There are 34 rooms in total at Chevel Blanc, each with its own views of the mountains; arguably one of the best places to stay in Courchevel is the top-floor chalet which comes with its own dedicated butler service. Downstairs on the ground floor the White Bar and 1947 restaurant menus cater to even the most discerning diners, with mouthwatering menus crafted by none other than three-star Michelin chef Yannic Alleno; try his specialty, the truffled chicken in a bottle.

New this season is the sausage cellar, where deli products from all over Europe are kept in controlled conditions. Wrapping things up nicely is the hotel’s in-house spa; all you need to know is that it was voted the best hotel spa in Europe in 2008, and it hasn’t rested on its laurels.
