Think of the 3 Valleys and you think first of the world’ biggest, most exciting ski area, but then when you think of your accommodation options it’s almost all in modern, functional but fairly soulless resorts. So we’re delighted to be able to offer Chalet Louis, a hidden gem that’s located on a cobbled street in the heart of Le Praz, Courchevel's most charming village. So bags of character but still with full functionality and fast, easy access to the slopes from its central location in the village; they’re just five minutes’ walk away.
Originally a traditional farmhouse, "La Ferme de Louis" the building has been meticulously converted to a charming chalet, retaining its true character. The open plan lounge has plenty of comfortable seating around the original stone fireplace leading into the dining area where there’s a large farmhouse table. The 4 bedroom chalet sleeps 8 people retaining but can accommodate an extra bed which we will be happy to organise on an individual basis.
Location:
Chalet Louis is nestled in the heart of Courchevel Le Praz in a traditional stone building. It is a five minute walk to the main gondola and newly installed chair lift giving fast and easy access to the 3 Valleys Ski Domain. You can ski back to Le Praz along a winding forest piste. The Chalet is within the village centre with its narrow winding cobbled streets, traditional village shops, renowned restaurants and après ski bars. If you want even more choice of bars and restaurants a free shuttle bus runs from Le Praz to Courchevel 1850.

Meals in Chalet Louis, Courchevel
Breakfast:
As skiers ourselves, we know how important breakfast is to set you up for a good day on the mountain so take your pick from porridge and eggs cooked to order, French bread, preserves, flaky croissants, yogurt, muesli, cereals and each day a differing cooked option which includes sausages and bacon, fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, all served alongside fruit juice and freshly brewed coffee or our specially imported Yorkshire tea.
Afternoon Tea:
It’s a favourite chalet tradition, coming back to your chalet at the end of a hard day on the piste to a freshly baked cake along with tea and coffee.
Dinner:
Put your feet up and relax with a Vin Chaud while your host cooks your delicious three course candlelit dinner. Our evening meals are friendly and sociable so you can take your time and enjoy the food in a dinner party atmosphere. Our menu is freshly prepared to create delicious wholesome dishes that range from local mountain favourites such as a traditional rich boeuf bourguignon to delicately fragrant chicken all served with delicious accompaniments and seasonal vegetables. We finish with scrumptious desserts such as a classic warming apple crumble or a melt in your mouth chocolate fondant. All of our food is complimented with a choice of handpicked wines supplied by our wine merchant Le Verre Gourmand and finally we round off the evening with freshly brewed coffee and tea.
Wines:
Your host will serve wine throughout the meal which we have specially chosen to accompany the dishes on our menu. We use a specialist wine merchant supplier called Le Verre Gourmand who provide us with a good selection of white and red wines based on our extensive pre-season wine tastings which we do every year plus invaluable feedback that we receive each year from our guests.
Children’s Meals:
We are always happy to provide an earlier evening meal of family favourites, for our younger guests, just let us know their likes and dislikes and we will do the rest.
Special Diets:
If you have any particular dietary requirements please talk to us beforehand so we can do our best to get things just how you like it. We are able to source ingredients for you as long as we know beforehand but there may be a small additional charge for dietary issues as some items are very hard to obtain in the French Alps.
Staff Day Off:
Our chalet staff have one day off during your stay. On their day off breakfast is provided for you and it will be all laid out the night before. In the evening it’s a great chance to try out one of the local restaurants; your chalet host will know all the good ones and will be pleased to make a reservation for you.
“Plus” Service Option:
We offer a “Plus” option to all guests who have booked a whole chalet and wish to upgrade to this service. This enhanced service includes, canapes, our candlelit three course dinner accompanied by our premium wine together with a local cheeseboard and freshly brewed coffee, tea and chocolates. Please let us know a couple of weeks before your holiday and we will arrange everything for you. For full information including the charges please contact us.
