Set in the heart of the Les Chenus district of Courchevel 1850, this luxury chalet rental is one of the three properties that make up the Hameau de la Volière.

The property offers a subtle blend of a traditional chalet with clean lines and a modern feel, combined with luxury services. Surrounded by fir trees and boasting stunning views over the valley, its location at the foot of the slopes endows it with easy access to the world’s largest ski area.

Decorated in shades of grey and beige, the chalet exudes a contemporary atmosphere, without forgetting its mountain roots. Imagined by the renowned Christophe Tollemer interior design agency, the clean lines, fluid-shaped furniture, and designer light fittings blend in perfectly with the stunning landscapes.

The 6 bedrooms each enjoy an ensuite bathroom and balcony or terrace.

The chalet’s five floors are home to luxury facilities, including an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, gym, steam room, sauna and massage room. An outdoor Jacuzzi nestles on the terrace of the middle floor, from where you can admire spectacular views over the peaks of the Tarentaise Valley. The chalet also features a cinema room and games room.

When you stay at this chalet rental you’ll enjoy hotel services, with a chef and a butler at your disposal to prepare and serve your meals. A housekeeper and a chauffeur are also on hand whenever you need them throughout your stay.
