Why Nogentil
Nogentil is where Courchevel 1850 lives when it's not performing for visitors. The year-round residents — the chalet managers, the mountain guides, the restaurant owners — make their homes here. That produces something rare in a luxury ski resort: a genuine neighbourhood feel, with an unhurried pace and a sense that the place exists for more than a season.
For guests, Nogentil means a 5-minute walk to the Croisette and the main lift infrastructure, and a 4-6 minute walk to the best restaurants in 1850. You are central without being in the tourist centre. You are in 1850 without paying the Jardin Alpin premium.
The properties are predominantly renovated traditional chalets — timber and stone, often with contemporary interiors behind traditional facades. Many have been updated within the last decade, with spa suites, wine cellars, and cinema rooms that match anything in Jardin Alpin at a meaningfully lower price.
Returning guests who've stayed in Bellecôte and Jardin Alpin often settle on Nogentil. They've seen the prestige addresses; now they want the real place.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Nogentil sector of Courchevel 1850?
Nogentil is the residential heart of Courchevel 1850 — the part of the village where families who live there year-round actually have their homes. It sits just below the main village plateau, quieter than Bellecôte and less elevated than Jardin Alpin, with a genuinely local character that repeat Courchevel visitors often prefer after their first few seasons in the prestige areas.
How far is Nogentil from the Courchevel 1850 ski lifts?
Nogentil is approximately 5 minutes on foot from the Croisette lift area, which is the main hub for Courchevel 1850 and provides access to the entire Three Valleys network. There is no direct ski-in ski-out access from most Nogentil properties, but the walk to the lifts is short and flat.
Is Nogentil good value compared to Jardin Alpin?
Consistently. Nogentil properties typically run 15–25% below comparable Jardin Alpin chalets in price, for equivalent build quality and interior finish. The difference is location prestige and the absence of ski-in access — not the quality of the property itself. For guests whose priority is the chalet experience over the address, Nogentil offers excellent value.
What types of properties are available in Nogentil?
Nogentil has a good mix of traditional alpine chalets (many renovated within the last decade) and a smaller number of more contemporary builds. Properties range from 3 to 6 bedrooms, with a substantial proportion offering private saunas, hot tubs, and some with full indoor spas. Self-catered and catered options are both available.
Who typically books Nogentil chalets?
Returning Courchevel guests who know the resort well and prioritise chalet quality and value over address prestige. Families who want a quieter environment. Guests who combine luxury skiing with a genuine sense of being 'in the village' rather than in an isolated luxury compound.
