SOAK UP THE RELAXING, COSY ATMOSPHERE OF THE EMBLEMATIC FAMILY-RUN
Les Peupliers**** in Courchevel
Set at an altitude of 300 metres at the foot of the slopes, in the quiet village of Courchevel-Le Praz, with its traditional Savoyard architecture and stunning views of the frozen lake, Les Peupliers is so much more than a hotel.
Built in 1938, the 4-star property is somewhat of an institution, with the first chapters of its story being written by Eugène Blanc. The former family home was handed down from generation to generation, never losing its soul. It now features 19 welcoming and comfortable rooms.
The ambiance is elegant and the service attentive, but never pretentious, making for an enjoyable stay in a cosy setting. Such attributes appealed to Margaret Thatcher, who was won over by the warm, yet unassuming welcome offered by the Gacon family.
The added extras: The beautiful spa with its steam room, sauna and relaxation area, the charming Norby's lounge area and the Au Burger d'à Côté restaurant across the street, which serves burgers and American-style cuisine in a Savoyard atmosphere.
Our favourite: the legendary Savoyard fondue with morel mushrooms served in Les Peupliers’ restaurant, La Table De Mon Grand-Père.

GET AWAY FROM IT ALL IN A LUXURY MOUNTAIN HUT, AND EXPERIENCE HEAVEN ON EARTH
Le Refuge de la Traye in Méribel
This is the first luxury mountain hut in the French Alps! A unique retreat that skillfully combines the elegance of the most luxurious 5-star Palaces with the authenticity of a mountain retreat.
Nestling at the heart of a protected natural setting, it is located 10 km from the nearest surfaced road. Built in 1982, and totally refurbished in 2019, you’d think the hamlet and its typical little chalets, housing six bedrooms and a suite, had always been there. Make sure you take time to explore its charming Saint Bernard chapel.
At the Refuge, luxury comes in the form of simple pleasures in the relaxation areas, by the fireside, in the spa, or out and about enjoying the many different activities on offer (snowshoeing, toboganning, biathlon rifle shooting, electric snowmobiling for children, treetop adventure trail, zip line, ski touring, eating a delicious fondue inside an igloo...), and in the exquisite dishes created by the restaurant’s Italian chef.
The added extras: the peaceful harmony of the setting designed by architect Stéphane Collange, the elegant, prestigious decor, with reclaimed wood, fabrics by Arpin, old Savoyard furniture, La Table de la Traye restaurant, its generous cuisine and welcoming dining room with breathtaking views, and a panoramic terrace facing the snow-capped peaks.
Our favourite: the spa, worthy of a top-of-the-range hotel, with its milk bath, hay bed, sauna, steam room, outdoor Jacuzzi and massages. As well as its 2.0 treatments using innovative, connected technology, such as the Iyashi Dôme Japanese sauna, the Wellsystem water massage, Mostleds light therapy and Stendo circulatory stimulation. If paradise exists, perhaps this is it!

EXPERIENCE A COMPLETE CHANGE OF SCENERY IN A COSY COCOON ON THE SLOPES
Adray Télébar *** in Méribel
This chalet-hotel has been welcoming families, couples and groups of friends for a timeless stay for more than fifty years now.
Nestling in a wild forest setting, just a few ski tips away from the blue Doron run, you can reach the 3-star Adray Télébar on skis, on foot or by snowmobile, which is what the hotel uses to transport your luggage. It is a really cosy cocoon at nightfall, when the ski lifts close.
Make the most of après-ski fun with video games, a game of pool, reading… in the warm decor created by natural stone, reclaimed wood and noble materials. A place that exudes joie de vivre and simplicity, whilst making each guest feel unique and special.
The added extras: choose between a traditional hotel room with breakfast or half board, or opt for one of the three 80m2 private lodges: Woody-Woody, contemporary or Savoyard, where you can make the most of the surroundings. Energy-efficient water and electricity solutions and recycling cooking oil.
Our favourite: Savoyard white wines and homemade blueberry tarts served at the bar, on the edge of the Doron run.

EXPERIENCE A NIGHT AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD
Refuge du Lac du Lou in Les Menuires
This magical place is not that far away: half an hour up on snowshoes or touring skis, and just a few minutes skiing down through the powder from Cime Caron is all it takes.
And yet, it feels away from everything, far from the busy slopes and ski lifts. Built from stone and located near the frozen lake, the refuge invites you to a moment at one with nature. Not only will you enjoy a warm welcome from the warden, but a delicious meal made using fresh local produce awaits you too.
When the visitors/hikers have left for the day, the atmosphere becomes cosier and the evening unfolds quite simply, surrounded by loved ones, amidst a decor of mountains and stars, before heading back to the comfortable dormitories.
The added extras: you can enjoy a break at one with nature in summer too! This protected little valley is accessible for the whole family, offering you the opportunity to admire the lake’s crystal clear water, to reach new heights and experience pure, intense emotions.
Our favourite: early in the morning, when you ski back down to the resort before the slopes open for the day: an unparalleled experience.

30m2 of sheer happiness. The smallest chalet in the Caseblanche hamlet, it has been perfectly designed for a magical break with your other half.
This mini-chalet has everything you need: a fitted kitchen, separate bedroom, west-facing balcony and wood-burning stove.
A cosy decor and concierge services mean you can really make the most of the experience.
They say it’s often the small things that make all the difference… well, this chalet has its very own ski room… and boot warmer!
The added extras: In this little hamlet (which the pretty Notre Dame de la Vie footpath runs through) of wood and stone chalets, you’ll find a grocery, as well as a mountain brasserie and a sports shop…
Our favourite: the direct access to the slopes and the gondola lift just 50 metres away, which takes you straight on to Les 3 Vallées ski area.
