Les Airelles Courchevel is a one-of-a-kind ski haven
Les Airelles Courchevel offers a truly luxurious stay in the heart of the Trois Vallées

Nestled above the snowy treeline in Courchevel's prestigious Jardin Alpin area, Les Airelles Courchevel stands as a luxurious bolthole, blending 19th-century Austro-Hungarian opulence with French authenticity. The flagship property, designed by architect and interior designer Christophe Tollemer, offers a sumptuous alpine experience at the edge of the 1850 Courchevel ski slopes.
