This is an uncompromising approach to the highest levels of comfort. Throughout your stay at Property 326 you will have a butler, chef and chauffeur at your disposal. Breakfast, afternoon tea and a tailor-made gourmet dinner are served every day and both the chalet staff and the hotel reception are on hand to help organize a wide range of activities.

This spectacular chalet is built in the traditional Savoyard style with local stone and larch wood. Inside, the chalet is calm, richly furnished and perfectly presented with double height ceilings, a huge open fire, spacious comfortable bedrooms and an outdoor hot tub on the terrace, where you can soothe any aches and strains. The bedrooms are doubles and are blissfully cosy. The contemporary interior uses muted hues, natural fabrics and pale wood and is lit by the sun streaming through the enormous picture windows in the living room. The dining area is next to a large central fireplace and is the prime spot for a dinner party. It's worth splashing out on some wine from Tre Valli Ski Resort’s fabulous cellar. 

This chalet has around 270m² of floor space, 5 bedrooms (10 to 20m²) with own bathroom and LCD screen, and fully equipped kitchen.If you simply want to relax, Property 326 has a home cinema and a wide selection of DVDs. The large living room (60m²) has a central fireplace, large LCD screen with DVD home cinema and HIFI, and access to the South-facing terrace with hot tub.

All rooms are en suite bar the top bedroom. Tre Valli Resort’s spa, gym and pool are available to the chalet guests and a wide range of massage and beauty treatments are on offer. Thanks to your chauffeur, minimum exertion is needed to sample the heady delights of Courchevel 1850, with its Michelin-starred restaurants and swish nightclubs. 

Let's not forget the skiing, however. Courchevel is ideal for all levels of ability and is part of the Trois Vallées ski area – the largest in Europe. 350 miles of ski runs should be enough to keep even the most experienced skiers busy. The Resort’s ski shop can provide all the equipment you require and offers in-chalet fittings at your convenience. The region also has a wide range of alternative Alpine sports, such as heli-skiing, parapenting and bobsleighing, which your host can organize for you.

Courchevel has fantastic restaurants, stylish nightclubs and the widest choice of skiing in the Alps. There are over 200 ski lifts and almost 350 runs in the immediate area, offering suitable terrain for both beginners and experienced skiers. The resort’s high altitude usually guarantees excellent conditions and serious skiers will love the black Les Suisses run as well as the off-piste couloirs from The Saulire. Try to ski the black runs at the beginning of the week as they become crowded towards the weekend, as people build up their courage. Courchevel also has excellent snowboarding conditions and heli-skiing trips over the border to Italy can be arranged. You can also enjoy skidooing, hot-air ballooning, parapenting, ice-skating, tobogganing and snow shoeing. For really extreme sports, take a transfer to nearby La Plagne to shoot the bobsleigh run or head to Tignes for some ice-diving.
