Six Senses Residences Courchevel

resort, with three one-star, three two-star and Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc, which rises to the greatest of gastronomic heights as a three-star. The Six Senses Residences Courchevel also brings its own restaurant to the fi ne dining party with Sumosan. The fi rst Alpine location for this globally recognized group, Sumosan provides the one thing Courchevel was previously lacking: good sushi. While classic mountain fondue and raclette are true delights, they can get a bit heavy. Sumosan o ff ers contemporary Japanese dishes like thinly sliced yellowtail with tru ffl e yuzu vinaigrette and miso black cod, making it an ideal lunch or dinner spot for those looking for a break from all the cheese. Based in 1850, Six Senses Residences Courchevel is surrounded by superb restaurants, so if it’s a mountain lunch you’re looking for or a bustling French bistro, Courchevel has it covered. EXPLORE From the endless wide green and blue runs that make this resort ideal for a beginner to the highest number of black runs in the Three Valleys, it’s not hyperbole to suggest the skiing in Courchevel is suited to all abilities. But it’s important to remember the mountains aren’t just for skiing and snowboarding. Those looking to enjoy the Alps at a slower pace will fi nd an abundance of hiking trails that head to beautiful high-altitude vistas. Take a chairlift up to the top of a peak, where you’ll usually fi nd a great restaurant and bar, so if you don’t fancy hitting the slopes, choose a comfortable spot and enjoy a glass of rosé or two.

SIX SENSES RESIDENCES COURCHEVEL COURCHEVEL 1850, FRANCE

Located at the center of arguably France’s most exclusive ski resort, Six Senses Residences Courchevel brings new meaning to the concept of a luxury ski property. As the largest linked ski area in the world, France’s Three Valleys is considered one of the fi nest in Europe; endless pistes crisscross these tree-lined mountains, creating a true snow sports paradise. Of the three, it’s the valley of Courchevel that’s the most sought-after — it even boasts its own runway. However, as one of the world’s shortest at only 1,760 ft in length, a landing here certainly isn’t for the faint of heart.
