First and foremost, you will choose L’Apogée Courchevel For its location: perched atop the former Olympic ski jump, the hotel offers an absolutely breathtaking view of the valley. A must-visit hotel Oetker Collection (just like the Bristol and Fregate Island, among others), L’Apogée Courchevel stands out as a place that combines elegance, sophistication, and impeccable, attentive service.

When it comes to accommodations, there’s a wide selection to choose from among the 53 rooms and suites, the Penthouse, and the two chalets. For added comfort, some rooms and suites feature a double hammam. While the Penthouse at L’Apogée Courchevel is undoubtedly the ultimate luxury experience, it’s reserved for large families, with its four bedrooms and two jacuzzis! The more affordable suites are furnished and decorated in a contemporary style and are particularly cozy: ranging from 45 to 100 square meters, they all feature unique decor. Ask to stay in one of the suites with a view (especially the Prestige suites): after all, that’s one of the highlights of staying at L’Apogée Courchevel.

Let’s face it, people also come to L’Apogée Courchevel for the food! Le Comptoir de L’Apogée, the hotel’s signature restaurant, combines traditional French cuisine with Japanese «Koori» dishes to be enjoyed at the counter. And because the hotel welcomes families on vacation, every detail has been carefully considered to ensure a flawless stay: a pool at the Sisley Spa, trendy shops, and even a kids' club suitable for all ages, with customized programs.

Located in the heart of the Jardin Alpin, L’Apogée Courchevel is ideally situated for all your winter sports and summer hiking needs. A private limousine service is available for transfers to the train station or airport.

Inspiration

Shopping
There's no need to leave your hotel if you're looking for clothing that combines sportswear and fashion. However, the resort has some wonderful surprises in store for you when it comes to treats (check out the chocolatier Black Run) or gifts for kids and adults (The Bear's Cabin (It'll make you fall in love with it.).

Out for a walk
Since you’re right in the heart of the ski area, you might as well make the most of the mountains at 200%. And for a change from the usual snowshoe hikes, why not try ice climbing? High-mountain guides will accompany you to ensure a safe outdoor adventure.

Zen
The Sisley Spa at L’Apogée Courchevel features not only a stunning pool, but also a hot tub, steam room, sauna, and salt cave. We love the «Phyto-Aromatic Post-Ski Recovery» treatment to restore your skin’s radiance after spending hours on the slopes.

In the suitcase
Don't forget your high-protection sunscreen and a tube of lip balm. And there's no need to bring a lot of gear—all the ski equipment and clothing you need are available at the resort. As for your best outfits, they're a must if you want to try all of Courchevel's Michelin-starred restaurants.
