Six Senses Residences Courchevel achieves an unparalleled and unrivalled alpine experience in the heart of the French Alps. Inspired by its surroundings, the residences combine the contemporary with traditional mountain living. Residents and visitors of this unique mountain living concept have access to a private spa, a Club Lounge, and an in-house concierge, which combines the very best of prime property and wellbeing with all the services to be expected of a five-star hotel. There is also an additional dedicated ski concierge located in a private chalet under the main ski lift in Courchevel 1850.

It is no wonder that the international jet set are opting for these freehold residences instead of investing in chalets with often high running costs. The other key benefit is that the resort boasts is the legendary highest asphalted runway in Europe at an altitude of 1,010m which is just 537m in length. The Residences are supported by Six Senses world-renowned service team dedicated to offering an extensive range of services including 24/7 concierge, shuttle services, private catering, and bespoke transport solutions - completely unique to any alpine residential development. Over 50% of the 53 exclusive apartments have sold; they range in size from 70 to 268 square metres, and the 10 penthouses offer sensational triple aspect views with balconies and terraces with mountain scenery, and some include further perks such as wine cellars and private spas.

Prices range from €1.5m to €8.8m and buyers who are not using their apartment throughout the season have the option of renting it out in order to recoup the VAT included in the published sales price.

Ski Playground to the Elite

The ski playground to the elite, Courchevel 1850, has now evolved into a byword for opulence, and is the most fashionable ski destination in the Alps, a magnet for ultra-wealthy, royals and A-lister celebrities, with an array of Michelin-starred restaurants; on piste eateries such as Chalet de Pierre and newcomer Nammos; three of France’s 16 officially delegated palace? hotels, including one owned by Bernald Arnault of luxury goods group LVMH; and a multitude of big brand boutiques including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Fendi, and Dior.

It is believed that non-skiers now account 25% of visitors to the Alps, so it is not surprising that the options for retail and dining continue to grow. But for those that are ski fanatics, it boasts over 600km of pistes in the Trois Vallées and it has the prestigious status of the world’s most extensive ski area in the world.

Invest in Life at the Top

Buyers need to weigh up multiple factors when deciding where to purchase a ski home. Advanced skiers may prioritise altitude to maximise snow reliability throughout the season, whilst families with beginners may consider a dual season resort with a broader range of facilities, which Courchevel 1850 offers in abundance.

Dubbed the St Tropez of winter sports, Courchevel is ranked number 2 in Savills’ Ultra Prime Top 10, offering €31,400 per square metre. The Alps remain the world’s most internationally invested ski market and ski property typically yields between 1.5 and 2% net. The 1.5 million tourist overnight stays in Courchevel are made up by an increasingly diverse set of nationalities, with unsurprisingly the French in poll position, followed by Swiss, Brits, and visitors from Belgium and Brazil.* Russians earmarked Courchevel as their Alpine resort of choice in the late 1990s, but that market has diminished in recent years.

Dual Season Resorts

The ski industry faces a challenging future due to climate change, with poor season starts to extreme weather conditions, skiers and snowboarders are finding it harder to predict the best time to hit the slopes. Unreliable ski seasons are being countered by alternative infrastructure in order to make resorts attractive all-year round, including facilities such as Aquamotion Park in Courchevel Moriond. However, this season took everyone by surprise with a winter wonderland arriving before Christmas.

The volume of money now being invested into new projects and infrastructure is testament to confidence in the future of the mountain economy. There have been a multitude of upgrades over the last five years, including new snow making system, ski lifts being replaced and modernised, and new night sledging in Moriond; and a joint bid has been submitted with Meribel to host the 2023 Ski World Cup*. The Women’s World Cup in December 2017 boasted not only a giant slalom but a dual slalom, proving Courchevel’s strength in hosting largescale competitions.

Changing Demographics in the Ski Industry Skiing and winter sports attracted 400 million visitors worldwide in 2016, and the Alps still attracts the majority of global ski visits (43%), and France now attracts more skiers than the United States. Rising income in key emerging skier source markets, such as China, Poland, Argentina, Slovakia, and Brazil may increase participation in skiing, but markets with limited domestic skiing still matter, such as the UK, Germany and the Netherlands as they are most likely to buy a base away from home. With the baby boomer generation at the upper end of the skiing age, Generation Y (20-35 year olds) is growing in importance with Generation Z (under 19s) close behind, therefore winter music festivals are now a staple, along with board parks.*
