Cheval Blanc Courchevel: How to Book the Original Maison

Every collection has a first house, and for Cheval Blanc it is Cheval Blanc Courchevel, the discreet, slope-side Maison in Courchevel 1850 where the brand began. With just 36 rooms and suites, it remains one of the most exclusive and personal addresses in the Alps.

Behind an understated front sits a modern chalet of white oak, almond green, and polished bronze, with direct access to the slopes of the Trois Vallées, the largest skiable domain in the world. Its size is the point: 36 keys means a level of recognition and service that larger palaces cannot match, and a genuine sense of staying in a private residence.

The founding Cheval Blanc Maison, and the only three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Courchevel.

Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc, guided by chef Yannick Alléno, is the only restaurant in Courchevel to hold three Michelin stars, a landmark of Alpine gastronomy. The Spa Cheval Blanc, with treatments by Guerlain, completes a Maison built for the whole day, from first lift to last course.

With just 36 keys and a devoted following, the festive season and February half-terms are secured far ahead, often close to a year for the best suites and duplexes. Through a Fora-affiliated advisory, the reservation carries VIP recognition and benefits at the same published rate.
