L’Apogée Courchevel
History & Story
The famous designers India Madavi and Joseph Dirand merged to create a unique style for L’Apogée Courchevel, which relates more to the language of a château than a chalet. In design they found the perfect balance between contemporary and historical reference that is « authentic yet not nostalgic ».
Main Strength, Special Touch
Its unique design (cozy and elegant).
L’Apogée Courchevel is one of the latest property opened in Courchevel and designed with tailor made furniture.
Accommodations are the largest in Courchevel and offer the greatest variation of connecting rooms and suites.
Location
Situated in Le Jardin Aplin, the most exclusive area in Courchevel 1850, offering breath-taking views of Courchevel.
Key sites/activities in the area
You can take the reins of a dog sled for an exhilarating ride swooshing behind your own husky team by moonlight. Slide along with fast and furious snowboarders or take the Courchevel 1850 toboggan run. Enjoy the most spectacular scenic tour with a pilot specialized in mountain flying, leaving from the high altitude Courchevel airstrip, or strap on crampons for a vertical ice climb.
For something more peaceful the concierge suggests cross country skiing; or snowshoeing off the beaten track to explore the still forest and catch a glimpse of chamois or sleek fox.
Fun facts
Our executive Chef Jean-Luc Lefrançois has been awarded with 1 Michelin star in our summer property in South of France, le Château Saint-Martin & Spa.
