240 square metres of living space (not including the ground floor) Two words, 'spacious' and 'exclusive', spring to mind when describing Chalet Aster. Nestled in the Belvedere area of Courchevel 1650, surrounded by trees and exquisite mountain views, the chalet is a haven of tranquility. There are beautiful mountain trails and cross country pistes literally on you door step, the Granges Teleski (drag lift) is a short slide away, and at the end of the day you can ski straight to the door.

The third suite can either be a Kingsize double or twin and has 2 extra day beds which can be used for children and the remaining two bedrooms can either be made up as Queensize doubles or twins. Each bedroom has an individual 'mountain' theme. Bathrobes, towels, slippers, hairdryers and L'Occitane bath products are supplied in each bathroom. The large, open plan sitting room has a traditional log fire and the bespoke dining table commands centre stage in the dining area.
