Apartment Hourglass

Situated in the heart of the world-renowned Courchevel 1850, Apartment Hourglass enjoys an enviable location within one of the most prestigious ski resorts in the French Alps. This alpine gem is not just a place to stay; it's a gateway to a winter wonderland filled with sporting facilities, attractions, and amenities that cater to every taste and interest.

Courchevel 1850 is synonymous with world-class skiing, and this apartment places you at the epicentre of it all. With direct access to the world's largest ski area, Les Trois Vallées, you're surrounded by over 600 kilometres of meticulously groomed slopes, providing endless opportunities for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. The apartment's ski locker ensures your equipment is always at hand, and the proximity of the slopes means you can easily ski in and ski out.

Beyond the thrill of the slopes, Courchevel 1850 offers a wealth of activities. For those with a penchant for winter sports, there's snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and ice skating. The region's extensive network of trails is perfect for those who prefer exploring the snow-covered landscape on foot. At the same time, snowmobile tours and paragliding adventures allow you to take in the breathtaking mountain views from new heights.

For the non-skiers or those looking to unwind after a day on the slopes, Courchevel 1850 is a winter wonderland in itself. The charming Alpine village is filled with upscale boutiques, Michelin-starred restaurants, and cosy apres-ski bars. Afternoons can be spent strolling through the picturesque streets, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere, and indulging in culinary delights. The apartment's proximity to the village centre means you're just a short walk away from these enticing options.

Courchevel also boasts a world-class aquatic centre, Aquamotion, which includes swimming pools, a wellness area, and even an indoor surfing wave. The centre is perfect for relaxation or for keeping the little ones entertained.

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 Three 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.
