The George Clooney of the Courchevel bars is the Piano Bar: housed across a number of hushed rooms, discerning drinkers warm themselves by the roaring open fireplace or prop up the bar, a sexy scene that’s offset perfectly by the tinkling of a baby grand in the background. Perfumed sweets are served at lunchtime, while vintage spirits are bought out each evening; a library and smoking room add to its cachet, while only the coolest cocktails are whipped up at the bar.
