Description
Shemshak Lodge is a beautifully finished chalet with a large open plan living/dining area and a wonderful open fireplace at its centre. The picture windows give stunning views of the mountain peaks and guests can watch skiers glide down the slopes from this ski-in/ski-out luxury chalet. A top London designer has given the chalet an alpine-chic edge with luxurious materials and elegant furnishings.
The icing on the cake is its position. Shemshak Lodge is close to the centre of Courchevel 1850 as well as being right on the piste. Guests can ski directly from the door to explore the huge 3 Valleys ski area with ease.
Downstairs there is an entire floor dedicated to relaxation, with a superb large indoor swimming pool, a Jacuzzi, a sauna and Hammam – just the thing to soothe those aching muscles. And if you haven’t pushed yourself hard enough, there is also a gym packed with state-of-the-art equipment.
Shemshak Lodge sleeps up to thirteen guests in five lovely bedrooms. Finished in soft tones and cool greys the rooms have an understated, yet stylish look, and all have en-suite bathrooms.
For entertainment, this luxury ski chalet features Sky TV, and Apple TV plus a Kaleidescape media system as well as plenty of games, books and toys.
The professional team of staff will take care of every detail, with your butler acting as your private concierge – lift passes brought to you while you relax, a chauffeur to pick you up from town if you don’t fancy skiing back and delicious homemade cakes after each day’s skiing. The service is superb and nothing is too much trouble for the friendly team to make sure your stay is perfect.

Reviews
Sunday Times – Shemshak Lodge Courchevel ‘set, piste-side in gazillionaire’s playground’
Fraser Yacht Magazine (Winter, 2010) – ‘Built right on the edge of the plantrey piste two minutes from Courchevel 1850, yet set back on a private road and surrounded by trees, it is the ultimate ski-in ski-out chalet hideaway.’
