Description Apple Brandy: Courchevel

This cosy apartment with ski-in, ski-out access is the definition of chalet chic. Nestled right beside the Pralong chairlift, with easy access to Les Trois Vallees, it's an excellent place to begin your winter getaway.

Step inside, and you'll find a welcoming space with wood-panelled walls and comfy furniture. You'll probably be ravenous after a day in the great outdoors, so you can whip up a tasty feast in the kitchen – or, book a private chef to do the hard work for you. There's even an outdoor terrace where you can breathe in the fresh mountain air and watch your kids playing in the snow.

The office next door can organise ski hire and lift passes, so all you need to do is perfect your snowplough. You'll find some good local restaurants in the centre of Courchevel, just a short taxi ride away. And, if you're visiting during the warmer months, you can lace up your hiking boots or hop on your bike and hit the alpine trails to explore.
