Chalet The Loft in Courchevel with 4 bedrooms and self catered.
Le Loft is a 4 bedroom luxury apartment, overlooking the rooftops of the old quarter of Moriond, Courchevel and is surrounded by a plethora of snowy pistes. Its in a unique and prime location, just a 3-4 minute walk from the village centre and lifts and offers a sense of space and light, the wrap-around balconies and full-length windows capturing the entire valley view. Truly a stunning option when viewed with a glass of something as the sun sets on a great day in the mountains…
The living area is bright and open, thanks to the spacious double-height sitting room, pale wood and the wall-to-wall views. Muted tones of grey within the soft furnishings make for a relaxed feel, with thoughtfully-positioned lighting creating a warm ambience. Relax in front go the Apple TV or check on any emails with the complimentary WiFi.
The four bedrooms have been carefully planned to make the most of this superb location, with great views from each of the four twin or double rooms. All are en-suite with either a bath or shower and WC and of course those creature comforts: robe, slippers, botanical toiletries and fluffy towels. The private hydrotherapy spa in Le Loft has a glitzy feel and is a chic spot to unwind with a glass of bubbles, whilst in the bubbles. A table football has been added for a little fun in the evening.
As a self-catered ski property, the kitchen is sleek, modern and well stocked with plenty of equipment for cooking during your holiday including a Nespresso machine. Moriond has a choice of supermarkets in the village centre and we can arrange a pre-holiday shopping service for your arrival. A housekeeper will visit daily to make sure the place is spotless and tidy when you arrive back from the slopes. We can also organise a chef either just for a couple of meals or for the entire week, if you fancy dining in without the effort, or can offer a pre cooked food delivery service which is popular.
Moriond has a huge selection of great restaurants and bars, whether you’re after a quick snack or fine dining. Don’t miss Cucina Angelina, Angela Hartnett’s gorgeous Italian restaurant which serves wood-fired pizzas, Italian classics and meat cooked on an open fire and with Courchevel 1850 just 10 minutes away on the free bus, the dining possibilities are endless!
Le Loft has secure ski storage within the communal building, but most guests take advantage of the chalets heated ski lockers next to the lift. After a day on the slopes, all you need to do is pop your equipment into the locker and head to one of the friendly local bars for après-ski. Try the sun terrace at L’Alambic for Belgian beers, a vin chaud at Le Schuss bar or indulge in a gourmet hot chocolate whilst wrapped in a furry blanket at Fire and Ice at the foot of the Belvedere piste.
Skiing in Moriond is heaven for intermediate skiers, with a large choice of wide open blue pistes to enjoy. The newly-installed nursery slopes at the top of the brand new gondola are perfect for beginners, with a Wild West tepee area making it attractive for children. Strong intermediates and experts have the entire Three Valleys as a playground!
The nearby Aquamotion swimming pool and spa is a huge highlight for visitors to Moriond. Ideal for children and non-skiers, we recommend the 18-hour pass which gives plenty of opportunity to use up excess energy on the slides, or to relax in one of the adults-only spa zones. There’s also a seriously cool climbing wall which is popular with youngsters, as is the wakeboarding wave centre.
For thrills and spills, a new 3 kilometre luge run is being installed which will run from the top of the Moriond bubble lift right down into resort. With so much excitement and choices within the area, this could be your perfect choice for any party of up to 10.

FRANCE
France is the most popular Alpine country for British skiers and snowboarders and generally offers a more modern aspect of skiing in relation to towns and villages with many villages built around convenience for skiers and boarders alike.
There are of course a number of traditional French ski resorts. Courchevel is a key gateway to the vast area of the ‘Les Trois Vallæcopy;es’ which claims to be the biggest linked ski region in the world. Its rival is the Portes du Soleil network of ski areas (with Avoriaz and Morzine at its heart) which spreads across the French border into Switzerland.Pretty much the same size as the 3 Valleys, but both argue as to which is the largest, but its a close call.
The Three Valleys is dominated by four major resorts: Courchevel, Mæcopy;ribel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens – the highest ski resort in the Alps. Each of these four resorts has more than enough terrain to keep a skier or boarder happily and easily occupied for a week or more during a skiing holiday in France, so the opportunity to ski all four, as well as La Tania and St Martin de Belleville, provides innumerable options.
In the Portes du Soleil, neighbouring Avoriaz and Morzine are gateways to a dozen or more family ski resorts in France and Switzerland. Chamonix, dominated by the Mont Blanc Massif, is another major attraction with several resorts scattered along the valley, including Argentière, rated by some keen off-piste skiers and boarders as one of the best ski resorts in France – or the entire Alps for that matter. They will also be keen to try the Vallæcopy;e Blanche – a classic off-piste descent – with a high-mountain guide.
Another resort overlooked by the impressive Mont Blanc is Flaine, linked with a handful of resorts including Les Carroz and Samoens, with some of the most extensive slopes in France. That’s even more true of the Tignes-Val d’Isère Ski Area – the linked areas of Val d’Isère and Tignes – formerly called Espace Killy after the celebrated Olympic triple-gold medallist Jean-Claude Killy. Together these neighbouring resorts provide some of the most exciting skiing in France, particularly for off-piste enthusiasts. Tignes has the added advantage of regular glacier skiing on the Grande Motte glacier and like Val Thorens is regarded as THE most snow sure French resorts.
Two more giants of the French skiing world which are co joined and undoubtedly among the best family ski resorts in France, are La Plagne and Les Arcs.The area is known as Paradiski, linked by a huge cable car. La Plagne has a dozen or so linked hamlets and villages spread across slopes in all directions, while Les Arcs too, like Courchevel, has a handful of ski villages and satellite resorts at various altitudes.Arc 1950 and Vallandry are favourites.
La Clusaz is a traditional pretty village with some great skiing and ideal for people looking for a short transfer from Geneva.Great for families, short breaks or just for a week its a lovely traditional village we rate highly.Megeve, also offering a short transfer from Geneva, is a larger traditional village with a modern twang and again rates highly on our list for aesthetic beauty and convenience.Definitely another must see and ski resort.
Further south in the French Alps and accessed via flights to Grenoble and Lyon, are two more great resorts: Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d’Huez. High and snow sure and in the same part of the world, one the same ski pass, is the fabulous Serre Chevalier ski network, linked with the UNESCO world heritage site of Briançon and enjoying the wonderful Roman baths in Montier.
Montgenèvre also deserves a mention and if flying into Turin, the transfers are short, plus you have the opportunity to ski in both France and Italy during your ski holiday. Montgenèvre also boasts some of the best snow conditions in the French alps. Family friendly and snow sure La Rosiere also shares the same pass with La Thuile also in Italy and comes recommended especially as peak times as its quieter than other French ski resorts.
