High in the snow-covered peaks of Courchevel 1850, a new story is about to unfold — one that brings together heritage, design, and soul-stirring views in the heart of the French Alps. Welcome to Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin, the brand’s debut winter resort and a fresh benchmark in modern alpine hospitality. Located in the exclusive Jardin Alpin enclave, this ski-in, ski-out escape opens the door to Les Trois Vallées, the world’s largest ski area — and to a deeper kind of mountain experience altogether.
Designed not as a typical hotel, but as a lived-in mountain retreat, Rosewood Courchevel offers a quietly radical take on what luxury in the Alps can mean today. The interiors — envisioned by celebrated French designer Tristan Auer — combine organic materials like timber and stone with modern flourishes of copper, glass, and mirror, creating a sensorial balance between warmth and refinement.
Each guest is welcomed through carved sculptural doors into a world that feels equal parts private chalet and modern sanctuary. Think fireplaces that glow across snow-laced terraces, textured fabrics that mirror the landscape’s natural palette, and artworks that invite reflection, not just admiration.
One of the visual centrepieces is a suspended art installation by Olafur Eliasson — two crystal structures suspended within mirrored walls, creating the illusion of infinite movement. It is a space that stirs curiosity, draws the gaze, and leaves you quietly breathless.
The resort features 51 rooms and suites, many with panoramic seated terraces that frame the snowy valleys of Courchevel and beyond. For families or friends travelling together, three signature houses offer expansive living spaces — including interconnecting rooms, private dining areas, and curated art collections.
The crown jewel is the Jardin Alpin Apartment — a four-bedroom residence with high ceilings, its own cinema room, a private kitchen, and terraces overlooking the dramatic La Saulire peak. It feels designed not just for ski holidays, but for moments that become lifelong memories: intimate dinners, movie nights, long breakfasts after fresh snowfall.
At the heart of Rosewood Courchevel is a dining experience that transforms throughout the day. The property’s Mediterranean-inspired restaurant begins with lunch on the terrace, where generous alpine classics like Savoyard fondue and slow-cooked regional dishes are served against a backdrop of blue skies and snow-dusted pines.
By evening, the atmosphere softens. The après-ski ritual takes over, with vintage wines, refined cocktails, and a bespoke à la carte menu designed to suit the shift in mood. There is music, there is storytelling, and there is a warmth that invites you to linger long after the slopes have emptied.
Of course, the real draw of Courchevel is the snow — and Rosewood’s Ski Concierge team elevates every outing. Acting more like lifestyle curators than traditional guides, they personalise every slope-side moment, from equipment fittings to private mountain excursions.
Guests can book exclusive experiences like First and Last Track, where you are among the first (or last) to glide down untouched slopes with a private instructor — a quiet, almost meditative moment of stillness above the valley. For a celebration with a twist, there is the option to dine at a secluded summit chalet, complete with a traditional Savoyard feast and private fireworks under the alpine stars.
At Asaya®, Rosewood’s integrative wellness concept, recovery and rejuvenation are not afterthoughts — they are rituals. This Courchevel outpost blends Eastern traditions with advanced skincare and holistic treatments designed specifically for wintertime vitality.
Signature offerings include the Ski Legs Revival, a 60-minute post-slope massage using cryotherapy, jet boots, and aromatherapy to soothe muscles and stimulate circulation. For those seeking a glow, the Oxylight 3D Radiance Ceremony combines diamond microdermabrasion, oxygen infusion, and LED light therapy in one deeply restorative facial.
Wellness here also extends beyond the spa room. Guests can try Mountain Pilates with sweeping views, or silent movement sessions in nature that blend breathwork and stretching — an invitation to slow down and reconnect, far from the distractions of daily life.
