THE ALPINE ADDRESS FOR THE DISCERNING TRAVELLER
Contributor — Four Hundred by Design
Set on the slopes of Courchevel 1650 in the exclusive Belvédère district, Ultima Hotel Courchevel combines the service of a five-star hotel with the privacy and space of a private residence. With direct ski-in/ski-out access to the Three Valleys, the world's largest ski area, the property offers a distinctly private setting within one of the Alps' most celebrated destinations. Courchevel 1850, with its restaurants, boutiques, and lively après-ski scene, is also just a short chauffeur-driven journey away.
ALPINE DESIGN WITH A RESIDENTIAL FEEL
Across its 13 private chalets, Ultima Hotel Courchevel combines traditional alpine architecture with contemporary interiors. Reclaimed wood, Chesterfield leather, nubuck, hand-selected fabrics, and bronze-clad fireplaces create warm, layered spaces that feel refined without becoming overly formal.
Each chalet maintains the property's signature aesthetic while retaining its own individual character. Tactile materials, soft lighting, and carefully selected furnishings create interiors designed to feel more like sophisticated alpine homes than traditional hotel accommodations.
PRIVATE CHALETS WITH MOUNTAIN VIEWS
The residences range from two- to five-bedroom chalets, each with marble spa-style bathrooms, dressing rooms, fireplaces, and private balconies overlooking the surrounding mountains. Signature and Grand Chalets offer additional living space, including separate dining and living areas, libraries, and private terraces.
Each residence is individually furnished and decorated, with details such as premium bedding and pillow menus adding to the residential character. The layouts accommodate both intimate stays and larger gatherings, including multigenerational trips.
WELLNESS IN THE MOUNTAINS
Two mountain-view spas, located within the North and South Resorts, provide spaces dedicated to recovery and relaxation. Indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, hammams, sensory showers, and fully equipped gyms are complemented by treatments developed in partnership with wellness specialists including Augustinus Bader and Seed to Skin Tuscany.
Personal training and tailored wellness programmes are also available, with an emphasis on recovery following time on the slopes. The combination of mountain views, thermal facilities, and restorative treatments creates a natural extension of the alpine experience.
DINING IN THE PRIVACY OF THE CHALET
Dining at Ultima Hotel Courchevel follows the property's residential approach. Breakfast is prepared by a personal chef in each chalet, while evening meals can range from bespoke dinners served by the fire to artisanal cheese selections accompanied by wines chosen by a sommelier.
The hotel's bar provides another setting for cocktails and conversation, while the private dining experience allows meals to unfold within the chalet itself. Across each setting, the culinary programme emphasizes the same attention to detail associated with fine dining while maintaining the privacy of a private residence.
BEYOND THE SLOPES
The experience at Ultima Hotel Courchevel extends beyond traditional alpine activities. Guests can explore the Three Valleys through exclusive ski touring experiences, while seasonal programming introduces additional outdoor and wellness activities throughout the year.
With its ski-in/ski-out setting, private chalets, expansive wellness facilities, and residential approach to dining and hospitality, Ultima Hotel Courchevel offers a distinctive interpretation of alpine living. The result is a setting where the grandeur of Courchevel is balanced by privacy, personal space, and a strong sense of home in the mountains.
