Some of the best weeks in the mountains are the ones spent together: several families sharing a roof, three generations under one, or a large group of friends who have skied together for years. For those trips, the size and layout of the chalet matters as much as the skiing itself. Courchevel is home to some of the largest and most impressive private chalets in the Alps, residences that sleep sixteen, eighteen or even twenty-two guests without ever feeling crowded, with the staff, the space and the layout to make a big group feel effortless.
The pleasure of a group trip is in the time spent together, over long dinners, lazy breakfasts and evenings by the fire, balanced with room to slip away when you want a quieter moment. Below are some of the largest chalets in our collection, chosen for their generous proportions, their bedroom counts and their ability to bring everyone together.
The largest luxury chalets in Courchevel
Bordeaux & Barolo, Courchevel 1850
The largest capacity in our collection. Two adjoining chalets combine to sleep twenty-two guests across eleven ensuite suites, with ski-in ski-out access in the heart of 1850. Ideal for two or three families travelling together who want their own space and a shared base, and flexible enough to be taken as one or separately. From around 32,500 euros per week.
Chalet Grandfather, Courchevel 1850
An 800 square metre chalet sleeping eighteen across nine suites, full of traditional alpine character, with a private cinema and expansive living spaces built for big gatherings. Available on request.
Chalet Le Refuge, Courchevel 1850
Also for eighteen guests, Le Refuge spreads across 1,000 square metres and adds an indoor pool, spa and cinema, so a large party is never short of somewhere to relax and spread out. Offered on request.
Chalet Edelweiss, Courchevel 1850
At an astonishing 3,000 square metres for sixteen guests, Edelweiss offers more space per guest than almost any chalet in the resort, along with a hotel-scale wellness floor, cinema and ski-in ski-out access. From around 150,000 euros per week.

One large chalet, or several together?
For the very largest parties, there are two approaches. A single grand chalet keeps everyone under one roof, which is often the priority for a milestone birthday or a family Christmas. Alternatively, adjoining or neighbouring chalets, such as Bordeaux and Barolo, give each family a degree of privacy while sharing meals and ski days. We can advise on which suits your group, and arrange both where a single property cannot take everyone.
What to consider for a large group
When booking for a big party, bedroom configuration is everything. Look for a balance of grand doubles and flexible twins, ideally a children’s bunk room, and ensuite bathrooms throughout to keep mornings calm. Generous, connected living and dining spaces matter just as much, and a dedicated team, including a private chef and chalet manager, is what makes catering for sixteen or more feel effortless rather than logistical.
Planning a group ski holiday
The largest chalets are the scarcest and the first to be reserved, especially for Christmas, New Year and the February school holidays, often a year ahead. Explore the wider collection of Courchevel chalets, and speak to The S Collection early. We will help you find the right layout for your group and arrange every detail, from airport transfers to instructors and in-chalet dining.
