If you’re into skiing, snowboarding and relaxing in an awe-inspiring natural habitat, then consider the following luxury chalets that are perfect for unwinding and enjoying fun times during your winter trip.
Courchevel 1850, France
Courchevel in France is a recognised world-class ski resort and is part of the Three Valleys ski domain and covers at least 600km of marked ski runs. When it comes to luxury, Courchevel is up there with the best.
It offers perfectly groomed pistes, state of the art lift system to some of the world’s top-quality restaurants, exclusive deluxe hotels and chalets and more.
One of the most luxurious chalets in the region is the 5 star Le Petit Palais chalet which has everything you can dream of. It’s located on the Bellecote slope and it offers all the comforts one may look for, from a modern spa and gym area to a large living room and large swimming pool designed to make its residents unwind after a long day skiing on the slopes.
Courchevel 1850 is a place to suit the needs of skiers and non-skiers also. Skiing or snowboarding can be one of the most challenging and rewarding things you do on a holiday, but for those who aren’t the best skiers or snowboarders may seem less rewarding. This is not entirely the case since there are so many other things that replace the feeling of not enjoying your skiing experience.
Activities like visiting the mountain restaurants and enjoying an alpine lunch on the top of the world. You could try parapenting and see the mountainous region from a bird’s eye view. Then you have the Apres Ski which is somewhat a dancing event with live music and plenty of drinks. If these activities fail to impress, then there are many other activities to be done in the chalets.
