Le K2 Altitude Hotel, Courchevel 1850

Situated on the pistes on the exclusive Route de l’Altiport in Courchevel 1850 the hotel offers what few hotels can in the mountains - Luxurious comfort and service!

At the spa of this hotel, the Swiss laboratory “la Prairie”, a synonym of excellence offers a complete range of facial and body treatments. The therapists, regularly trained in the latest techniques, stimulate your vital energy centres, eliminating stress and tension and raising après ski to an art form. A hairdressing salon and massage-physiotherapy parlour complete the range of services.

There are three bars at this hotel. The Cellar is a wine bar with a long list of exceptional wines and rare vintages, and there is a sommelier at hand to help you choose.

Le 1865 takes its name from the year in which the K2 was first explored by a European team. Open from noon to 23:00, it is the perfect place to share a bite, try its version of the traditional Alpine afternoon tea with Sébastien Vauxion's contemporary and classic pastry creations, or have an imaginative cocktail to the sound of live music in the evening.

The Churchill Klub is the ideal place to sample rare spirits and cigars.

With a Michelin star, Le Montgomerie takes its name from the climber who gave the K2 its moniker. Chef Gatien Demcyna and pastry chef Sébastien Vauxion serve fantastic and creative culinary delights.

At dinnertime, Demcyna unveils his knowledge in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine at La Cima.

Finally, Le K2 Altitude Base Kamp is a mountain restaurant at the foot of the Pralong piste with a large terrace around a fire pit where you can enjoy lunch or a bite from their Italian-inspired menu.

Book My Round

The main lift hub for Courchevel is conveniently in the centre of the resort. There are a choice of 4 lifts directly from the snow front or if you would rather start skiing straight away you can ski down to Courchevel Village and Le Praz. The first of the four main lifts is the Chenus Bubble Lift which leads over towards the Col de la Loze Chair Lift connection with Meribel and La Tania. The Verdons Bubbe Lift which takes you to the top of resort where there are also connections to Meribel and skiing towards Courchevel Moriond. The Verdons lift is split into two halves, the first provides access to gentle greens and blues and the second more challenging reds and blacks. The remaining two options from the snow front are the Jardin Alpin Bubble Lift and the Bellecote Drag lift which both lead to beginner areas. If queues are particularly busy first thing in the morning, it is worth taking a short ski from the snow front to the Plantrey Chair Lift from where you can ski down to La Tania or take connections to Meribel.
