Fantastic apartment in really good location. We were there last week of the season in glorious weather. Great having small gondola right next door for ski in ski out, but it did shut half way through the week due to season wind down, but no issue. Pictures on listing do not do justice to the apartment, lounge has been updated to greater comfort. Well appointed equipment and friendly caretaker who managed with our lack of French. Vehicle was too big for garage entrance but managed to park in lay-by next to building. Only tiny gripe would be lack of drawers in main bedroom, but loads of hangers, and access to storage in the second bedroom could only be accessed by a smaller person past the bunk beds. But like I say, only a tiny issue.Thank you for a great visit.

This apartment block would be described in most places as "ski-in, ski-out", having a quick 100m skiable track to the nearest lift (Petit Moriond) from the door of the ski locker room. Overall, it takes about 20 minutes to get to the top of the Ariondaz lift, where the area's skiing really starts. The apartment itself is quiet with thick walls providing plenty of sound insulation from any neighbours and the location is generally quiet. The furnishings in the apartment are generally good and plentiful and the "corridor bunk room" is surprisingly spacious having its own space besides the beds and not impinging upon the main corridor at all. Courchevel 1650 is a quiet village with limited apres-ski options. Prices are relatively expensive but considerably lower than in Courchevel 1850 which is a short bus ride (or 30 minute ski) away. The supermarket, bakery, bars and restaurants start from about 2 minutes walk from the apartment block, with various ski-hire, lift passes and the direct entrance to the Ariondaz lift being about 5 minutes walk.

We were obviously not as impressed with this apartment as some other guests.The location is fine but the lift it is close to is just a service lift that gives you access to the main lift.There is no welcome pack or nice touches to get you started, just whatever has been left by previous guests. Be aware, bed linen and towels are not included so you need to sort that out.It was OK for two adults and two teenagers but the bedroom with four bunks is just a narrow rectangle and not really a pleasant space to be in. I just cannot imagine what this apartment woud be like for 8 people. I would suggest 6 is more than enough and even then 4 of them would be in bunks.Bathroom and toilet are dated and typically french with no handbasin in the toilet.Kitchen, dining and living area are modern, well equipped and very nice.There is no facility to play music and there are no international TV channels, just french. Good selection of board games available.Overall, we had a good holiday and the apartment served its ourpose but we would no rebook.gives you rises
