Luxury Ski & Legendary Après-Ski

The Three Valleys — the world's largest ski area with 600km of linked pistes — is Courchevel's playground. VIPMAKKI arranges private ski guides, heli-skiing excursions, and premium ski butlers who meet you slope-side with warm boots. Après-ski reaches its zenith at La Folie Douce Méribel-Courchevel, where champagne showers and live DJs defy the altitude. Le Bar de L'Apogée and Le Black Pyramid deliver refined, exclusive après.

Alpine Arrival

Private Aviation to Courchevel

Courchevel Altiport is legendary — one of the world's shortest and highest commercial runways at 2,008m with an 18.6% gradient. For larger jets, VIPMAKKI arranges private charters to Chambéry, Grenoble, Lyon, or Geneva, followed by helicopter transfers directly to your hotel's private landing pad. The final ascent over the snow-covered peaks into Courchevel 1850 is an arrival you'll never forget.
