L'Apogee Courchevel

The Destination

L’Apogée Courchevel enjoys a prime location in the heart of the French Alps, surrounded by peaceful woodlands and offering panoramic views of the valley. Its serenity provides a true mountain atmosphere, away from the hustle and bustle, while still being just steps away from the slopes. As a ski-in/ski-out property, it’s the perfect base for exploring the Three Valleys, the largest ski area in the world, with 600 km of slopes and 172 ski lifts.

Accommodations - Unmatched Comfort

The hotel features 53 spacious suites and rooms, each designed with individualism and a touch of Alpine charm. Families are particularly well catered to, with larger rooms, interconnecting options, and dedicated spaces like the five-bedroom chalet or the four-bedroom penthouse.

Deluxe Rooms:
Great for couples who prioritize Courchevel’s outdoor pursuits, the entry-level Deluxe Rooms are anything but basic. With an average footprint of 312 square feet, they’re the most spacious rooms in this category across the resort. Think plush bedding, warm wood accents, and a cozy yet refined atmosphere. While they may feel snug compared to the hotel’s larger suites, they’re designed to be a welcoming haven after a day on the slopes.

One-Bedroom Suites:
For those craving more space, the One-Bedroom Suites are a game-changer. At 753 square feet, these suites feel more like a private chalet than a hotel room. The bathroom is a heavenly retreat, scented with Diptyque lotions, but the real star of the show is the view. Step onto your private balcony, robe up, and embrace the crisp air as you sip your morning juice or toast with Champagne at sunset. It’s pure magic.

The Penthouse:
Occupying the entire top floor of the hotel, the Four-Bedroom Penthouse is designed for intergenerational groups or seasoned skiers traveling in style. This sprawling retreat features bespoke furnishings, a gold-tiled bathroom, and a host of wellness amenities, including a sauna, steam room, whirlpool bath, and an outdoor hot tub.

Private Chalets:
For those seeking complete privacy, L’Apogée Courchevel offers five-bedroom chalets that combine the warmth of a mountain home with the sophistication of a five-star hotel. These standalone retreats are ideal for families or groups, offering ample space, luxurious finishes, and all the amenities you’d expect from a world-class resort.

Whether you’re curling up in a Deluxe Room or hosting a soirée in the Penthouse, every accommodation is designed to make you feel at home—albeit a home with unparalleled views, impeccable service, and a touch of glamour.

Dining

Le Comptoir de L’Apogée:
The culinary heart of the hotel, Le Comptoir de L’Apogée, transforms throughout the day to suit the rhythm of your Alpine adventure. Mornings begin with a continental spread that feels like a feast for the senses. Delicious stacks of French pastries, fresh fruits, and artisanal cheeses are replenished as guests circle the bar, filling their plates.

By evening, the space becomes one of the resort’s chicest destination restaurants. The dress code shifts from ski gear to designer dresses and dinner jackets, creating an atmosphere of understated glamour. The menu is a love letter to French cuisine, with dishes like Burgundy snails, Vol au vent morel and veal sweetbread, and Chicken surpem Normande style flambed with Calvados and apple. Don’t miss the beef tartare, prepared tableside for a bit of an extra performance. Each dish is a masterpiece, like the Sole Belle Meunière cooked on the bone, with parsley and lemon.

Le Bar de L’Apogée:
For a more casual yet equally stylish experience, head to Le Bar de L’Apogée. This chic spot is the perfect place to unwind after a day on the slopes, with expertly crafted cocktails, fine wines, and a cozy ambiance. It’s the height of après-ski glamour, where you can sip a glass of Champagne by the fire or toast to the day’s adventures with friends.

Koori:
For a taste of the East in the heart of the Alps, Koori offers an exquisite Japanese dining experience. Helmed by elite sushi masters, the restaurant serves up delicate sashimi, perfectly rolled sushi, and other Japanese specialties in a sleek, modern setting.
