Chalet Livie | 6-Bedroom Chalet in Courchevel 1330 Three Valleys

Courchevel 1330 sits at the gateway to 600 kilometres of interconnected Alpine terrain, and Chalet Livie positions you within walking distance of everything the resort’s most coveted elevation offers. This four-level property sleeps 13 guests across six generously proportioned bedrooms and six bathrooms, making it the kind of base where large families or friendship groups actually scatter into separate spaces rather than orbit one another.

Inside Chalet Livie

Chalet Livie sleeps 13 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The property unfolds across four distinct levels, each serving a different rhythm of mountain life.

On the First Floor, you’ll find the ski room—the genuine heartbeat of any winter residence—along with a laundry facility and a welcoming lobby area. This ground-level arrangement means wet gear never travels through the main living zones, a detail that defines functional Alpine luxury.

The Second Floor contains five of the property’s six main sleeping quarters. The master bedroom commands a private terrace and features a double bed paired with a bathtub-and-shower ensuite bathroom. This room becomes your retreat when afternoon light angles across the mountainside. Three additional double bedrooms occupy this level—each with its own ensuite bathroom fitted with shower, heated towel rail, hairdryer and individual sink. One incorporates a dressing table; another an independent toilet, a feature that matters when multiple guests share a floor. A fifth bedroom on this floor contains two single beds with its own ensuite shower room. An independent bathroom with bathtub and towel rail provides additional flexibility for guests in these rooms.

The Third Floor consolidates the chalet’s social architecture: a living room with fireplace, open-plan kitchen, formal dining space accommodating ten covers, and a separate WC. Glass doors lead to both a balcony and terrace—those moments when you’re warming your face in weak winter sun while snow settles on the valley below happen here. The fireplace runs on wood, meaning the scent of pine smoke mingles with whatever’s cooking across the open kitchen’s induction hobs. The kitchen itself contains everything for serious meal preparation: full-sized oven, dishwasher, coffee machine, Nespresso unit, microwave, raclette machine, and refrigeration. This isn’t a decorative kitchen; this is where groups actually prefer to cook together.

The Fourth Floor houses the sixth bedroom—a children’s loft room—with two single beds, two bunk beds and a wardrobe. An independent bathroom on this level contains a bathtub, towel rail, hairdryer and sink. Alongside this, a dedicated TV lounge provides separation when adults want to watch one film and children another, or when anyone needs genuine quiet. This floor effectively creates a self-contained children’s wing, invaluable for families managing different bedtimes and energy levels.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Two separate outdoor platforms extend the living space: a balcony accessed from the master bedroom and a larger terrace on the third floor, both positioned to capture southern exposure and mountain views. Outdoor furniture provisions mean these spaces remain functional through shoulder seasons. A dedicated parking space serves the property, and wood storage supports the working fireplace throughout the season.

Location: Courchevel 1330 and the Surrounding Area

Courchevel 1330 occupies a distinctive middle-ground within the Three Valleys—lower in elevation than Courchevel 1850 and 1924 but higher than the valley floor settlements like Le Praz, this altitude places you where serious skiers actually spend their days rather than where they photograph their evenings. The Three Valleys interconnects 600 kilometres of pisted terrain across Courchevel, Méribel (approximately 15 kilometres west) and Val d’Isère (roughly 30 kilometres east), making this Europe’s largest continuous ski area.

The town centre of Courchevel 1330 sits approximately 8 minutes’ walk downhill, containing supermarkets, pharmacies, ski rental shops, and a concentrated selection of restaurants ranging from casual crêperies to Michelin-listed establishments. Le Chamois restaurant specialises in traditional Savoyard dishes using Alpine dairy; La Troika serves Russian-influenced fare that evolved from Cold War-era Soviet visitors. The resort’s reputation rests on accessibility to such consistent dining quality—most towns this size offer far less.

Geneva International Airport lies approximately 180 kilometres northwest (roughly 2.5 hours’ drive via the A41 motorway), France’s primary gateway for Three Valleys visitors. Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, 200 kilometres north, offers similar transfer times. Both airports maintain established transfer services; private car hire typically costs €150-220 one-way for a sedan, whilst organised coaches run €45-65 per passenger.

Nearby settlements include Saint-Martin-de-Belleville (18 kilometres south), a traditional Savoyard village that hosts farmers’ markets selling local cheese, cured meats and seasonal produce; and Méribel Centre (15 kilometres west), the middle valley’s main resort hub offering additional restaurants and nightlife. Winter activities extend beyond skiing: the resort maintains cross-country trails through Les Allues valley (8 kilometres), ice skating venues operating December through February, and snowshoeing routes departing from multiple elevations.

Seasonal patterns define the experience: December through February offers the deepest snow and most reliable conditions, with peak crowds arriving between Christmas and New Year plus during French school holidays (typically the second and fourth weeks of February). March and April bring softer snow and longer daylight hours, ideal for those preferring fewer crowds, though conditions become more variable. Summer transforms the region entirely—the ski lifts operate for mountain biking, hiking and paragliding—but winter remains the season Chalet Livie fulfils its purpose.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Chalet Livie accommodates 13 guests across six separately enclosed bedrooms, making it substantially more functional for extended families than properties with fewer enclosed rooms. The children’s loft with bunk beds appeals specifically to families with multiple children or grandparents travelling with grandchildren—the separation prevents 6 AM wakefulness from affecting the entire household.

Groups of four to five couples—typically friends gathering for annual ski weeks—find the six double bedrooms and multiple ensuite bathrooms eliminate negotiation around bathroom schedules. The separate TV lounge and independent living zones mean evening activities need not synchronise.

Multigenerational parties (grandparents, parents, children) benefit from the Fourth Floor children’s arrangement and the master bedroom’s private terrace, allowing different age groups to establish their own rhythms. Families with infants and toddlers will note the provision of cots and high chairs on request, plus laundry facilities on-site.

The property suits those prioritising proximity to skiing over resort nightlife—the ten-minute walk downhill to restaurants and shops means you’re integrated into Courchevel without requiring constant transportation. It’s less suited to guests seeking nightclub access; Courchevel 1850, 500 metres higher, concentrates the resort’s evening venues.
