Nestled above the snowy treeline in Courchevel's prestigious Jardin Alpin area, Les Airelles Courchevel stands as a luxurious bolthole, blending 19th-century Austro-Hungarian opulence with French authenticity. The flagship property, designed by architect and interior designer Christophe Tollemer, offers a sumptuous alpine experience at the edge of the 1850 Courchevel ski slopes.
