Chalet Premier de Cordee, Courchevel, France

CLASSIC ALPINE CHALET WITH WONDERFUL VIEWS

Premier de Cordée is a warm and welcoming chalet just made for relaxation after a tough day on the hill! Classic detached chalet exterior, modern Alpine interior with traditional touches and rustic timber panelling. Sunsets are a particular treat from the large picture windows in the West-facing lounge and dining areas.

The lovely local owner draws on her skills as an excellent school teacher to ensure that all is in tip top condition each season. Her meticulous attention to detail is much appreciated by our staff and guests, who often describe Premier de Cordee as the perfect chocolate box style of chalet.

The steam room is popular for post ski pampering, followed by an aperitif and natter with your chalet mates around the handsome log fireplace. All five bedrooms are fully ensuite, the largest of which can easily accommodate three guests.

Premier de Cordée is situated on the edge of the village ensuring a peaceful night, yet it's just below the main road where you'll find the escalator which takes you quickly to the village centre and main ski lifts. Aquamotion is a short walk away and a visit is very highly recommended.

As well as the escalator, guests can use the regular free bus or take a six minute walk to get to the village centre. There is also a boot warmer for those bringing equipment back to the chalet.

Chalet board: cooked breakfast, afternoon tea and a 3-course evening meal with unlimited wine at dinner, coffee and mints 5 nights a week. Champagne reception with canapés on your first and last evenings, with canapés and locally made Methode Champenoise on every other catered evening. Cheeseboard once a week.

Breakfast

A hearty, substantial breakfast is vital before a day on the slopes so that's what we serve. Our morning feasts have really evolved over the last few years and we get lots of very positive feedback about them.

There's a tempting range of continental options, fresh crusty baguette and porridge and a full English breakfast is served on each of the 5 mornings when breakfast is served to you by your host.

No compromise is made on quality - we serve Heinz baked beans and ketchup, HP sauce and real teabags from the UK! Breakfast is served from 08.00 to 09.00.

Afternoon tea

Tuck into tempting treats after your day in the mountains. Help yourself to a freshly baked cake or biscuits which will have been made by your host. There will also be fresh baguette, jams, tea and coffee to enjoy.

Champagne and canapés

Canapés and Champagne or fizz are served at 7:30pm as you unwind and relax for the evening. Our house Champagne is Drappier. We know the Drappier family and they are one of the most respected families in Champagne who make their top quality drinks using environmentally aware methods and only the best ingredients. Drappier is served on the first and last day of your holiday.

On the other evenings we serve a "méthode Champenoise" made by our good friend and winemaker Nicolas Perret. Nicolas and family live just down the valley and provide all of our house wines too! Minimum wine miles, maximum quality!

Dinner

Dinner service is informal as we want you to feel at home in your chalet. Your chalet host will prepare and serve all your meals.

We work with local producers and suppliers to create an interesting and varied range of high quality home-made dishes.

Whilst you will never go hungry our staff have been trained in sustainability in the kitchen and we endeavour to keep food waste to a minimum.

After your three course dinner simply leave the table and relax with coffee and chocolates...if you have any room left!

Wine

We take our house wines very seriously and believe that they should be good enough to please every palate. We spend a long time each Autumn ensuring that the ones we choose are top quality, easy drinking wines. We only serve French wines in order to reduce our wine miles (or kilometres....).

We serve unlimited red, white and rose wine with dinner, from bottles not boxes! Choose your preference from the various different house wines we offer.

If you’re looking for an extra special treat we also have an upgrade Wine Lover’s Package. We have options for winter 2025-26 with packages starting at £65. We will review our house wines in the autumn for next winter.

Special diets

If there’s anything you’d rather not eat, whether for moral, sensory or digestive reasons, please let us know before you travel. We won’t charge you a penny extra for these special diets. Please contact us.

Children

We can serve dinner early for your youngsters who will likely be worn out after a day in the snow.

Your Chalet Host will prepare home-made, nutritious and fun dinners the kids will love!

Please let us know if you would like early dinner times or have special requests by calling us.

Chalet host days off

Your Chalet Host has two days off during the week (usually Tuesday and Friday). We will lay out continental breakfast and afternoon tea to help yourself.

In the evening, it’s a great chance to sample the local cuisine and your Guest Services Manager in resort will be happy to make a restaurant reservation for you.
