Chalet Irma, Courchevel 1650

Chalet Irma was built on the site of "The Shack", where one of our directors lived in the 1980s, when health and safety was unknown in the French Alps (one plug socket and a dodgy tepid shower...). The idea that it is now a smart, stylish chalet with a steam room is simply ridiculous! But it's true...

Chalet Irma is in a perfect position just 3 miinutes walk from the main lift station in Courchevel Moriond yet hidden away in a very peaceful spot with far reaching views up and down the valley.

Irma is named after a family member of the owners and is a very well designed chalet. It sleeps 6 in 3 fully ensuite bedrooms. The cosy lounge and dining areas with wood burning stove are on the top floor from where the views are really beautiful. The hammam is on the ground floor.

Chalet Irma has proved extremely popular with our guests since it was built for the 2016-17 season. It is a fabulous mixture of classic and contemporary styles and we're sure Irma will remain extremely popular in the future.

Meals

Your day starts with freshly brewed tea or coffee (don’t worry, we bring real teabags from the UK) and a spread of fresh crusty baguette and jams, yoghurt, fruit and cereals on the table. The cooked breakfast menu changes every day but includes bacon, sausages, eggs, French toast, grilled tomato, succulent mushrooms, Heinz baked beans…

Once you’ve returned from your tough day on the slopes, homemade afternoon tea is served and favourites range from classic treats such as scones with cream and jam to squidgy brownies or raspberry and white chocolate cupcakes. In the evening we let our experienced hosts use their imaginations and the fantastic fresh produce we have to create a mouthwatering 3-course menu for the week.

We now serve canapes prior to each of the five chalet dinners. On Sunday they are accompanied by Champagne and on other catered nights a local "methode traditionelle" produced by our friend and winemaker Nicolas Perret. It's a delicious, light fizz with very few wine miles as it is made just down the valley! Our experienced hosts use the fantastic fresh produce we have to create a mouthwatering 3-course menu for the week.

Unlimited red, rosé and white wines (from bottles, not boxes!) are served through dinner, with coffee and chocolates in the lounge after your meal.

In line with other chalet operators we are moving to 5 days catering.
