Snow? The ski areas around Alpe d’Huez say it is looking good, despite some rain, with the slopes full of skiers.
Courchevel draws an international crowd during the winter season thanks to access to the world’s largest ski resort and a high concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants. Guests of l’Apogée ski onto the slopes from the hotel’s ski room in warmed boots and can return for lunch in its Champagne lounge.
For dinner its great to enjoy the fromagerie and ham-aging cellar at the fine-dining restaurant le Comptoir de L’Apogée, helmed by chef Yannick Franques.

We enjoyed it very much, the twenty rooms, 33 suites, a four-bedroom penthouse, and an adjacent five-bedroom chalet are gives you a great feeling, installed with radiant-heated floors and Fior di Bosco marble in the bathrooms. During the winter there are plenty of activities for nonskiers, including dogsledding, ice climbing, and spending time in the large wellness center and indoor pool.
