Chalet Blanchot

Courchevel , France

Chalet Blanchot is a beautiful new chalet in the Belvedere enclave of Courchevel, which combines tranquil and stylish surroundings with the largest ski area in the Alps. The spa and cinema room are ideal for unwinding after a long day, while the living and dining room are chic and cosy spaces to relax in. Sleeping up to 10 adults and two children, the chalet offers excellent services, too. An accomplished chalet chef is available on request to prepare gourmet evening meals, and a chalet manager with a wealth of resort knowledge is on hand to offer advice and assistance.
