Description

This recently revamped luxury ski hotel offers the holy grail of luxury ski holidays – ski-in/ski-out accommodation in one of the most desirable locations in the French Alps. Totally rebuilt and upgraded, the renowned Hotel Portetta in Courchevel 1650 is still as relaxed and family friendly as ever.

Offering 38 sumptuous rooms plus six spacious lofts in the penthouse, you’re spoilt for choice for accommodation at this luxury ski hotel with spa.

Rich mahogany furnishings, alpine luxe fabrics, cosy blankets and subdued lighting set the laid back vibe.

Bookings can be made on a bed and breakfast, half-board or full-board basis. Whichever you choose you’ll enjoy meals at Cucina Angelina, the exciting new venture from famous British chef, Angela Hartnett.

For those who can’t bear to be away from the action, there’s Fire and Ice, Hotel Portetta’s own après ski hotspot. It looks directly onto Belvedere, the main slope into Courchevel 1650.

Offering the largest outdoor terrace bar in Courchevel Moriond, you can enjoy café au lait or something stronger along with freshly made wood fired pizzas at the bottom of the piste.

After a long day on the slopes, you’ll find solace in this luxury ski hotel’s wonderful spa, where you can choose from a range of treatments, using Bamford, Oskia and Opi products.

With such a central location, you’re ideally placed for exploring the buzzing surrounding areas. It’s a two minute walk from the ski lift from where you can travel up to Courchevel 1850. When you’re not gliding down the slopes, you can visit the upmarket boutiques dotted around nearby.

Another trip worth making is to Aquamotion, Courchevel’s new swimming and wellness complex. It offers five pools, a climbing and rope wall, indoor surf wave and a wellness and spa area, all with mountain views.
