A Culinary Masterpiece
At Cheval Blanc Courchevel, gastronomy is an art form.

With just five tables, this intimate dining experience is as exclusive as it is unforgettable. Each meal is a meticulously orchestrated journey, featuring a progression of inventive plates over several hours.
Beyond fine dining, guests can enjoy outdoor indulgence at the newly opened Le Terrace. Here, prime cuts sizzle on the grill, Ruinart champagne flows, and the stunning alpine backdrop enhances every bite. Whether dining indoors or out, the culinary experiences here are as memorable as the slopes themselves.

Facilities include an infinity-edge pool, ice plunge pool, sauna, steam room, and the exclusive Orchidée Salon, dedicated to anti-aging skincare.
The spa’s design, inspired by natural elements, features rock and tree motifs alongside sleek, contemporary finishes. Mirrored ceilings and a warm ambiance create a tranquil escape. Guests can also take advantage of après-ski massages to soothe tired muscles, ensuring they’re ready for another day of alpine adventures.
Tailored Experiences
