Annapurna
Warm, sporty, and family-run without being flashy. Think polished Alpine lodge rather than gilded palace. Loyal repeat guests, name recognition at check-in, and a vibe that's unpretentious for Courchevel 1850 — which is saying something.
The bar has live piano every evening — arrive early for a fireplace seat
Why It Matters
The highest hotel in Courchevel 1850, with the only outdoor heated pool in the resort and a Michelin-starred restaurant (Alpage, 1 star, 2024) on-site. Family-owned and operated by the Pinturaults since 1974.
Annapurna is a family-owned five-star hotel sitting at the very top of Courchevel 1850 — the highest hotel in the resort, full stop. Built by the Pinturault family in 1974 and overhauled gradually since, it wears its age well: south-facing architecture designed on the heliotropic principle floods every floor with natural light, and the materials — glass, stone, and natural wood — feel genuinely mountain rather than merely themed. The ski-in/ski-out location directly on the Pralong piste is as good as it gets in Courchevel, and the Michelin-starred restaurant Alpage gives it a food angle most slope-side hotels can only dream about.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Annapurna Suite
Abundant natural light through panoramic windows, with a dedicated living room. Named after the hotel itself — this is where guests who know the property tend to book. Sleeps up to three.
King · 58 sqm
Classic Valley Room
The entry-level room — and at 17 sqm, it's genuinely snug for a 5-star. That said, mountain views, a king bed, and solid alpine materials make it work for two people who are spending most of their time on the slopes.
King · 17 sqm
Everest Suite
The hotel's showpiece at 145 sqm — two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fireplace, and a spectacular terrace with slope views. The first bathroom has a private sauna with mountain views; the second bedroom faces west over La Loze peak. High ceilings and the kind of space that makes a ski chalet comparison almost fitting.
King · 145 sqmJunior Suite Double Bay
Slightly larger than the Single Bay, with a full panoramic balcony directly overlooking the mountains. Separate bedroom and living room. The floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the south-facing exposure.
King · 45 sqm
Junior Suite Signature
The top of the junior suite category — 48 sqm with an unobstructed view across the ski domain, a large bedroom, and a continuous living room. Feels like it justifies the Signature name.
King · 48 sqmJunior Suite Single Bay
42 sqm in an open-plan layout — bedroom flows into a cozy living room. South-facing, light-filled, and a genuine step up from the rooms. Good for a couple wanting more breathing space.
King · 42 sqmK2 Suite
Nearly 100 sqm, with a fireplace, large balcony, and a private sauna — the standout feature. Spacious living room with proper sofas, and a genuinely peaceful feel. One of the top choices for couples wanting the full ski retreat experience.
King · 97 sqmMakalu Suite
The living area sits right under the exposed natural wood beams of the roof — a genuinely distinctive touch. Valley views from a generous balcony and a contemporary alpine design that feels earned rather than imposed.
King · 67 sqmSaulire Room
Named for the Saulire peak it faces, this room has a south-facing balcony and panoramic views. Can accommodate two adults plus one child. Rooms can interconnect with junior suites — good for families who want linked spaces.
King · 29 sqmSoutheast Family Room
Two full king beds for up to four guests, with a private balcony. A proper family room with space to spread out — uncommon in ski hotels at this altitude.
2 Kings · 47 sqmSouthwest Family Room
The larger of the two family room configurations, sleeping up to five. Faces southwest and is designed for a calmer, more intimate family atmosphere. Generous space for a ski hotel.
King beds · 56 sqmSuperior Valley Room
A meaningful step up in space from the Classic, still valley-facing and designed for two. Comfortable and practical — a good base when you're going to be on the mountain all day.
