When you see Edelweiss for the first time, you might think you are dreaming. The Courchevel 1850 chalet is so perfect that you might have to pinch yourself several times before acknowledging that it is actually real.

Considered the largest and most luxurious chalet in the Alps, it leaves nothing to be desired. From a 100-person nightclub to a hammam, you will never want check out… that is until your bank account forces you to. The nightly rate is a staggering $450,000 USD per week, the most expensive chalet in Europe that we know of, so if you think this is too pricey, you can always share the lodge with a few friends, ha!

This 8 bedroom ski-in ski-out chalet is only 5 minutes away by foot from the charming town of Courchevel. Courchevel 1850 is the most exclusive ski resort in Europe, and the quaintest one as well.

The chalet is 3,000m² over seven floors. The eight bedrooms allows 16 to sleep heavenly with a rustic yet modern decoration so you don’t have to sacrifice any modern amenity you might want during your stay.

Their ski rooms make the most luxurious hotel’s ski room look like sad attempt with their top of the line equipment. However, my favorite common areas are the cinema room and nightclub. You will like them so much, you will not want to leave the premises at any point, not even for dinner. Every meal will be served in a gorgeous 22 person dining room with a chef that gives Alain Ducasse a run for his money.

The spa is rivaled by none, with a 14 meter pool, Jacuzzi with a bar, a hammam, sauna, two therapy rooms and a large gym.

If all of the above wasn’t enough, the chalet also comes with a full staff: butler, concierge, chef, valet parking, chauffeur, cleaning service, hair stylist, masseuses and ski instructors.

Driving to Courchevel and worried about parking? Worry no more, the house has an underground garage for 20 cars accessed by a lift. Perfect for Jay Leno and his army fleet of cars.

Do not worry if you find yourself wanting to only ski for two hours a day during your stay, clients usually suffer from SKD (short-ski-day disorder) while staying at the magnificent Edelweiss chalet.
