Apartment Marcel | 2-Bedroom Chalet with Spa in Courchevel

A 58-square-metre chalet apartment in the heart of Courchevel Village gives families direct access to the Three Valleys ski system without the hassle of transfers or lengthy commutes. Apartment Marcel sits where the Tovets piste begins its descent, and the Grangettes lift—your gateway to 600 kilometres of interconnected runs—stands less than a five-minute walk away. Inside, contemporary interiors combine function with calm.

Inside Apartment Marcel

Apartment Marcel sleeps 6 guests across 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plus a separate toilet. The layout works because every room earned its space through thoughtful design rather than decoration.

The open-plan living and dining area occupies the heart of the apartment. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the furnished terrace beyond, flooding the space with Alpine light. A kitchen equipped with oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, kettle, toaster, and raclette machine anchors one wall—the raclette machine signals that this apartment understands mountain dining. The living area holds a sofa positioned toward the television, paired with Bose speakers for quality sound. A dining table seats the group comfortably for après-ski meals.

The master bedroom contains a king-size bed and an ensuite shower room, offering privacy and comfort after long ski days. The second bedroom accommodates younger guests with two bunk beds—sleeping four children comfortably. A full family bathroom features a bathtub, double vanity unit with heated towel rail, and heated floors that warm bare feet on winter mornings. The separate WC adds practical convenience during busy mornings.

Practical touches include a washing machine and separate dryer for cycling through ski clothing, a dedicated ski locker for overnight equipment storage, and a parking space within the residence garage. Wi-Fi connects throughout, and a vacuum cleaner handles the inevitable mountain sand. Cots and high chairs are available on request for families with infants, subject to additional charge.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The furnished terrace opens directly from the living area, creating a semi-outdoor extension of the apartment. Morning coffee here, with views toward the surrounding peaks, becomes part of the daily rhythm. The terrace catches afternoon sun and provides a vantage point for watching skiers descend the Tovets piste below.

A reserved parking space in the residence garage eliminates the common frustration of hunting for winter parking in busy resort areas. The ski locker—positioned for early-morning access without disturbing sleeping guests—stores equipment and boots ready for collection.

Shared Facilities and Wellness

Apartment Marcel residents access the building’s shared wellness centre, which includes a sauna, steam room, and on-site spa offering massage and treatment services. These amenities—available at additional charge beyond the nightly rate—provide relief for sore muscles after demanding days on the mountain. The fitness studio allows guests to maintain routines during their stay.

Location: Courchevel and the Surrounding Area

Courchevel Village sits at 1,850 metres within the Three Valleys, the world’s largest linked ski area spanning 600 kilometres of runs across four interconnected resorts. Apartment Marcel positions guests in the village centre, where local shops, a supermarket, and multiple restaurants occupy streets designed for pedestrian access.

The Tovets piste descends directly from the apartment’s proximity, while the Grangettes lift provides access to Courchevel 1850—the highest and most challenging terrain in the valley. From Courchevel 1850, intermediate and advanced skiers can traverse into Méribel (12 kilometres across the valley, reachable within 45 minutes of continuous skiing), Val d’Isère (35 kilometres, approximately 90 minutes of varied skiing), or Les Menuires (18 kilometres, reachable in 60 minutes). This interconnection defines the Three Valleys experience for serious skiers.

Courchevel Village itself has developed around the weekly Tuesday market, where regional Savoyard cheeses—including Reblochon and Tomme de Savoie—alongside cured meats and fresh produce encourage stocking the kitchen for casual meals between ski days. Several restaurants within 200 metres of Apartment Marcel offer everything from quick-service lunch stops to evening dining, while the village’s ski school operates from central locations, making it straightforward to arrange children’s lessons.

The Aquamotion complex, 3 kilometres south in the Courchevel base area, operates year-round with three pools, water slides, and wellness facilities—useful for rest days or afternoon breaks. Courchevel itself sits approximately 25 kilometres from the town of Moûtiers, where larger supermarkets and general services exist for those seeking supplies unavailable in the village.

Geneva Airport, 180 kilometres north, typically requires 3 to 3.5 hours’ drive to reach Apartment Marcel—the standard entry point for international guests. Chambéry Airport lies 120 kilometres west, offering a 2.5-hour alternative for some European routes. Grenoble, 100 kilometres northwest, handles regional services.

Winter dominates the calendar from late November through early April, with January and February offering the most reliable snow and busiest crowds. Powder days follow Atlantic weather systems moving southeast across France. Spring skiing from March through April offers improving conditions and longer daylight, though crowds intensify during school holidays. Summer in Courchevel brings hiking, mountain biking, and the quieter village rhythm.

Who This Apartment Suits Best

Apartment Marcel works perfectly for families with two to four children seeking straightforward ski access without the isolation of mountain-top properties. The bunk beds specifically accommodate younger guests, while the proximity to Courchevel’s ski school makes arranging daily lessons simple. Parents appreciate the direct piste access and short walks to restaurants.

Groups of six adults sharing costs find the two-bedroom layout manageable for mid-length stays, particularly when occupancy divides naturally into couples or a couple plus four friends. The raclette machine signals that the apartment expects sociable evening meals.

Multi-generational groups work well here when grandparents prefer the convenience of village-centre location over the challenge of higher-altitude apartments. The sauna and steam facilities provide evening unwinding while younger family members socialise.

Couples seeking Alpine village immersion rather than resort anonymity will appreciate Courchevel Village’s walkable scale and direct slope access, though the two-bedroom layout makes this a less economical choice for two adults alone.
