Carefully choose your geographical location
At the foot of the trails
At Courchevel 1650, you are never far from the ski slopes. But you also have the luxury of being “at the foot of the pistes”. A few hundred meters to the lifts, and you can ski in the heart of the ski area of 150 km! For children, the two-step ski school is royal. Courchevel Moriond makes life easy.
Between calm and convenience
Shops are located in the city centre of Courchevel, but it is not always useful to find an apartment in a residence. The density of the heart of Courchevel 1650 is suitable for a festive lifestyle, between shopping and crazy evenings. But for accommodation, sometimes it is better to get away a little bit and stay a residence that gives you more space and that remains isolated from traffic noise.
Landscape and orientation
And who says less density of apartments says clear view. So if you want to find “the” stunning views, moving away from the center is a good idea. Choosing a high-floor property so it is even more likely to find the rare pearl for your idyllic stay!
Imagine a 180° panorama of the surrounding mountains from a private floor in the top floor, you are right in the Domaine l’Ariondaz, in our penthouse Le Belladone.
Have you ever thought about sunbathing? This is a criterion that few people take into account when searching. But walking in rooms bathed with light in the morning with stunning views of the Alps remains the summit of luxury.

What characteristics to look for in a rental in Courchevel 1650?
Yes, for your convenience you need to know how to look at more technical aspects. Here are some topics to consider.
First, the size and configuration
How much do you pay for the stay? A group of friends, colleagues or family? Choose the number of rooms you need to accommodate everyone.
The surface area and number of rooms must be sufficient to ensure a pleasant experience, create different atmospheres and remain practical to use. Choose a private bathroom for each bedroom, for greater privacy.
The main room should be harmonious and well arranged, close to the kitchen to continue your conversation while preparing the well-deserved hot chocolates – or the glasses of champagne, it’s up to you! You will always have a preference for a fireplace corner, perfect to feel good in the heat when it snows outside on the mountains.
Residing on the top floor, you will have the absolute calm and tranquillity you need. Add a balcony to enjoy the sun view and you may not want to leave anymore.
Next, the equipment
Again, it is your quantity that will determine the stay. Each bathroom must be equipped with a bathtub, a toilet and a shower – in the Italian style.
In the rooms, choose double beds (160 or 180 x 200 cm) for couples, and single beds (90 x 190 cm), for children, or single friends. A high-quality bedding will guarantee you restful nights.
A fully equipped kitchen is a must. Whether you want to practice your talent as a cook or hire a gastronomic chef, it will make your life easy. Think, for example, of having a wine cellar, consider 2 dishwashers, check the size of the refrigerator, the presence of wifi, and especially fondue machines! Do you need to store valuables safely? A safe could be useful for you.
Finally, from the logistical point of view, a private parking space remains a must. As for the presence of a fully equipped ski room in your residence or apartment, it is mandatory to dry your ski clothes after a day of enjoying the sumptuous slopes of the area.
Finally, the benefits
In the checklist of your stay, allow yourself the possibility to have your breakfast delivered which is included in your rental to make your life easier. The same for your fireplace wood, if you have the luxury of having one.
Having a clean space every day is ideal for staying calm and relaxed. Consider a daily housekeeping service included in the services of your apartment. This way, you don’t have to manage the household yourself or look for a company to do it for you.
Thinking of the services and services in advance will save you a lot of time and energy to enjoy your stay.

The choice of Housing aesthetics
Rather authentic chalet or modern and refined apartment? And why not a little bit of both?
If you dream of a “typical” place in the purest alpine style, you can opt for a chalet. Often a little less bright, on the other hand, this will offer you a lot of space, and the rustic ambiance you are looking for.
Take a look at an apartment like our luxurious penthouse of 209 m2 Le Belladone, you will enjoy the best of both worlds: the charm of an authentic and spacious area, combined with the clean lines of a modern design.
With a premium 180° panoramic view served on a large balcony, please.
