Hotel information
The stunning Shemshak Lodge is set directly on the piste at Courchevel 1850, allowing you to explore the ski slopes of the vast Three Valleys ski area directly from the lodge. Ski lifts and the famous boutiques of Courchevel are only a two-minute drive or ten-minute walk from the lodge.
This substantial lodge is built from natural stone and timber with oak beams and alpine-chic décor of soft colours, light oak panelling and floors. The lodge offers five bedrooms which can accommodate eight adults in four en suite bedrooms and a further two adults and three children in a family en suite bedroom which includes two bunk beds. The vast open-plan living and dining room features double height vaulted ceilings, a central open fireplace and doors opening out to a wrap-around heated balcony with outdoor barbecue.
The entire ground floor is dedicated to relaxation and wellness including a good sized indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi with panoramic views across the valleys and slopes. Soothe those aching muscles in the sauna and Hammam or indulge in a body treatment in the massage room.
Shemshak Lodge is equipped with a modern Kaleidoscope media and entertainment system giving access to a full music and movie library through Apple televisions. The lodge offers iPod docking stations, toys, games, books and sledges to keep the entire family entertained while not out skiing on the slopes.
A dedicated chalet team will welcome you with a Perrier Jouet champagne reception, and will offer assistance in booking ski lessons and private guides, recommendations on information on local amenities, restaurants and bars and provide a daily breakfast, afternoon tea and pre-dinner champagne and canapés. Your private chef will prepare bespoke menus for you each day for breakfast and dinner.
