Location of Chalet Founets Aval in Courchevel

Founets Aval is located just over the road from the Bellecote piste and in the most sought after area of Courchevel 1850. A gentle green piste takes you the few hundred yards to La Croisette, the main lift hub of the resort. For absolute beginners, or for those just looking to do some window shopping at Prada, Armani and Louis Vuitton, we operate a morning ski school drop off on request for complete beginners, and a daily shuttle service between 1850 and our chalets in the afternoon from 4.30 - 7.30pm. Ski hire at Founets Aval is provided by White Storm who offer an in chalet fit service

Chalet Founets Aval Summary

The joy of a chalet next to the piste has got to be languishing lazily over breakfast or squeezing in that last twilight piste as the lifts closedown for the day.

Position isn't always everything, but Founets Aval in Courchevel, a few steps from the Bellecote piste, certainly makes your ski holiday extremely easy.

Plenty of Savoyarde character and a touch of Alpine chintz in this little gem. From the abundance of wooden beams, frescos, hunting trophies and huge log fire in the galleried living area to the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms and spectacular views, this is a simple but extremely comfortable home from which to glide away to explore the Courchevel slopes.

Sleeping up to nine guests, the chalet has four en suite bedrooms and a small snug off the mezzanine. The galleried mezzanine itself has a comfy sofa and widescreen TV to relive your day by GoPro or catch up on your favourite shows after dinner.

An ingenious sauna that can turn itself into a steam room offers a touch of indulgence and relief for aching limbs.
