A Courchevel chalet with a private chef
After a day in Les 3 Vallées, dinner is cooked at home by a private chef, served at your own table and planned entirely around your tastes.
In brief
Speak to Nathalie or AdamCourchevel has long been known as a resort where people eat well, and many guests find that the finest meals of their week happen at home. Booking a chalet with a private chef in Courchevel means dinner comes to you: no reservations to chase, no coats to collect, no drive back up the hill. You come in from the slopes, take time in the sauna, and sit down when you are ready.
A private chef can be arranged on request in every Lutetia chalet, and breakfast is served daily in every stay. Since 1989 we have learnt that what makes a chef right for a family or a group is not only talent but fit, so we spend time understanding how you like to eat before anyone sets foot in the kitchen.
Here we explain how chef service works in a Courchevel chalet, how menus are shaped around your guests, and which residences lend themselves to long evenings at the table.
From first conversation to the first dinner
It begins with a brief. Before arrival, your dedicated contact asks the questions a good host would: who is coming, what everyone loves and avoids, whether there are allergies or religious requirements, and how formal you want the evenings to be. Some guests want a different tasting menu each night; others want generous family dishes and one grand dinner in the middle of the week.
With that brief, the chef proposes menus that you can adjust as the stay unfolds. If the snow is perfect and everyone wants a late, simple supper, the plan changes. If a friend arrives unexpectedly or you decide to celebrate a birthday, the kitchen adapts. The point is that the food follows your week, rather than the other way round.
- A pre-arrival brief on tastes, allergies and pace
- Menus proposed in advance and adjusted daily
- Formal dinners, family suppers or both
- Breakfast every morning of the stay
Shaping menus around your guests
Mountain cooking can be as refined or as comforting as you like. A chef can draw on Savoyard tradition for a fondue night, then move to a seated dinner of several courses the following evening. Children can eat earlier and more simply while adults dine later, and particular dietary requirements are discussed openly at the start so the chef can plan for them properly.
Several chalets in the collection have a wine cellar, which turns dinner into a quieter pleasure: pairing a bottle with each course, or choosing something special for the last night. Chalet Erise, Chalet Flys, Chalet Morelle, Chalet Oris and Chalet Valmont all include one. The concierge can also arrange restaurant reservations for the evenings you would like to go out, so the week can mix both.
A week of good food in the mountains
Chef service is rarely only about dinner. Après-ski can mean something warm waiting when you come in, a long lunch at the chalet can replace a mountain restaurant on a stormy day, and breakfast can be served later for those who skied hardest the day before. Your dedicated contact makes sure the rhythm suits everyone around the table.
Food also connects to the rest of the stay. Spa and wellness treatments after skiing, a chauffeur for an evening in Courchevel 1850, or a helicopter transfer on arrival can all be arranged on request. The aim is a week where nobody has to think about logistics, and the table becomes the natural place everyone gathers at the end of the day.
- Après-ski and lunches at the chalet on request
- Restaurant reservations for nights out
- Chauffeurs for evenings in the resort
- Spa and wellness after the slopes

Ask our teamIs a private chef included in a Courchevel chalet rental?
Breakfast is served daily in every stay and a private concierge is included. A private chef for lunches and dinners can be arranged on request, and the arrangement is set out in your tailored proposal. Prices are on request and depend on the service you choose.
Can the chef cater for allergies and dietary requirements?
Yes, this is part of the pre-arrival brief. Tell us about allergies, intolerances, religious requirements or simply strong preferences, and the chef will plan menus around them. Children’s meals can be prepared separately if you prefer.
Can we choose the menus ourselves?
The chef proposes menus based on your brief, and you can change them as often as you wish. Some guests settle on a few fixed points, such as a celebration dinner, and leave the rest flexible. Your dedicated contact keeps the kitchen informed day by day.
Which Courchevel chalets have a wine cellar?
Chalet Erise, Chalet Flys, Chalet Morelle, Chalet Oris and Chalet Valmont each include a wine cellar. Your advisor can tell you more about each one and suggest the chalet that best suits the evenings you have in mind.
Can we still go out to restaurants in the resort?
Of course. The concierge can arrange restaurant reservations in Courchevel for any evening, and a chauffeur can take you there and back. It is common to mix nights out with dinners at the chalet, and the chef simply works around your plans.
