 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all, I may be searching for a unicorn here. I am fully aware that we’ve chosen an expensive resort and a crazy time of year.
I’m looking for a chalet or apartment for 12 in courchevel 1550 or 1650. New year or Christmas week. For up to £1000 per head. It must have 6 bedrooms (so, 2 per room).
I’ve been searching for weeks and am struggling to find many options. Lots of places don’t seem to have their prices out for next year yet. But I don’t want to leave it too long as we have such specific requirements.
Any suggestions on sites to look at or places I can try?

Have you looked at La Tania? Seems to be a couple of options on AirBnB

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We have looked at La Tania. At the moment I think we would like to get 1650 or 1550 so we are a bit closer to the main resort and there’s a bit more going on. We will have a few non skiers with us and would like more going on around us. La Tania is just that little bit further out. It’s certainly a back up though. Thank you.

Assuming it's a catered chalet you're after, I suspect you might have to pay a bit more for New Year.

If catered, then leski.com are the Courchevel 1650 and La Tania specialists I think - but you won't get anything for even close to £1k pp over Christmas or New Year. (Note they also provide flights, transfers, etc., but even allowing for that they won't get close on price I suspect).
With respect to C1650 versus La Tania, agree C1650 is much nicer as a place to hang out for non-skiers but, on the flipside from a skiing perspective, La Tania better located in my view. It made a big difference when we stayed there last year as it made it much easier/quicker to get to the other valleys, without really compromising our ability to ski in the broader Courchevel.

or make your life easier and ditch the non-skiers and agree to see them when you're back in blighty ?

@breeze11,
What you expecting for £1000 per head? Accommodation only? Catered? Flights & transfers too?

Your best bet otherwise, if you are determined on Courchevel, would be to get several apartments in the same building but that won't give you a nice meeting place for all.

We were in Les Saisies a couple of weeks ago and it appeared to have a great network of walking routes for non skiers, some of which allowed access to meet skiers for lunch. It's a very pretty and very French resort.
