Excellent Chalet but room for improvement
The chalet itself was very nice and exactly as depicted in the pictures as far as space, bedrooms, kitchen and an amazing balcony. The view is exceptional and is a good option for ski in/ ski out. However, the lack of information from the owners is pretty bad. There is no information on bus schedules/bus stops or any mention that the walk to the center of Courchevel moriond-1650 from Belvédère street is down a steep round about hill that takes about 25 minutes to walk. Going up is definitely a trek so be prepared as the local bus stops picking up from courchevel1650 at 8pm. The wifi is absolutely unusable and did not work for us reliably at all so be wary of that if you have that need. If you venture out to courchevel1850 for dinner, you'll have to pay fifty euro for a taxi, so also be prepared for that as no bus will take you back after 8p (again). Check in should also have a bit more information as I had to ask for the wifi password (unusable) and the code for entry. The listing states that bathroom essentials like soap, hand wash, body wash, slippers, etc are available but when we asked about it, all the owner responded with was "this is not a hotel". There were also no trash bags, sponges, or salt for the kitchen. All of these things were unfortunate. However, the property manager (not the owners) is a very nice lady (Madame Bergeron) and tried her absolute best to make our stay wonderful, which it was thanks to her. She was able to supply the kitchen items and let us know of the grocery down in 1650 to get the bath essentials. We very much appreciated her help (only speaks french, so use your translator app).
Although it doesn't state exactly how to ski in and ski out, it is definitely possible and is very convenient. No need to take the bus to get on and off the mountain if you plan accordingly.
All in all, excellent property for a big group with the need for more information sharing and easier check in to make it absolutely flawless. We were still very happy with our stay in Courchevel!
