15 Chic Courchevel Hotels for the Ultimate French Ski Escape | Condé Nast Traveler

"Down in less flashy 1650, this ski-in/ski-out base at the end of the Belvédère piste channels the easy country-house warmth of its UK sister hotels with parquet floors, beams, merlot-hued rugs, gingham banquettes, and just enough taxidermy to spark conversation over backgammon and early gin and tonics. Piste View rooms reward dawn patrols; families can take separate lodges or open-plan lofts with crackling fires; and Scott Dunn’s outdoorsy Kids’ Club plus a ski school opposite streamlines mornings. Chef Angela Harnett’s Cucina Angelina blends Italian comfort with Savoyard classics—housemade pastas and linger-worthy tiramisu—while the Fire and Ice Bar fuels civilized après with wood-fired pizzas, Génépi shots, and Pistes Rouges." - Rosalyn Wikeley
