The Art of Hospitality
SHARING AN INHERITANCE
For more than sixty years, the Pinturault family has been creating places in Courchevel where hospitality is both passed down and lived out. A history shaped by the mountains, meaningful encounters, and the desire to create homes where people love to return. Each property has its own identity, character, and atmosphere. All share the same approach to hospitality, rooted in attention to guests, the surroundings, and the moments shared together.
A Story of Family and Innovation

A few years after Les Sherpas, Christiane and André conceived a new hotel at the foot of the Pralong. The hotel opened its doors in 1974 and quickly became the centerpiece of their business. Over the years, the hotel expanded and became a permanent fixture in the Courchevel landscape.
