L'Apogee Courchevel

Courchevel is no stranger to starry resorts, but among the glitziest is the Oetker Collection outpost there. L’Apogée, a classic chalet that’s so idyllic, it could be made of gingerbread, has official French Palace status – as well as its own aerodrome, ski-in, ski-out proximity to the piste (all 600 kilometres of Les Trois Vallées) and a La Prairie spa. There’s also a sushi restaurant, a cigar lounge, a ski room and self-contained chalets for groups.
