Hotel information

Elevate your Courchevel 1850 ski holiday with a stay at this exceptional Aman hotel.

Set in what is considered the most fashionable ski village in the French Alps, this boutique-size hotel has just 31 stylish suites, but the facilities of a much larger ski and spa resort.

The design is what you’d expect from Aman; a four-storey, slate roofed building which blends seamlessly into its surrounds, yet inside reveals chic, open-plan spaces with elegant oak panelling, neutral colours and roaring log fires. Views of the pine forests, pistes and mountains are showcased through large windows, with 24 of the suites having balconies.

Aman Le Mélézin’s USP is its ski-in-ski-out access to the Bellecôte ski slope, as well as to the world’s largest ski area, Les Trois Vallées. Ski butlers and a dedicated ski concierge will see to all your winter sport needs, from having your boots waiting (and warmed) ready for you each morning, to booking ski lessons for children. In fact, provision for families is excellent, with an in-house kids’ club and family rooms.

Après-ski can be enjoyed in the library or bar beside open fires. Then there is the hotel’s signature restaurant Nama for Japanese gastronomy and a Matcha tea ceremony.

The spa is a destination in itself, with all the hallmarks of Aman providing a place of warmth and wellbeing in contrast to the winter activities outside. A large heated swimming pool, yoga studio, Turkish hammam and sauna are set over two floors of the hotel and complemented by a large menu of Aman treatments and therapies.

Aman Le Mélézin is a discerning choice for your luxury ski holiday to the French Alps.

Other attractions include snow parks, snow rafting and ice carting. The Parc National de la Vanoise, on the eastern border of Les Trois Vallées offers excellent off-piste skiing.
Aman Le Mélézin offers equipment for hire and purchase, and ski butlers attend to your every need, laying out equipment as required each morning, warming your boots on the heated boot racks, and helping with any necessary maintenance.
Private instructors, mountain guides, ski passes and transportation can all be arranged by the ski concierge.
