Chalet Roys enjoys a prime location in the heart of the world-famous Courchevel resort. This exclusive resort is part of the larger Three Valleys ski area, which boasts over 600km of beautiful pistes and over 200 lifts, making it one of the largest and most diverse ski areas in the world.
To get Chalet Roys, the easiest method is to fly into one of the nearby airports like Geneva or Lyon, before arranging for a transfer to the resort. Taxis, shared transfers, and private rental services are readily available at both locations for your convenience.
There are also direct train services from Paris to nearby Moutiers, which is only a twenty-five-minute drive away from the resort. Once in the resort, Chalet Roys is easily accessible and only a short walk from the village and ski slopes.
During the winter season, Courchevel is a haven for winter sports enthusiasts, with endless opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, and more. The resort is made up of several different villages, each with its own unique atmosphere and charm. Courchevel 1850 is the most prestigious and offers a wide range of luxury boutiques, fine-dining restaurants, and world-class spas, while Courchevel 1650 is more laid-back, with a relaxed atmosphere and a focus on family-friendly activities. Courchevel 1550, where Chalet Roys is located, remains quite traditional and offers a cosy authentic alpine experience.
For non-skiers, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy in the area such as snowshoeing, ice skating, and dog sledding. In the village centres, Courchevel also boasts a wide range of restaurants, ranging from Michelin-starred fine dining to casual mountain diners, as well as a lively après-ski scene.
The Region
Courchevel is made up of six satellite villages, each with their own distinct style and atmosphere, and picturesque forest roads to lead you in-between. Most well known is the illustrious Courchevel 1850 with its reputation for exclusivity and an A-List clientele. 1850 is certainly the place to go for five-star hotels, swanky bars and extravagant nightlife.
The other Courchevel villages (such as Courchevel Moriond) have a much more laid back vibe and are certainly the more affordable choice.
The skiing in Courchevel is split into four levels and you can take an excellent free ski bus in between. At the resort itself you have 150 kilometres of pistes at your feet and while you can get a Courchevel lift-pass you can also ski the whole of the
3 Valleys with an area-pass. Since the slopes here face north, the snow at Courchevel is more reliable than elsewhere in the Three Valleys.
Courchevel pistes are absolutely unrivaled, meticulously maintained and perfectly positioned to align with the landscape.
With its highest lift at 2740m altitude, Courchevel is exceptionally good for high altitude skiing with incredible alpine views, and the most impressive runs are best suited for intermediate and advanced skiers.
But for the little ones just finding their snow legs, the resort has a fantastic children’s village where they can learn in a stress-free environment. Ski season here lasts until late April and even if you prefer not to ski at all, you’ll be well entertained with everything from scenic walks to classical music concerts.
In the evenings, the Courchevel night skies are lit up by spectacular firework displays that could get anyone in the mood for a night on the town. The bars here are a good mix of casual and upmarket, so there’s plenty for all tastes to enjoy when it comes to après-ski.
Courchevel also has a well-earned reputation for being the best ski resort when it comes to gastronomy.
