Chalet La Datcha 1850

The wood and stone façade of Chalet La Datcha 1850 peeks out from amid the powder. At first sight it looks just like a traditional Savoyard chalet, but the sleek contours of the balconies offer a hint at the luxurious modernity of the interiors. The pure mountain sunshine filters in through the huge bay windows, flooding the spacious living room with light. Throughout the chalet, the contemporary design scheme is accented with sophisticated details. Delicate chandeliers spill down from the sloping ceilings like precious stalactites. The wallpaper around the fireplace features colourful Russian motifs, the silver coffee table is flanked by a phalanx of artfully-mismatched armchairs, and the walls are clad in subtle tiled patterns.

After a full day on the slopes of Courchevel, unwind in the private spa or swim a few lengths of the pool, with its arctic glacier design. In the evening, gather round the fireplace for a glass of champagne before heading off for dinner at Génépi, a stone’s throw from the chalet. In the plush, intimate surroundings of the restaurant, treat yourself to some exquisite caviar or a rack of lamb smoked with mountain hay. On the way home, call in at the Forum ice rink to check the score in the ice hockey match.
