are displayed live on every property page, with no price on request. Weekly rates range from €1,050 for the smallest apartments to €200,000+ for the largest staffed chalets, depending on village, size and service level. Peak weeks run 35-39% at Christmas and February half-term, and 73-81% at New Year and the February peak, measured against a normal January week on the same properties. The price you see for your dates is the price you pay.

We do not publish a booking window. Christmas, New Year and February half-term go first, the rest of the season does not, and the honest answer depends on the week and the size of the party. Tell us the week and we will say what is still open.

Chalets here are rented by the week, seven nights. The changeover day is Saturday for almost the whole catalogue, and a small number of chalets run Sunday to Sunday instead. The search on our properties page accepts both days, so a Sunday week will not hide those chalets from you. During quieter periods, shorter stays may be available on select properties, so ask us for your dates.

Standard check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am. Those are the times in our Terms and Conditions and they hold on most properties. Whether you can get in earlier or stay later comes down to one thing: whether the chalet is empty the night before or the night after. In the peak weeks it almost never is, because one group leaves in the morning and the next arrives that afternoon. Ask us for your dates and we will look at that chalet's calendar rather than give you a general answer.

You pay 25 percent of the rental price to confirm the booking, and the balance falls due one month before you arrive. Both figures come from the rental contract we use, in its 4 September 2026 version. That contract states expressly that the sum is paid as an acompte and not as arrhes, which under French law means the commitment is firm on both sides rather than a sum either party can walk away from. The booking is confirmed once you have our written confirmation and that payment has reached us. If the balance is not settled one month before arrival, the agency may cancel the booking within the following five days, and returns the 25 percent if the property is re-let for the same dates at the same rate. These are the terms in our contracts, not an average of what other people in the resort do. The full wording is in our Terms and Conditions.

Our contracts set two steps, not three. From booking until 31 days before arrival, you lose the 25 percent paid at confirmation. From 30 days before arrival to the arrival day itself, no-show included, the full stay is due. One exception is written in: if the property is re-let for the same dates at the same price, you are refunded less a 5 percent administrative fee. Leaving early once the stay has started gives no refund. That is the wording of the 4 September 2026 version of the contract, and it is why we tell every guest to hold cancellation insurance, which we do not sell. If the agency itself has to cancel, for the act of a third party or a natural disaster, it owes you alternative accommodation of the same category at no extra cost, and a full refund where none can be found.

Most properties ask for one, and the question behind the question is whether the money leaves your account. In the normal case it does not: our contracts take a card imprint during the month before arrival and never debit it. Where the contract states that the deposit is to be cashed, it is paid by transfer together with the balance instead. Who holds it depends on the property, the managing agency or the owner, and where the owner has declared the figure you see it on the property page before you commit to anything. If nothing went wrong in the chalet, our contracts return it within one month of your departure at the latest. One thing we will not pretend: we are not the ones holding it, so we cannot release it ourselves. We can chase it and tell you where it is.

We recommend it, and we do not sell it, so you buy it from your own insurer. Two things make it matter here. First, look at the cancellation terms on this page: from 30 days before arrival, a cancellation costs the full amount. Insurance does not change that. It is what can pay you back, depending on your policy. Second, we work as an agent between you and the property owner, so we are not responsible for what the owner does, for injury or lost belongings during your stay, or for events outside anyone's control. Your own policy is what covers those.

The security deposit is what covers damage, and it sits apart from the rental money. One figure is worth knowing before you sign rather than after: our contracts bill any repair at cost plus 20 percent in management fees, in the 4 September 2026 version. We will be honest with you about our part in it: we do not decide what comes out of it. The departure inspection is run by the owner or by the managing agency, and the deduction is their decision, not ours. The chalet is not ours either. So the thing that actually protects you happens on day one, not on the last day. Anything already broken, missing or dirty when you walk in has to be on record before anyone looks at your deposit. The next answer is how to do that.

Tell us the same day, and send a photo. There is a WhatsApp button on every page of this site, and the number is +33 6 59 86 74 66. A photo taken on the day you arrive is what separates a fault you found from a fault you caused, and it is the only thing that will still hold up weeks later when the deposit is settled. And here is the limit, which we would rather you know before you book than after: the repair belongs to the owner or to the managing agency, so we cannot promise you a time on it. What we do is put your report to them and tell you what they answer.

They come with the property, from the owner or from the managing agency. We do not shoot them and we do not retouch them. That cuts both ways and you should know which way: the images are not dressed up by us, and we cannot put a date on every photograph on this site. What we can do is answer a question about one chalet. If what you want to check is the view from the terrace, the state of the kitchen, or what has been built next door, ask us about that chalet, and we will tell you what we know and what we do not.

The bedroom number you see is a count, and a count is all it is. It does not tell you whether every room has a window, how wide the beds are, or whether one of those rooms is a mezzanine open onto the living room. We would rather write that here than let you find it out on a Saturday evening with your bags in the hall. If the sleeping arrangement matters for your group, and with children or with two couples it always does, ask us for the room by room detail on that chalet before you pay anything.

Read the number, not the words, and check that there is one. On 129 of our properties the door-to-piste distance is recorded; on the other 116 the field is empty, and an empty field is not a short distance. Where the figure exists, the property page shows it in metres, together with the distance to the nearest lift, and it comes from the property data rather than from our writing. Some chalets show 20 m. Others show 400 m and are still described as close to the slopes. Both can make a good week. They are not the same morning with three children and a boot bag. If a page shows you a distance and you want to know what those metres are made of, stairs, a road to cross, a walk in ski boots or a shuttle, ask us about that chalet.

Two separate things here, and it is worth keeping them apart. This site is published by Maison TALLI, a sole trader under German law, owned by Sonny Ubertalli and registered in Hamminkeln. The VAT number is DE337178808 and you can check it yourself on the European VIES register. Courchevel Rentals is the name of this site, not a second company. The rental is the other thing. Our Terms and Conditions say it plainly: we do not own the properties listed here. We sit between you and the owner and we put the booking together, so the rental agreement itself is not signed with Maison TALLI. Our own terms are governed by French law, with the courts of Chambéry, and the publisher details are in the Legal Notice.

You pay the rate you see, and it is the same rate you would pay going to the property direct. We do not add a margin on top of it, and there is no booking fee and no service fee from us. We do not own these chalets. We work with the owners and the agencies in Courchevel, and it is the property side that pays us, never you. So what do you get for coming through us. The whole market instead of one catalogue, someone who tells you which of them actually fits your group, and someone in the resort while you are here.

One person, and you get his name and his number before you arrive, not a shared inbox. Sonny Ubertalli was born and raised in Courchevel and has worked over 14 years in luxury hospitality. He is in the resort for the whole winter, so he is there during your stay and not only for the booking. That is what counts on the days that go wrong: a Saturday changeover that slips, a flight that lands late, a boiler that stops at seven in the morning. Once your week is booked, the number you hold is his own rather than a duty desk. Call it at two in the morning and he answers. He will not promise you a plumber at that hour, because nobody can. What he promises is that you reach him, and that he tells you what happens next.

There are none on this site, and that is deliberate. We run no review system here, we publish no selected quotes, and there is no star rating on any page. A review you can only read on the seller's own site is worth very little, and we would rather show you nothing than show you that. In August 2026 we also took a satisfied guests counter off this site, because no source stood behind the number. What is left on these pages is meant to be checkable: live prices, distances in metres, a VAT number, and terms you can read before you pay.

Fewer than the word usually suggests, and we would rather say so here than let you find out on the first morning. We take ski-in ski-out to mean stepping out of the door onto the piste, not a hundred metres and a shuttle. On the 129 properties whose door-to-piste distance is actually recorded, 54 sit 50 metres or less from a piste, and 13 of those are chalets rather than apartments. The remaining 116 properties carry no distance at all and are left out of that count rather than treated as zero. Measured on 12 September 2026. Courchevel advertises 90 percent of its accommodation as ski-in/ski-out; we count only the ones with a number against them, and that number is 54. Our ski-in ski-out collection lists them.

Many of our luxury chalets feature complete wellness facilities: indoor swimming pools, hot tubs, hammam, sauna, and massage rooms. Our chalets with spa offer the ultimate après-ski experience. We can also arrange professional therapists for in-chalet treatments.

Our fully serviced chalets in Courchevel include dedicated staff: private chef (breakfast and dinner), daily housekeeping, butler service, and in-resort chauffeur. Additional services like ski instructors, childcare, and spa treatments can be arranged through us.

Courchevel 1850 is the most prestigious village, home to the finest boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants, and the most exclusive addresses. Courchevel Moriond (1650) offers a more relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with excellent skiing, and it costs less than 1850 at the same service standard. Both provide direct access to the full Three Valleys ski area.

For families, we often recommend Courchevel Moriond, La Tania, or Courchevel Village. These areas offer gentler slopes, excellent ski schools, and a more relaxed pace. La Tania's car-free centre is particularly popular with families with young children.

All Courchevel villages offer excellent ski access to the Three Valleys, 600km of interconnected pistes. Courchevel 1850 provides the most central access to challenging terrain. For families or mixed-ability groups, Moriond offers excellent intermediate skiing with easy connections throughout the domain.

Everything that surrounds the property: airport transfers, private ski instructors, restaurant reservations, spa treatments, childcare, equipment delivery, helicopter excursions, and custom experiences. As local experts, we have relationships throughout Courchevel that make sure priority access.

Yes. We work with the finest ski instructors in Courchevel, from ESF professionals to independent guides. Whether for children's lessons, adult coaching, or off-piste adventures, we match you with instructors suited to your goals and ability level.

Absolutely. Securing tables at Courchevel's best restaurants, Le Chabichou, Le 1947, Bagatelle, Azimut, requires local connections. Our restaurant booking service ensures you experience Courchevel's excellent gastronomy without the difficulty of obtaining reservations independently.

Yes. We coordinate private transfers from Geneva, Lyon, and Chambéry airports. Our drivers know the mountain roads and provide luxury vehicles suited to alpine conditions. Helicopter transfers can also be arranged for the ultimate arrival experience.

Because the search goes wider than one platform and one catalogue. A listing site shows you what has been loaded onto it. We work across the owners and the agencies in the resort, and part of what we place is never listed publicly at all. Then there is everything after the booking: one person in the resort, by name, while you are here. What we will not claim is that we have walked through all 240+ properties in the catalogue. Nobody has. Ask about the one you are looking at and you will get what we know about it, and what we do not.

Not the way most sites answer this. The catalogue holds 240+ properties and we have not walked through every one of them, so we are not going to tell you we have. What is checked is the data you decide on: the price is live, the distances to the piste and the lift are in metres and come from the property record, and availability is checked against the real calendar rather than hidden behind a form. Some of these places we know first hand, and for those we will tell you things that are not written on the page. Ask about the chalet you are looking at and you get one of two answers: what we know, or that we do not know yet.

Yes, one person rather than a team, and he works the winter season here. What that gives you is not a slogan. It is knowing which side of a village suits a family with small children, which chalets get the afternoon sun on the terrace, and which table is worth the trouble on a Saturday night in February. The company details, the registered address and the VAT number, sit further up this page in the answer on who you contract with.
