Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges Courchevel
Slope-style in a cosy Alpine spot

Nestled at the foot of the south-facing Bellecôte slope, amid the vast Trois Vallées, this cosy Alpine chalet shoulders its way in amid the ultra-decadence on offer in Courchevel. Offering a cosseting space to base oneself in amid some of the world's finest skiing, here pale woods, silken fabrics and a crackling open fire set the mood, with contemporary furnishings to plop oneself down in. In addition to the Spa Diane Barrière, with its hammam and custom treatments designed for high-altitude conditions, a private cinema room and a pair of eateries beckon, the B Fire by Mauro Colagreco an eye-catcher for its Argentinian asado grill cooking.
