Apartment Hellebore | 3-Bedroom Chalet with Spa in Courchevel 1550

A three-bedroom chalet apartment in Courchevel 1550 that places you metres from the slopes and steps from the village’s best-kept amenities. Apartment Hellebore occupies a prime location within the resort’s central hub, where the Grangettes chairlift sits just 100 metres downhill and the snow begins practically at your front door. This is where serious skiers and families seeking convenience converge—no long walks through resort traffic, no complicated lift connections to begin your day.

Inside Apartment Hellebore

Apartment Hellebore sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, distributed across two thoughtfully planned levels that total 145 square metres. The ground floor anchors the social heart of the apartment: an expansive open-plan living and dining zone bathed in natural light, with full-height windows opening onto a furnished balcony where mountain views accompany morning coffee. The kitchen flows directly into this living area, equipped with a ceramic stovetop, Nespresso machine, fondue and raclette makers—the essential tools for convivial alpine evenings—plus dishwasher, oven and all standard appliances for self-catering guests.

The master bedroom occupies the quieter ground floor, featuring a double bed, substantial fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom appointed with a deep soaking bathtub. A separate WC on this level serves additional convenience. The upper storey houses two further bedrooms: one with a double bed, the other with two single beds that can be configured as a double on request. Both bedrooms access a dedicated shower room with independent access, while a second WC provides additional privacy. Throughout the apartment, warm alpine materials meet clean contemporary finishes—timber detailing, pale stone surfaces and neutral upholstery create the restful aesthetic of mountain living without sacrificing modern comfort.

Storage solutions integrate thoughtfully into every room, while a lift connects both levels for guests with reduced mobility. The washing machine, iron and ironing board handle practical necessities, and a private ski locker on the ground floor keeps equipment secure between runs.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The south-facing balcony extends the apartment’s living space into fresh alpine air, furnished with a dining table and chairs for morning views across the Courchevel Valley. From this vantage point, you watch other skiers descending while sipping your café crème. The underground parking space—a rare convenience in this compact resort—keeps your vehicle secure and out of the winter elements. Your private ski locker stores boards and boots between days on the mountain, eliminating the daily shuffle to external facilities.

The residence provides access to a wellness centre featuring a sauna, steam room and dedicated fitness room, bookable for additional charge. These facilities offer recovery space after demanding terrain or a counterpoint to rest days when weather closes the upper slopes.

Location: Courchevel 1550 and the Surrounding Area

Courchevel 1550 sits at the heart of the Three Valleys ski network, the world’s largest interconnected ski domain, spanning 600 kilometres of terrain across France’s Tarentaise and Beaufortain valleys. The village pulses with a distinctly French Alpine character—less glittering than Courchevel 1850 (300 metres higher and considerably more exclusive), yet more energetic than the lower satellite villages of Courchevel 1300 and Courchevel 1850-Moriond.

The Grangettes chairlift, 100 metres from Apartment Hellebore’s door, links directly to the central hub connecting Courchevel’s four altitude zones and the greater Three Valleys network. From here, confident intermediates reach the long blues running toward Méribel (15km across the ridge), while advanced skiers access La Saulire’s demanding blacks and reds. Beginners find protected slopes within Courchevel’s lower zones before graduating to Méribel’s gentler terrain or Les Menuires’ family-friendly areas.

Within Courchevel Village itself, the Boucherie de Courchevel and local boulangeries supply fresh provisions, while restaurants including La Grotte and Le Chamois offer everything from quick lunch stops to evening dining. The Aquamotion aquatic centre, a 5-kilometre shuttle journey away, provides indoor and outdoor pools, wellness treatments and family activities for non-skiing days. Geneva-Cointrin Airport lies approximately 175 kilometres northwest (2.5 hours by car), while Chambéry-Savoie Airport sits 100 kilometres south (90 minutes). Both routes traverse the pre-Alpine foothills, with spectacular valley drives through the Isère department.

The Three Valleys season runs reliably from mid-December through April, with peak snow conditions from January through early March. February draws families during French school holidays, while March-April suits those seeking longer daylight hours and spring skiing. Summer transforms the area into a mountain-biking and hiking destination, with over 600 kilometres of marked trails radiating from Courchevel across the Tarentaise massif.
