Holiday Rental Description

Clip straight into your skis and ratchet up those bindings at this stunning slopeside apartment. Split across two levels, on the ground and lower ground floors of a beautifully constructed apartment building, this spectacular five-bedroom home is just a ten-minute stroll from the centre of Courchevel Le Praz.

Whether you're searching for fantastic snow conditions or prefer to hike and bike through verdant alpine valleys over the warmer months, this apartment is a four-season family retreat. The open layout of the wood-clad interior entices you to spend time together as a group, sharing stories of the day's adventures by the fireside or around the dining table.

Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors flood the space with natural light and offer direct access to the garden so you can enjoy that warm spring and summer sunshine. Three of the five snug bedrooms also benefit from panoramic panes of glass that open out to the outdoors, allowing you to check the day's conditions from the comfort of your bed.

The lowest of Courchevel's four main villages, Le Praz, shows off a different side of Courchevel. Best known for its glitz and glamour, Le Praz offers a more authentic alpine village atmosphere. Fast and efficient lifts link you to Courchevel 1850, with tree-lined runs back down the mountain that are ideal for bad weather days. And after a day on the slopes, why not enjoy a soothing sauna and soak in the hot tub? Afterwards refuel in nearby restaurants serving everything from the finest cheese fondues to Michelin-starred menus.


Home truths:
*Check yourself in on arrival with the keypad
*There's a new construction project ongoing next to the apartment – there will be no work during the winter season, but the view is slightly impeded
*The neighbours are known to be early birds, so please keep noise to a minimum in the evening
*Two of the bedrooms are on the lower ground level – there is some natural light offered by the skylights, but no external windows
*The proximity of the piste means that a car isn't necessary here – however, there's a covered garage with a heated access ramp should you need it
*The majority of the apartment is located on the ground floor, so it may be suitable for those with more limited mobility
