Renting a luxury chalet in Courchevel deserves the same planning as a tailor-made trip. Here are the practical benchmarks to weigh up village, budget, capacity and service level for the 2026-2027 season.
The four decisive criteria
- —Real capacity in adults, not in beds.
- —Access to the slopes and distance from the lifts.
- —Service level: private chef, concierge, driver, ski host.
- —Wellness facilities: indoor pool, spa, sauna, cinema room.
What budget to plan
In Courchevel, a week in a high-end private chalet starts around €8,000 outside peak weeks and goes well beyond €100,000 for the most exposed addresses in 1850. Chalets in Le Praz offer a far better facilities-to-price ratio with the same access to the ski area. Chalet Les Cochettes starts at €1,600 per night.
Which village to choose
1850 for boutiques and nightlife, Moriond for sun and families, Village for balance, Le Praz for calm, forest and authenticity with direct access to the 3 Valleys. Le Praz is also the logical choice for a large group looking for a standalone chalet rather than a shop-window address.
What a good chalet should include
- —Daily housekeeping and linen.
- —Heated ski room.
- —High-speed wifi and a workspace.
- —Concierge for restaurants, instructors and transfers.
- —Optional private chef, massages and childcare.
When to book
Christmas and New Year weeks usually go 9 to 12 months ahead, February 6 to 9 months. For January, early March and April, booking 2 to 3 months out is realistic and rates are gentler.
Stay conditions
Most chalets work on a 7-night minimum with Friday, Saturday or Sunday arrivals. That is also how Chalet Les Cochettes operates, hosting up to 12 adults in Le Praz with a 10-metre indoor pool, spa and cinema room.
