Fouquet's Courchevel (formerly Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges)

• 

  A Palace-category, ski-in/ski-out hotel at the foot of the Bellecôte slope in Courchevel 1850 — Groupe Barrière's first mountain property, opened in 2016 as Les Neiges and since renamed Fouquet's Courchevel. 22 rooms and 20 suites, a 1,000 sqm spa with the largest pool among Courchevel's five-star hotels, and the Italian mountain trattoria Loulou.

• Opened in 2016 as Les Neiges, Groupe Barrière's first mountain hotel, the property has since been renamed Fouquet's Courchevel — it holds Palace category, and is a member of both Leading Hotels of the World and Virtuoso Preferred. Built directly on the legendary Bellecôte run, it offers ski-in/ski-out access to the Three Valleys, the world's largest linked ski area.

• 

  Loulou serves Italian mountain cuisine in a candlelit dining room built from reclaimed Savoyard chalet wood, alongside its sister table La Table Savoyarde for regional Savoyard produce. Renowned pastry chef Christophe Adam hosts an afternoon tea service by the fireplace, and The Lounge Bar rounds out the evening.

  The Spa Diane Barrière spans 1,000 sqm around a 20-metre pool — the longest among Courchevel's five-star hotels — with six treatment cabins, a couples' suite with its own private jacuzzi, hammam, sauna, cold bath and an outdoor jacuzzi facing the slopes.

• A ski concierge lays out warmed boots, gloves and skis at the foot of the slope each morning, and the hotel runs its own kids' club alongside experiences from dog sledding and snowmobiling to hot air balloon flights over Mont Blanc.

• Standard categories run from the 377 sqft Superior Room and 409 sqft Deluxe Room up to the 452 sqft Prestige Room, each in larch wood and chalet-inspired fabrics. Junior Suites (495 sqft) and Prestige Junior Suites (624 sqft) add a separate living area, while the Deluxe Suite (969 sqft) and Prestige Suite (1,249 sqft) come with a private butler and an open fire; the split-level Les Neiges Suite (2,217 sqft) tops the hotel's regular suite range with panoramic mountain views.

• 

  L'Appartement Les Neiges is the hotel's largest address — a 3,337 sqft private apartment across two floors, with three bedrooms, a dining room, a double lounge with a bow window, an open fire and its own butler. Along with the Les Neiges Suite, it keeps the property's original name even after the rebrand to Fouquet's.

Fouquet's Courchevel suits skiers who want to walk out the door directly onto the Bellecôte run and into the Three Valleys, with a proper spa and a genuine ski concierge service waiting at the end of the day. Its 42 rooms and suites keep it more intimate than some of the resort's larger properties, which suits couples and families well but means groups after a very large room block should confirm availability early. For a ski-in/ski-out Palace address in the heart of Courchevel 1850, this is one of the strongest choices.
