Courchevel 1850 has always defined alpine living at the highest level. The One&Only Private Homes in Courchevel will elevate it further in 2030 with a rare collection of branded residences for sale inside the brand’s first French alpine ski resort.
One&Only in Courchevel
There are places in the world where buying property means something different. Courchevel 1850 is one of them. Not because of the mountains, though they are extraordinary, and not simply because of the skiing, though Les Trois Vallées puts you at the centre of the largest ski area on earth. It is because 1850 operates on its own terms.
It has its own culture, its own clientele, and a standard of living that has been refined over decades.
One&Only Private Homes in Courchevel – A Rare Opportunity
In 2030, One&Only will open its first French alpine property on the site of the historic Courcheneige Hotel, within the exclusive Jardin Alpin neighbourhood.
Alongside the resort comes an exceptionally limited collection of One&Only Private Homes, representing something genuinely uncommon at this level in the Alps: the full infrastructure of an ultra-luxury hospitality group applied directly to private ownership, in one of the most supply-constrained resort destinations anywhere.
The number of branded residences is small by design, and opportunities of this calibre, at this altitude and in this postcode, have a habit of not returning.
For buyers, the ownership proposition is clear. A private home within a fully operational One&Only resort means access to world-class services and amenities, from dedicated concierge and in-residence dining to ski concierge, housekeeping and the full depth of the resort’s wellness and social offering, all managed and maintained to the standards of one of the world’s leading hospitality groups.
It removes the complexity that typically comes with running a high-value mountain home across seasons and from a distance, while ensuring the experience of being there matches the quality of the property itself.
Whether you are in residence for a week or a month, the experience is consistent, and when you are not there, you can be assured that your home is in good hands.
What also distinguishes this project is that Kerzner International is both the developer and the operator, the team responsible for the vision behind the buildings is the same one that will govern daily life within them. An alignment that is less common in branded residence schemes than buyers might assume, and one that materially reduces the gap between what is promised at the point of sale and what is delivered over time.
Life at the Top
The One&Only Private Homes in Courchevel, sit within the Jardin Alpin, one of the most private and elevated addresses in 1850, with views that take in the full sweep of Les Trois Vallées.
The Bellecôte slope runs directly below, which means mornings begin without the usual negotiation of transfers, queues or car parks. For owners who are here primarily to ski, that proximity is not a selling point so much as a way of life.
Early mornings on the mountain, the kind of skiing that justifies the purchase every time. A long, unhurried lunch taken slope-side when the light is at its best. Afternoons that will drift back to the snow or ease gradually toward evening.
The après-ski offering has been designed with genuine social ambition. Warm, wood-clad lounges, open fires, the particular energy of a room filling with people who have had a good day on the mountain. The crowd here will not be exclusively resort guests.
Courchevel’s broader social set tends to find its way to the places that earn it, and One&Only is creating something that should do exactly that. For owners, being part of that scene rather than adjacent to it is one of the quieter advantages of living within the resort rather than staying nearby.
Dinner here will be taken seriously, as it must be in a destination where gastronomy carries the weight it does in 1850. The restaurants within the resort will meet that standard, with alpine cooking delivered with the warmth One&Only brings to every table, set against mountain views that shift from afternoon gold to deep winter dark over the course of an evening.
Recovery and Renewal at The Resort
A week at altitude, on serious terrain, leaves a particular kind of tiredness in the body. The spa has been conceived around that specific physical reality rather than as a general wellness amenity. The thermal circuit moves between indoor pools and outdoor terraces, where the contrast between warm water and cold alpine air does what rest alone cannot.
Private treatment rooms focus on the cumulative fatigue that builds through the legs and back across days of skiing, and dedicated movement and recovery spaces support owners who want to maintain performance across an extended stay rather than simply recover from it.
Why One&Only, Why Here
One&Only has built its reputation on resorts that feel genuinely rooted in the places they occupy. Moonlight Basin in Montana was the brand’s first step into alpine territory. Courchevel represents a considerably more prominent one.
The Courcheneige site carries real history within 1850, and the approach taken here has been to honour that rather than erase it, transforming a storied address into something that meets contemporary expectations without losing what made it matter in the first place.
The branded residences belong to that same thinking. They are conceived as part of a single, coherent vision for alpine life rather than an ancillary product bolted onto a hotel project.
For owners, the resort is the daily framework: the restaurants, the spa, the social spaces, the direct access to the mountain, all of it available on their terms, as an extension of home rather than an amenity to be booked.
The Moment to Move
In most markets, 2030 would feel comfortably distant. In Courchevel, where serious buyers tend to move well ahead of the wider conversation, it is closer than it appears. Projects of this nature do not stay quiet for long in Courchevel. The conversation is worth having now.
