The best 4-star mountain hotels

1. Fahrenheit Seven Courchevel

Located right on the snow front, at the foot of the Ariondaz gondola, the Fahrenheit Seven cultivates a cheerful, relaxed alpine lifestyle that will delight ski aficionados... Designed with refinement in mind, the 4-star mountain hotel revisits vintage codes with a vibrant mix & match of geometric patterns, urban suspensions and shimmering colors, contrasting with its traditional wood and stone exterior. At the helm of the Alpine establishment, Rémi, as Operations Manager, and Camille, as Lodging Manager, bring a warm ambience to this chalet-style hotel with ski-in/ski-out access.

The 86 rooms and suites, from the double to the duplex Family Room, have been designed for maximum comfort: quality bedding, modern equipment such as Marshall speakers and breathtaking views of the slopes, the village or the peaks. Every detail adds a cosy touch, from aged leather headboards to plaids and marble bathrooms. The ski room, a distinctive feature of the Courchevel hotel, invites you to relax with its bar after a day on the slopes. As for relaxation, the spa at an altitude of 1,650 metres offers a hammam, sauna, herbal tea room and two massage cabins, which skiers will appreciate at the end of the day after a day on the slopes of the 3 Valleys. Epicureans, meanwhile, will delight in La Rôtisserie, the main restaurant with its south-facing terrace featuring Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, La Cheminée for its bistronomic dishes, or The Seven Kings, the quintessential party bar on the same street with its English pub atmosphere. Cheers!

What makes the difference? The experience of skiing and snowboarding, with the Ski Boutique offering the very best in ski and snowboard equipment, both for purchase and rental, and the Ski Room and Ski Bar, a place entirely dedicated to winter sports, ideal before you hit the slopes or on your return. Located just off the slopes of Courchevel 1650, they are right at the start of the lifts.
