Haute Hospitality

The brothers behind Iconic House have done it again, this time 100 meters from the slopes of Les Trois Vallées, with an independent luxury chalet all granite, woodsy and cozy. Shearling, woolen and cool painted wood interiors offer a new take on the classic Alpine ski chalet.

With services including breakfast, afternoon tea, housekeeping, and a mini 4x4, plus an in-house spa, heated pool, saunas, hammam and gym for après ski unwinding, this slope-side chalet in Courchevel’s Les Brigues quarter ensures an effortless ski vacation for the whole family. Adults can do some private glamping around the stunning interior firepit—a glass-enclosed, contemporary fireplace atop a massive slab of the neighboring mountain. Kids will thrill in the rock climbing, tipi-outfitted playroom. And everyone can relax in the in-home cinema or panoramic Jacuzzi, and rely on Iconic House’s trademark, private house manager to make each stay effortless.

AROUND

This vacation home rental in France is located in Les Trois Vallées. The world’s largest ski area, perched at altitudes between 1,300 and 3,200 meters, it encompasses seven ski resorts: Courchevel, Meribel, Brides-les-Bains, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Vals Thorens, and Orelle. With 600 kilometers of runs, about half green and blue, it’s a great spot for families and groups of friends who ski at different levels. Take one of the resort’s 158 lifts to one of its 25 summits, and pick your line. Or follow an itinerary that takes that lets you ski the area’s 10 most panoramic views, including staggering Mont Blanc. Go off piste and cut your own route, or arrange for a wilder ride in the back country, either following a classic itinerary or a professional guide.

Nights out can mean reservations at one of 12 Michelin-starred restaurants, or a family circle around a steaming pot of rich local fondue. (You can ski or walk it off tomorrow!) Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing tobogganing, even dog-sledding will keep the non-skiers busy. Warmer season activities include vigorous hiking, mountain climbing, mountain biking, and exploring the traditional mountain villages and pastures, or splashing in the envigorating waters of glacial streams or clear mountain lakes. Spring and fall foraging will fill buckets with berries, mushrooms, and curative herbs. And holidays—Christmas and Easter—are festive, enchanting affairs that engage the entire region.
