Chalets & hotels
Catered chalets with chef, host and driver, and suites in the resorts’ grand hotels.
ALPINE CONCIERGE
The Alps, chalet by chalet.
Catered chalets, private instructors, a helicopter into the resort and a table on New Year’s Eve: the winter season in Courchevel, St. Moritz and Gstaad, planned well ahead.
The Alpine winter is short and its best weeks are booked early. Whether you favour the ski-in, ski-out ease of Courchevel, the grand tradition of St. Moritz or the discreet chalets of Gstaad, the quality of a stay depends on decisions made months before the first snow. We make them with you.

Courchevel’s winter season runs from 4 December 2026 to 18 April 2027, according to the resort.
How do I get to Courchevel by helicopter?
Helicopter transfers fly from Geneva or Chambéry to Courchevel, weather permitting. We always arrange a car as a fallback.
