Apartment Bouc Blanc | 3-Bedroom Chalet with Sauna in Courchevel

Ski-to-door convenience in Courchevel Village defines the appeal of this three-bedroom chalet apartment, where morning coffee on the balcony overlooks the peaks of the Three Valleys and evening returns from the slopes take mere seconds. Apartment Bouc Blanc occupies the second floor of the prestigious Carré Blanc residence, positioning guests within arm’s reach of the Grangettes gondola and the Proveres piste that cuts across the mountainside just 20 metres from the building’s entrance. This is mountain living stripped of unnecessary pretence—contemporary design married to practical comfort, ideal for families and friends who value location above all else.

Inside Apartment Bouc Blanc

Apartment Bouc Blanc sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with a total living area of 87 square metres distributed across an open-plan layout that maximises light and sightlines. The heart of the apartment is the combined lounge, dining and kitchen zone, where pale timber cabinetry and cream-coloured soft furnishings create a calm canvas for both relaxation and socialising. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the space with natural daylight and opens onto a furnished balcony—the kind of outdoor room where guests naturally gather with morning coffee before the slopes and evening drinks as the mountains turn gold at sunset.

The fully-equipped kitchen runs along one wall, fitted with everything required for self-catering from simple breakfasts to evening meals. A flatscreen television anchors the lounge seating, while the dining table accommodates the full party of six comfortably. A separate WC adds practical convenience for guests moving between bedrooms and living areas.

Master Bedroom (Bedroom 1): A double bed measuring 160 x 200cm dominates this quieter room, accompanied by built-in wardrobe storage and an in-room safe for valuables. The en-suite shower room includes a ceramic basin and heated towel rail—essential after a cold day on the mountain.

Bedroom 2: Twin beds (80 x 190cm each) make this room adaptable for two guests preferring separate sleeping surfaces, or easily pushed together for couples seeking flexibility. A flatscreen television offers evening entertainment, and the dedicated en-suite shower room maintains the privacy each guest deserves. Wardrobe storage runs the length of one wall.

Bedroom 3: The largest of the three rooms features a generous double bed (180 x 200cm) and includes a full en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower facilities, double basin, WC and heated towel dryer. A television is mounted on the wall, and substantial wardrobe space accommodates extended stays. This room has the feel of a junior suite, making it ideal for families with children or for guests seeking a more spacious sleeping environment.

Throughout the apartment, contemporary design principles dominate: minimal clutter, quality finishes, soft colour palettes that complement rather than dominate. The result feels neither sterile nor cluttered—a rare balance in mountain accommodation.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The furnished balcony extends the living space outdoors, with unobstructed mountain vistas that justify lingering there in all seasons. This is where guests actually spend time, not merely photograph. The view encompasses the ski runs and surrounding peaks that define the Three Valleys landscape.

Practical amenities include a private ski locker—invaluable for keeping equipment secure and accessible without crowding the apartment’s interior. Underground parking allocated to the apartment provides sheltered vehicle storage, while elevator access from the garage eliminates the burden of carrying luggage up multiple flights of stairs. An iron and vacuum cleaner are provided for those wishing to maintain the space throughout their stay.

Location: Courchevel and the Surrounding Area

Courchevel Village (also called Courchevel 1550) sits at the heart of the Three Valleys—the world’s largest connected ski domain with more than 600 kilometres of marked pistes. Apartment Bouc Blanc’s position within walking distance of the Grangettes gondola means direct access to Courchevel 1850 and onwards to Meribel and Val Thorens within minutes. The Proveres piste runs directly past the property, allowing skiers to descend to village level without traversing the broader resort network.

Beyond winter sports, Courchevel Village offers a complete Alpine resort experience. Traditional stone chalets line narrow streets where locals and visitors move between ski hire shops, café-bars serving fondue and raclette, and family restaurants. The village maintains an authentic character distinct from the more formal Courchevel 1850 higher up the mountain. Boutiques selling ski-wear and regional products occupy ground floors, while the smell of fresh bread from local boulangeries fills the main thoroughfares.

The ski school in Courchevel Village caters to learners of all ages, with instructors speaking multiple languages. Snowshoe trails branch into the surrounding forest, offering quieter pursuits for those seeking respite from the pistes. The Courchevel spa facilities near the centre provide massage and wellness treatments—particularly popular after physically demanding ski days.

Meribel, the second major resort in the Three Valleys, sits approximately 8 kilometres away via the linked ski network or roughly 30 minutes by road, known for its tree-lined runs and family-friendly atmosphere. Val Thorens, the highest ski resort in Europe at 3,230 metres, lies further into the valley at approximately 25 kilometres, offering glacier access and extended season skiing into spring.

Moûtiers, the nearest main town with supermarkets and major services, sits 20 kilometres below Courchevel and approximately 45 minutes by car. Chambéry, a historic Alpine city, lies 60 kilometres distant and serves as a cultural anchor point with museums, restaurants and non-skiing attractions.

Summer months transform Courchevel into a hiking and mountain biking destination, with accessible trails for all levels and the gondola system operating to assist ascending. June through September bring reliable weather and wildflower meadows across the higher elevations.

Ski-focused families with children aged 5-15: The three en-suite bedrooms mean parents and children can retire to separate sleeping areas.
