As the first snow begins to settle on the slopes of Courchevel 1850, Aman Le Mélézin is preparing to welcome guests from 12 December 2024 to 6 April 2025. Perched directly on the Bellecôte Piste, this alpine retreat merges ski-in, ski-out convenience with views across the snow-dusted peaks, and offers seasonal highlights designed for both skiers and non-skiers.
The 31-room hotel, known for its understated luxury, has been recently updated. Many rooms now feature private terraces and hot tubs, blending modern comfort with traditional alpine touches. Aman Le Mélézin’s ski butler service continues to be available, enhancing accessibility to the slopes for those eager to embrace the winter season.
Courchevel 1850, perched high in the French Alps, is the crown jewel of the Trois Vallées ski region, renowned for its luxurious charm, vibrant après-ski scene, and world-class pistes. This alpine village combines stunning mountain scenery with fine dining, boutique shopping, and a lively atmosphere, making it a prime destination for winter enthusiasts and jet-setters alike.
Seasonal Experiences: Dining and Wellness in Courchevel
This winter, Aman Le Mélézin’s culinary and wellness offerings take centre stage. Nama, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant, will return with a focus on the washoku tradition, while new seasonal additions like a Matcha Tea Ceremony and a Korean Hot Pot experience offer different flavours for those looking to unwind indoors. Guests can also partake in a revived après-ski gathering, with Fireside Delights offering classic treats like fresh fruits with melted chocolate and marshmallows by the fire.
For those seeking a more private dining experience, Les Prés de la Croix provides a chance to dine in a secluded chalet accessed via snowmobile. A Savoyard-style dinner featuring cheese fondue or hotpot is served here, offering a rustic, quiet contrast to the energy of Courchevel.
