Après-Ski in Red: A Chic on a Budget Courchevel Stay

Jan 18

I honestly didn’t expect Courchevel — one of the most expensive ski resorts in the Alps — to end up in my Chic On a Budget series. But nothing is impossible for Kate Blondet, so here we are. Welcome to Les Monts Charvin, a charming boutique hotel perfectly located within walking distance of the resort’s restaurants and boutiques.

Courchevel is expensive by nature, which makes smart choices essential. Saving on accommodation leaves more room for what truly matters here: après-ski style. In Courchevel, with its endless parties, après-ski is practically an unofficial Alpine fashion week.

Les Monts Charvin is defined by bold red accents, which inspired this curated red après-ski edit. Red has long been a style power move — famously embraced by Diana Spencer — and remains one of the most confident, visible colors in the mountains. In Courchevel, it knows exactly what it’s doing.
