New Year's Eve in a luxury chalet in Courchevel

When the countdown happens by the fireplace, champagne in hand, snow-capped peaks as a backdrop.

The magic of winter at its peak

Courchevel at New Year is another dimension of luxury. The chalets are illuminated, the wooden facades glitter under fresh snow, and at midnight the deserted slopes give way to a silence broken only by the crackle of fireworks. Champagne is sipped beneath alpine stars, in that pure, icy air that makes every moment sharper.

As the highest resort in the Trois Vallées, Courchevel combines guaranteed altitude, abundant snow and a unique concentration of exceptional addresses. For the réveillon, it is quite simply one of the finest stages in Europe.

Our New Year's Eve experience, from A to Z

Our concierge orchestrates every detail of your evening:

  • The dinner: Michelin-starred chef at home, seven-course menu with wine pairings, fine porcelain and crystal service, a dedicated sommelier.
  • The show: the resort fireworks visible from the chalet terrace, a private DJ or live musician to keep the celebration going.
  • The next day: a late brunch, the first run on nearly empty slopes, a private spa to recover gently.

The aim is simple: that you have nothing to think about but the present moment and those sharing it with you.

The chalets for New Year

Our New Year chalets accommodate 10 to 24 guests. All feature a vast reception area with fireplace, a full spa — pool, sauna, hammam — and a heated ski room. Household staff provide 24/7 service throughout the festive period: housekeeper, butler, sometimes a chauffeur, so the magic is never interrupted by logistics.

The finest addresses combine a ski-in ski-out location with an open view over the valley, ideal for admiring the fireworks without leaving the terrace.

The art of celebrating at altitude

A chalet réveillon is unique in blending the intimacy of a home with the excellence of a great restaurant. You move from the lounge, where the fire crackles, to a table set as if for a palace hotel, then to the spa for a few lengths under the stars. The children have their babysitter, the adults their sommelier, and everyone finds their own rhythm.

On the morning of 1 January, the mountain offers its finest gift: immaculate slopes, bright sun, and the rare feeling of having the ski area to yourself.
