Luxury Catered Ski Chalets with Private Chef in Courchevel

Catered chalets in Courchevel come with a private chef either included or available, and each listing says which. What is included varies: many cover daily breakfast, afternoon tea or canapés, and dinner on most nights, often with housekeeping and sometimes a chalet host. The chef sources fresh ingredients — often from local Courchevel suppliers. Exact inclusions vary by property, and our concierge can detail the full service package for any of our 14 catered chalets in Courchevel.

Yes. Private chefs in Courchevel are used to cooking for a wide range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and specific food allergies; ask about others, such as kosher or halal, when you enquire. Simply tell our concierge about any requirements, and the chef can plan meals around them — from breakfast through to dinner. For groups with mixed dietary needs, chefs can usually prepare alternative dishes alongside the main menu.

The daily rhythm in a Courchevel catered chalet is designed around the skiing day. Breakfast is served from around 7:30 to 9:30, giving flexibility for early risers and later starters. Afternoon tea — freshly baked cakes, pastries, and hot drinks — greets your return from the slopes, typically between 4:00 and 5:30. Pre-dinner canapés and drinks follow, with a multi-course dinner served around 8:00. Most chefs welcome input on timing to suit your group, and where there is a chalet host, they coordinate the day around you.

Whether wine is included with dinner varies by chalet in Courchevel: some include it as part of the service, others charge for it, and each listing shows which. Where wine is included, chefs and hosts usually choose bottles that complement each evening's menu, and where a chalet has a wine cellar, premium vintages are usually available at additional cost. For special occasions, our concierge can arrange bespoke wine packages or even sommelier-led tastings within your chalet.

Most private chefs in Courchevel welcome guest input and enjoy tailoring menus to your group's preferences. Some properties offer a pre-trip menu consultation, allowing you to shape the week's dining around favourite cuisines, specific ingredients, or themed evenings. The best chefs balance your requests with their own creativity and the best seasonal produce available locally. Whether you prefer classic French Alpine cooking, lighter Mediterranean-inspired dishes, or adventurous tasting menus, our concierge can match you with the right chef and chalet.
