It’s like coming home – that is the feeling you get on
arriving at the beautiful Portetta Mountain Lodges. After winding your way up
the mountain to the exclusive Belvedere area of Courchevel 1650, you are
greeted with a warm welcome into these fantastic chalets.
Set along the piste –
all are either ski in/ski out or piste facing and just a couple of steps from
the slopes – the quiet enclave is just one row of chalets nestled onto the
slope. The sense of space and privacy is peaceful and unusual in chalets of
this calibre, with space at such a premium in the best resorts.
The Lodges are 4 chalets, each named after a local animal –
Chamois, Blanchot and Marmotte, and not forgetting the delightful PetiteMarmotte. With a range of sizes from the 7 en suite bedrooms in Chamois to the
romantic one bedroom Petite Marmotte, there is a chalet for every party! The
chalets’ decor has an emphasis on local woods and stone, with the theme of the
chalet name running throughout – chamois print cushions on the sofa in Chalet
Chamois and rabbit carved legs on the dining table in Chalet Blanchot – and showcases
the owner's love of taxidermy; artworks in themselves.
Everything has been thought of here; each chalet has its own
outdoor hot tub, and with the exception of Petite Marmotte all have a sauna,
massage bed and cinema room. The mezzanine of each chalet is a dedicated
children’s area, with two single beds for the little ones and a selection of
toys and books, all themed with the chalet. On each child’s bed is a handmade
toy in the shape of the chalets namesake – a wonderful touch.
What really stands out at these chalets though is the
service; nothing is too big or small a request. The staff are fantastic,
anticipating your needs and going above and beyond to make your stay
outstanding. With chefs trained in some of the best restaurants in the world,
the food is exceptional as well!
To top this all off, when we arrived the snow finally
started falling – and it didn’t stop! It was a shame not to be able to enjoy
the beautiful views, but it’s a small sacrifice to make for the powdery ski
days!
