Description
If you appreciate art and design, this luxury ski chalet in Courchevel 1850 will rock your boat. The leitmotif of Art Chalet is creative extravagance, and the place is heaving with beautiful works of art and limited edition designer furniture.
Everything about Art Chalet is spectacular. From the waterfall swimming pool surrounded by 4 flat screen TVs, to the grand piano in the music area. Imagine the most luxurious features a chalet could offer…. A private nightclub with state-of-the-art DJ equipment? Sleek glass elevators? A team of staff including private chef? A cinema room? A games room? A wine cellar? Yes. You guessed it. Art Chalet has all this and more.
Climb aboard your private, chauffeured vehicle to be transported to your mansion at the side of the Bellecote piste, among the trees above Courchevel. Let the attentive team of live-in chalet staff pamper you with champagne and canapés as you take in your magnificent surroundings. Relax in sublime comfort as your private chef prepares an aromatic meal and the manager makes all your arrangements.
With seven floors of total indulgence at your disposal, you’d be forgiven for forgetting to get out onto the slopes. But in-between the wonderful meals, cinema screenings, parties in the nightclub, and massage sessions in the spa, you really should do some skiing. Or, for non-skiers, there’s a whole world to explore in the resort.
Art Chalet may look fairly traditional (in a supersized way) but the metal sculpture by the door offers a clue to the flamboyance within. Privacy and security are of great importance and the chalet has a sophisticated security system. The live-in staff have their own quarters with a separate entrance, so that guests can relax and make themselves at home.
Sculptures, paintings, lithographies and drawings by artists such as Picasso and Warhol are liberally scattered throughout Art Chalet. Even the light fittings are art installations, and the Japanese toilets are a stylish touch. Secretly, you will be glad of a bad weather day when you can stay home and play in your fabulous mountain mansion.

Kids
Well, the kids might not appreciate a painting by Jean Miro, but they will definitely appreciate the gadgets and toys in Art Chalet. The dedicated children’s playroom is like a treasure trove for little ones, and older kids will love the pool table and high tech games.
Art Chalet is so big that your children will be constantly discovering new nooks and crannies, and whizzing up and down in the lifts. Once you’ve rounded them up, you can have ski passes, boot fittings and lessons all arranged by the chalet staff, making the whole process of taking the kids skiing a smooth, hassle-free experience. They won’t even have to walk to and from the ski lifts, as there is a chauffeured car on hand.
Parents can relax and enjoy a leisurely dinner whilst the little ones watch a movie in the cinema room, or enjoy a supervised evening swim. Your team of chalet staff can also suggest lots of exciting activities from tobogganing to skidoo rides and make all the arrangements on your behalf. Plus, if you need daytime childcare or an evening of babysitting when you want to go out, you only have to ask.
