The Festive Season

We are delighted to welcome you at Cheval Blanc Courchevel in the heart of the Jardin Alpin to celebrate a season of festivities punctuated by surprises that will enchant young and young-at-heart alike. In a magical world of joy, perfect for relaxation and refined pleasures, we have concocted a dazzling programme for the end of the year celebrations.

The Festive Season

Step into our Maison, elegantly decorated by Dior and let yourself be lulled by the scents of fir trees and traditional Christmas spices. Share unforgettable

moments with your family in a warm and cosy atmosphere while enjoying a delicious hot chocolate by the crackling fire, or enjoy a romantic getaway for

a moment of well-being with your loved one.

On Christmas Day, family will be at the centre of all attention, carried away on a fantastic journey, sweet blend of winter delicacies and unforgettable

experiences. Santa Claus, more facetious than ever, will bring a collection of treats in his precious sack that will please children and parents alike. You will

just have enough time to recover from your emotions and the New Year's Eve will already begin. As the last hours of 2019 approach, you will be invited

to a sparkling evening rhythmed by live music and culinary discoveries from here and far.

At Cheval Blanc Courchevel, the magic of winter is savoured through unforgettable experiences that will enchant your stay with us.

Snow lovers will be thrilled by The First Track: at dawn, you will have the privilege of being the very first to slide down the snow-covered slopes accompanied by an experienced ski patroller. After an invigorating day, indulge in the cocoon of our Alpine Maison and let yourself be pampered by our Ambassadeurs. Escape to the Cheval Blanc Spa for instants of relaxation in the spirit of wellbeing and bucolic rituals, then rendezvous to our bubbly restaurants to taste the gourmet creations carefully prepared by our Chefs. And it is with a lighter mind and a relaxed body that you will fall asleep lulled by the stars, before the start of a new joyful day.

We are looking forward to sharing these precious moments of happiness and poetry with you.

Sincerely,

Wilfried Morandini

General Manager

FROM DECEMBER 22 TO DECEMBER 25

LA BÛCHE DES CÎMES BY YANNICK ALLÉNO

To be ordered in the Maison

This season, the Christmas log takes on a bucolic and rural look. Inspired by the Tavaillon, the traditional shingle used in the French Alps, it reflects the artistic codes of the cottages that make the charm of the Savoyard destination. A gourmet journey between flavour and tradition, paying tribute to the architecture around Cheval Blanc Courchevel, which invites to Alpine dreams all around the world. This chocolate log is embellished by a fir tree heart, a coffee biscuit, a chocolate mousse and sweet notes of cardamom, the emblematic winter spice for an enchanted winter by the fire.

THE ARRIVAL OF SANTA CLAUS AT CHEVAL BLANC

Terrace of Le Triptyque restaurant • 6:30 pm

This year, Santa Claus is playing hard to get… While the whole family is busy dressing the majestic Christmas tree on the terrace of Le Triptyque, everyone is still looking for Santa Claus. Where is he hiding? Our little elves head out for a hide-and-seek with this funny Santa Claus. Christmas’ magic whirls around enchanting winter fragrances, choral songs and gourmet delicacies to wait before the traditional Christmas gift giving at the foot of the tree, followed by a memorable photo session.

A SENSORY INTERLUDE AT THE CHEVAL BLANC SPA

THE FIRST TRACK

Upon request

A privileged experience for ski lovers: be the first to hurtle down the snow-covered slopes in the first rays of rosy dawn. At the very first hours of the day, after a gentle wake-up call with a delicious detox juice and a homemade cereal bar specially prepared by our Chefs, a ski patroller takes you on a snowy adventure. You slide along the slopes of the Saulire, the highest slope in the Trois Vallées, alone with Nature, just before the opening of the ski domain.

CREATIVE WORKSHOP

Le Carrousel • Depending on the daily programme

Every day, the little guests create their own works of art: candle jar, cookie decoration or salt dough sculpture. The Ambassadeurs of Le Carroussel introduce the little ones to the art of creativity.

THE ART OF GATHERING

La Table de Partage • Upon request

This generous table tailor-made by the artist Gilles Hoang invites to share a convivial moment with family or with friends. This exclusive dining room can be privatised for any occasion, even for a simple desire to gather in complete privacy. The Chef creates menus in the pure family tradition according to the wishes of the guests, while the Sommelier invites you to discover surprising combinations to sublimate the terroirs of the French Alps and beyond.

APRÈS-SKI YOGA

Cheval Blanc Spa • Upon appointment only

A gentle and meditative practice to relax after a long day out on the slopes. Slow, targeted stretching will help you relax and recover in depth… A comforting session that allows you to set off the next morning, to discover the snow-covered slopes of the Trois Vallées.

On behalf of the Culinary team of Cheval Blanc Courchevel, we invite you to celebrate this holiday season filled with excitement, family festivities and culinary delights. Throughout this year’s festive season, the Maison will be offering handcrafted gastronomic adventures and journeys presented by our talented Ambassadeurs.
