Where a chalet sits in the resort matters as much as what is inside it, and the luxury chalets in Courchevel are spread across four main quarters.
Jardin Alpin is the most exclusive of them. Set among pine woods above the village and served by its own gondola, it is quiet, entirely ski-in ski-out, and home to several of the palace hotels alongside the largest private chalets. It suits parties who want seclusion and do not mind the short drive down to the centre in the evening.
Bellecôte and Nogentil sit directly on the piste of the same name, a short walk or ski from the centre. These are the classic ski-in ski-out family addresses, close enough to walk into the village but with slopeside access from the door.
La Croisette is the heart of Courchevel 1850, where the main lifts, the boutiques, the bars and the ski schools all meet. Best for groups who want to walk everywhere and be in the middle of the evening.
Cospillot lies just below the centre on the road in. It is a few minutes' walk from La Croisette and generally offers more space for the money, which makes it a sensible choice for larger groups.
