Food and drink at Le Portetta
-
Hotel restaurant
Hearty Savoyard fare is on offer at the hotel’s wood-lined restaurant: fondue, tartiflette and amazing cheese plates to make sure you’re replacing all calories burnt on the slopes. At night, the twinkling lights of the valley and low-lighting up the romance levels. Food is also served outdoors, on Courchevel’s biggest terrace, no less, and in the Brasserie.
- Dress code Smart après-ski: cashmere and cable knits.
- Top table Fill up in between runs without even taking off your boots by sitting out in the Brasserie or Terrace. Indoors, go for a valley-facing window seat where you can watch the stars sparkle over the snow.
- Last orders Breakfast is served between 7.30am and 10am; have lunch from noon until 2.30pm and dinner between 7pm and 9pm. A snacks menu is served until 5pm. The bar shuts at 11pm.

Our favourite rooms
Shell out the extra cash for a Piste View every time – these rooms are perfectly placed not only for mountain vistas, but spectacular sunrises, thanks to their perch in the sunniest patch of Courchevel. Book a loft if you fancy lots of open-plan space and your own roaring fire.
Packing tips
Don’t panic if you’ve left any gear behind: the hotel has its own ski shop.
Also
There’s a Darphin spa with three treatment rooms, a blue-tiled steam room, hammam and sauna, as well as a chill-out area with wicker beds to unwind on pre- or post-pampering; try a hydrating facial or the muscle-soothing post-sport massage.
