Description
Let the luxury of the chic alpine décor transport you to ultimate relaxation at Chalet Carat. With the slopes just a short walk away and the town a stone’s throw by car, it’s easy to explore all that Courchevel 1850 has to offer. Chalet Carat marries traditional charm, with elegant, modern furnishings throughout the three floors, and the homely colour palette makes you feel at ease the minute you walk inside.
The main chalet sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms. There’s a sociable outdoor terrace area, shared by two of the bedrooms – perfect for a mid-evening tipple before dinner. The rooms are dressed in a cool, calming palate, and the daily turndown service means you’ll be slipping into a freshly made bed every night, certain to send you off to dreamland after a big day on the slopes. If this isn’t enough space, there’s even an additional cosy apartment attached via the shared underground garage sleeping an extra two guests.
Chalet Carat is the perfect space for loved ones to come together for a special holiday. The elegant open plan kitchen, dining and living area found on the top floor is kitted out with all the modern facilities you would desire for your stay. The chalet exudes warmth, if it’s not the natural light from the floor to ceiling windows, it’s the crackle and pop of the open fireplace, calling you to curl up next to after dinner.
The entire lower ground floor of Chalet Carat is dedicated to rest, relaxation and entertainment. The marble style indoor swimming pool is a real feature. Not to mention the surrounding bar and spa area with a sauna. This is a haven for adults and kids alike. Adults can enjoy soaking tired muscles and sipping delicious cocktails at the bar whilst the kids splash around in the pool or make use of the home cinema just next door.
Lift passes, ski hire, ski lessons, and restaurant bookings are easily organised without you having to lift a finger. Head out from your private ski locker to the capable hands of your ski instructor who is included in your stay for the first two days (when booked on a catered basis). This will help you get to grips with the local area and focus on improving your skills right at the start of your holiday. Come with high expectations. You won’t be disappointed.
Please note that there is a 2-week minimum over the Christmas and New Year period.

Dining
Your talented chalet chef and dedicated chalet host will make sure you’re well fed and watered with exceptional food and drinks throughout your stay.
You can expect everything to be just as you like it, from the hearty daily breakfast served, to the wonderful dining experience. Upon your return from the slopes in the afternoon all rosy cheeked, a yummy afternoon tea is served to nip those hunger cravings in the bud and see you through to dinner. The little details are taken seriously here.
You can expect four-course dining six nights a week, including pre-dinner Champagne and delicious canapés to kick start each evening meal. Every bottle of wine is carefully selected to compliment your courses perfectly. If you’re more into spirits, we’ve got you covered, with three bottles of complimentary house spirits to choose from.
You’ll have one evening a week to sample the local restaurants and your concierge service will be more than happy to make recommendations and bookings for you.
