The Cheval Blanc Courchevel: LVMH's Alpine Masterpiece
The Cheval Blanc at Courchevel 1850 is the most celebrated address in Alpine hospitality. FFGR makes the arrival worthy of the destination.
The Cheval Blanc at Courchevel 1850 is, in the vocabulary of LVMH's hotel collection, the flagship alpine address. Opened in 2006 and comprehensively repositioned within the LVMH portfolio in subsequent years, it occupies a position on the ski slopes above the village that makes it, literally, the highest address in the resort. Its 36 rooms and suites, the Spa Guerlain, the Le 1947 restaurant — named for the legendary Cheval Blanc vintage — and the ski-in/ski-out access that places the Saulire lifts within a short walk: these are the details that have made it one of the most requested addresses in European luxury travel.
The arrival at the Cheval Blanc is a structured experience. The hotel's access road branches from the main resort road above the Forum, climbing to the hotel's dedicated drop-off point with a view that encompasses the entire resort and, on a clear day, the Mont Blanc massif in the distance. FFGR chauffeurs have made this approach many times, and the specific requirements of the hotel — the timing, the luggage coordination, the protocol for guests arriving with security details — are understood and respected.
For guests arriving by helicopter at the Courchevel altiport, the Cheval Blanc is a particularly convenient destination. The hotel's position above the resort places it within five minutes of the helipad, and the transfer is managed with the precision that an LVMH address expects. FFGR coordinates with the hotel's concierge team in advance of all helicopter arrivals to ensure the handover from aviation to hotel is instantaneous.
The Cheval Blanc also serves as a base for FFGR's Courchevel operations in high season. The hotel's relationships with the finest restaurants, wellness practitioners, and private services in the resort are complementary to FFGR's own network. Guests of the Cheval Blanc who use FFGR for their ground transport find a service that is already familiar with the hotel's standards and prepared to match them in every detail.
