Apartment Huska | 3-Bedroom Chalet with Spa in Courchevel

You’re standing 50 metres from the heart of Courchevel 1850, one of the French Alps’ most coveted winter addresses, with ski lifts practically visible from your window. Apartment Huska is a chalet apartment designed for those who want immediate access to world-class skiing without sacrificing contemporary comfort or the ability to walk to restaurants, bars, and the Forum shopping complex within moments.

Inside Apartment Huska

Apartment Huska sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The layout flows across an open-plan ground floor, where a substantial lounge anchors the space with soft furnishings in charcoal and cream tones, complemented by warm timber accents throughout. A wall-mounted flat-screen television with international channels occupies one wall, while high-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected to the outside world—though you may find you don’t want to be. Down two shallow steps, the fully fitted kitchen connects directly to this social hub, eliminating that divided-space feeling many alpine rentals suffer from.

The kitchen itself is genuinely equipped for self-catering: electric oven and hob, dishwasher, full-height refrigerator, kettle, toaster, and an electric juice squeezer for morning citrus ritual. A substantial dining table with seating for six sits within the kitchen area, the kind of configuration that encourages long breakfasts before heading to the slopes or leisurely dinners after them.

Three distinct sleeping zones serve different group compositions. Two double bedrooms can each convert into twin arrangements if your party requires it—each features its own flat-screen TV mounted to the wall and furnishings pitched at the same comfort standard as the communal areas. The third bedroom contains a bunk bed configuration, ideal for younger guests or the flexibility multi-generational groups require. All three rooms deliver genuine tranquillity, with careful sound insulation allowing those sleeping to remain undisturbed by activity elsewhere in the apartment.

The first bathroom includes a full bathtub, wash basin, toilet, and hairdryer—the sort of practical specification that matters after a long day in the mountains. A separate WC provides additional convenience for households of six. An iron and ironing board address the reality that some guests wish to look pressed even whilst surrounded by snow.

Practical mountain-specific amenities include a dedicated ski locker within the residence—essential for keeping equipment secure and out of living spaces—and a boot heater that ensures your ski boots are dry and warm each morning rather than cold and damp. An elevator serves the apartment, meaningful if you’re carrying luggage or equipment. Parking is allocated on-site, eliminating the frustration of hunting for a spot in peak season.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

This is a chalet apartment, not a sprawling villa with manicured grounds. The appeal lies instead in location and walkability. Your allocated parking space represents your primary outdoor asset, positioned to minimise the distance between car and apartment entrance. The building’s proximity to the Courchevel 1850 village centre—a genuine 50-metre radius—means that outdoor exploration happens on foot rather than from private terraces. The Plantret area, where Apartment Huska sits, offers natural mountain vistas framed by the surrounding peaks of the 3 Valleys region, with views of the surrounding elevations visible from the apartment’s windows.

Location: Courchevel and the Surrounding Area

Courchevel 1850 functions as the epicentre of three distinct ski zones. The Front de Neige ski slope sits 50 metres from the apartment entrance, making it feasible to walk there in under two minutes with skis in hand. The nearest ski lift operates at the same distance—you can monitor queue lengths from the apartment and time your descent accordingly. Courchevel’s ski school maintains premises equally close by, essential for families introducing children to skiing or adults seeking technical instruction.

The village itself concentrates upmarket dining, boutique shopping, and après-ski drinking into a walkable perimeter. The Forum shopping complex sits immediately adjacent, housing an Olympic ice rink and bowling alley alongside retail outlets—relevant for non-skiers in your group or poor-visibility days. The 3 Valleys system—encompassing Courchevel, Méribel, and Val d’Isère across 600 square kilometres—remains accessible via the integrated lift network; experienced skiers can range across multiple villages within a single day.

Neighbouring villages expand your options. Méribel, 8 kilometres south by road, functions as the 3 Valleys’ second hub, popular with British and Australian visitors and known for tree-lined slopes. Val d’Isère, 16 kilometres east, delivers a more relaxed mountain-town atmosphere than Courchevel’s marble-and-champagne reputation, with excellent restaurants and a younger demographic. Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, 12 kilometres southwest, offers authentic Savoyard character and smaller-scale skiing suited to intermediates.

The nearest airport is Chambéry-Savoie, approximately 90 kilometres northwest, typically requiring 90 minutes to two hours by road depending on snow conditions and traffic. Geneva Airport, a further option, sits 160 kilometres north and offers more flight options, though transfer time extends to roughly three hours. Both routes involve scenic Alpine driving once you leave the valley floor.

Winter dominates the visitor calendar, with reliable snow from December through March and peak crowds during school holidays (late December, mid-February). The season’s best skiing typically occurs in January and early February, when snow bases are deepest and trails least tracked. Summer brings hiking, mountain biking, and the Courchevel-Mérribel hiking network open to non-skiers. Explore our full collection in Courchevel and our luxury villas in France.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Apartment Huska performs optimally for families with children aged 6-16, where school holidays drive the rental decision and proximity to the ski school matters substantially. The bunk bedroom accommodates younger children, while the available cot and highchair (on request) serve families with infants or toddlers, though the apartment’s multilevel layout and lack of enclosed outdoor space demands supervision of very young children.

Groups of four to six friends, particularly those mixing experienced and novice skiers, benefit from the three separate bedrooms and reasonable shared spaces. Couples might find the apartment slightly over-sized unless they’re bringing friends or family. Multi-generational parties—parents, adult children, and grandchildren—appreciate the flexible bedroom configurations and proximity to activities suitable for mixed ages and abilities.

The lack of a private pool or expansive gardens means this suits guests prioritising slope access and village amenity proximity over resort-style privacy and facilities. Non-skiers accompanying skiing families can walk to shops, restaurants, and the ice rink without dependence on car transfers or resort shuttles.

Practical Information

Apartment Huska accommodates a maximum of 6 guests distributed across 3 bedrooms (two double/twins and one bunk room) and 2 bathrooms plus a separate WC. Check-in and check-out times follow standard French Alpine rental conventions—typically 4pm arrival and 10am departure, though specific dates should be confirmed at booking.

Essential utilities including heating, electricity, and water feature in the rental price, non-negotiable during winter months when external temperatures regularly drop below freezing. High-speed Wi-Fi connects all guests, with international television channels providing familiar programming. Ski storage, boot heating, and parking remain included. Linen and towels are provided, with fresh linen mid-week for stays exceeding one week. End-of-stay cleaning occurs as standard, though mid-stay housekeeping can be arranged separately.

The nearest supermarket, Casino, sits approximately 100 metres from the apartment entrance, stocking provisions ranging from pre-prepared meals to fresh vegetables and the sort of impulse groceries that sustain week-long stays. Several restaurants and cafés exist within 50-200 metres, removing the need to cook every evening. For evening dining reservations at Courchevel’s fine dining restaurants—establishments with Michelin recognition—advance booking during peak season is essential; the apartment’s concierge service can typically assist.

Frequently Asked Questions about Apartment Huska

How many guests does Apartment Huska sleep?

Apartment Huska accommodates 6 guests maximum. The configuration includes two double bedrooms (each convertible to twins with separate single beds) and one bunk bedroom housing two single beds stacked vertically. This arrangement suits two couples with two children, or three couples, or a family of four with two visiting friends. A cot and highchair are available on request for younger infants.

What is the nearest airport to Apartment Huska in Courchevel?

Chambéry-Savoie Airport lies approximately 90 kilometres north of Courchevel, with typical transfer times of 90 minutes to 2 hours by road depending on snow conditions and traffic density. Geneva Airport, 160 kilometres north, offers greater flight frequency and international connections but requires 2.5 to 3 hours driving time. Both airports maintain regular shuttle services and rental car facilities; many guests book transfers in advance through their rental company.

What is the best time of year to rent Apartment Huska?

Winter dominates the rental calendar, with reliable snow cover from December through March. January and early February offer the deepest snow bases and best skiing conditions, though crowds peak during school holidays (late December through early January and mid-February). March brings warmer days suitable for spring skiing but fewer terrain options. Summer brings hiking and mountain biking but lacks the snow-sports focus Apartment Huska’s design accommodates. Families seeking fewer crowds should target January or late February outside school holiday windows.

Is Apartment Huska suitable for families with children?

Yes, Apartment Huska caters explicitly to families. The dedicated bunk bedroom suits children aged 6-14 without requiring sofa-bed compromises. A cot and highchair are available on request for younger guests. The nearby ski school sits 50 metres away, enabling instruction for children aged 3 and above. The village layout, within walking distance of shops and restaurants, eliminates dependence on car travel with young children. However, the open-plan living space and multilevel layout demand supervision of children under age 5, as the apartment includes stairs and lacks enclosed outdoor play areas.

What is included in the rental price at Apartment Huska?

The rental price includes all utilities (heating, electricity, water), high-speed Wi-Fi, international television channels, linen and towels, ski locker access, boot heater operation, parking, and end-of-stay professional cleaning. The kitchen arrives fully stocked with basic provisions (salt, oil, condiments), eliminating the need for immediate shopping. Cot and highchair use carries no additional charge but requires advance notice. Mid-stay housekeeping and additional cleaning services can be arranged for supplementary fees.

What restaurants and shops are near Apartment Huska?

Apartment Huska’s location places it within 50-100 metres of multiple dining venues, from casual cafés serving croque-monsieur and espresso to fine-dining establishments. Michelin-recognized restaurants operate within walking distance, including La Toison d’Or and Le Lièvre Blanc, though advance reservations during peak season are essential. The Casino supermarket sits 100 metres away, stocking groceries, fresh provisions, and prepared meals. The Forum shopping complex, 50 metres distant, houses retail boutiques, the Olympic ice rink, and bowling alley. Courchevel’s bakeries and patisseries sit within the same walkable radius, essential for morning pastries and bread.
