Skiing in a Winter Wonderland

Once upon a time there was a beautiful hotel that stood nestled away from the rest of the world in the Jardin Alpin of Courchevel 1850. A hotel that I had often marvelled from the Alpin Jardin lift which goes over head. But last week I got the chance to step inside this Winter Wonderland on our recent familiarisation trip to the Alps.

The Hotel Les Airelles is adorned inside and out with hand-painted, Alpine motifs and makes for a spectacular in itself. Not to mention the carousel, out-door ice rink, ice-grotto, bumper-sized games-room and the team of attentive and cheery staff who are all dressed in traditional, Savoyard costume.  At night the wood around this ski-in, ski-out, Winter palace is illuminated with tiny fairy lights. You might even be able to spot the odd magical animal if you look carefully enough!

But the Hotel Les Airelles is definitely not just for children. With a Valmont spa, boutique by Valentino, gastronomic restaurant by Pierre Gagnaire and a designer ski boutique, this hotel is the dream world of many an adult too!

For any questions about the Hotel Les Airelles or any other family friendly hotels, please call the Oxford Ski Company on + 44 (0) 1865 398130 and ask for a hotel specialist.
