Courchevel Apartments

Our first visit to Courchevel stayed 3 nights at the Ecrin Blanc Resort which sits on quite big grounds, has a spacious lobby / reception and a nice decent breakfast area. Before going into my detailed review, I would like to give a big compliment to the ladies at the hotel concierge especially ”LANA” who was amazing in explaining everything, helping us, sorting out our reservations and just being so helpful and kind throughout our stay. - Location: The hotel is located in the middle between 1550 and 1650 - a 10 minute walk either way - and sits right opposite the town's aquamotion centre (swimming pool/spa etc). There is a bus stop right outside the hotel, which was very easy to commute to 1850 - takes about 15 minutes and passes through 1650. It is also possible to walk to 1650 (10 min walk) and take the Telecabin (called Grangettes) that takes you all the way up to 1850 - to go up you need the paid for pass but coming down is free. There is a ski shop rental on the same grounds as the hotel which makes it very convenient to get your skis and full equipment. You can also buy the ski pass from the conceirge (with a 5% added charge). For skiing, you can go direct on a chair lift right outside the hotel but it is more for advanced skiiers...so we never took it. As its hard to walk with Ski equipment we took the bus to 1850 and then skiied from there. Overall i would say the location is ok given the above options, however, to really feel you are in a ski in/ski out resort it would be much better to be somewhere near the Grangettes in 1650 or in 1850 itself. Other feedback: -The hotel was very clean, room was nice and cozy. - We took the room with a balcony but to be honest the views were not good at all and we barely had the feel that we are in a mountain/ski area as the beds faced the opposite direction and not the direction of the views. -Concierge was great - ability to buy passes and rent skis on grounds was very good -Breakfast was basic but good. -Acquamotion free access may be good for those travelling with kids and want to use the slides/water area. For us as 2 adults we didnt really feel its special or something we want to use everyday.

Nur zurück von einer fantastischen Woche, die in Les Sherpas verblieben ist! Von dem Moment, als wir ins Haus gingen - es riecht großartig - und wurden von der freundlichen, hilfsbereiten und effizienten Mitarbeiter, die wir wussten, dass wir die richtige Entscheidung getroffen hatten, begrüßt. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam. Sacha und Kevin waren außergewöhnlich, charmant und nichts war zu viel Problem. Der Skiverleihservice im Hotel war ausgezeichnet. Wir nahmen den Shuttle jeden Morgen auf die Strände, aber es ist nur 5 Minuten zu Fuß (in Skibooten) und schieten zurück auf gerade über dem Hotel (1 Minuten zu Fuß). Das Zimmer war schön und hell! Sehr sauber, kontrollierbarer Bodenheizung und ein großer kontrollerbarer Radiator im Badezimmer. Wir hatten ein wenig Patio außerhalb, das am Nachmittag in der Sonne war. Perfekt! Wir liebten das Dampfzimmer, Sauna und Schwimmbad. Der Pool war die perfekte Temperatur, warm genug, aber nicht zu warm fürs Schwimmen. Es gab auch einen Massageservice, den wir nicht verwendet haben. Danke Les Sherpas! ❤️ ⛷️
