Our second Spa will be a bit different. First of all, it’s in France, and it’s attached with skiing mainly, people are coming here to enjoy this winter sport. However, you don’t need to buy extra ski ticket, or anything, you can just book your room for relax, and chill! I choose this Spa Hotel, because i am amazed how big and luxurious the rooms are!
HUGE? AGREE! AMAZING!

NINE INDIVIDUAL APARTMENTS-ROOM & SUITE
Nine spacious luxury, private apartments from 150 – 300 m²,
created by master interior designer Jean-Marc Mouchet. State-of-the-art technology meets haute couture in our collection of beautifully attired, perfectly laid out apartments.
Each three and four bedroom apartments feature spacious and luxurious living rooms with fireplaces, dining rooms with personal wine cellars , fully equipped professional kitchens and private balconies overlooking the slopes. Some apartments even have private steam rooms, massage areas and outdoor hot tubs.
SPA SECTION
We can experience the main spa treatments, like body massage, swimming in the pool, sitting in the sauna, however, the options are a bit more limited.
Which we should understand, as people are mainly still coming here to enjoy skiing, and not just stay in the Spa section all day long!
The Spa as it it, amazingly beautiful, modern and luxurious, with HUGE space. And i mean it. It is HUGE!
FOOD AND DRINK
There are several ways to do this: have a private chef prepare meals for you in your own kitchen; order from the restaurant-quality in-room menu; eat in Le Bizan, the hotel’s Japanese-Italian fusion restaurant presided over by the exceptionally talented Paulo Bianchi, or combine all three, taking care not to miss Bianchi’s five-course tasting menu, featuring such delicacies as Wagyu filet with blackberry teriyaki, baby carrots and baby corn and miso marinated black cod with yuzu mash potato, dashi and smoked bacon broth.
You can, of course, go out: Courchevel 1850 has eight Michelin-starred restaurants plus a great selection of mountain restaurants for lunch, including the recently opened Nammos (dancing on tables optional), on the Verdons run, and La Cave des Creux, on the Cave des Creux run.
PRICES
Prices starts from approx. 1200 pounds per people per night! Obviously it is a high category price, and i would say the Spa opportunities are not high tier, just for this hotel, with the services, i wouldn’t pay that much, but considering, that my main object is skiing, and the slope is less then 100 meters away from the entrance of the hotel, i would think about it again!
Rooms are unique, HUGE and amazingly luxurious, we can’t deny that fact. If your budget allows it, worth to come here, and spend a couple of days, skiing and relaxing.
SUMMARY
As a SPA Resort, you probably will find better options, in terms of service and the diversity of the treatments, but i have rarely ever seen more amazing rooms and suites then in the Grandes Hotel Alpes. It bought me, and obviously ski lovers will like it also, because its really close to the slope, beautiful view from the balcony, and really peaceful and chilled, when you finished skiing, and got back to the room, enjoying the luxury.
I recommand to everyone at least once, it is clearly a lifetime experience!
