Le Lana: A little closer to the stars...
Rise to the top
The first regulars no doubt still remember that in 1958, when Courchevel was still a small resort, far from its current 62 ski lifts serving some 150 km of slopes, Jo Tournier dreamed of opening the first 4 star hotel in the region. A visionary, this inhabitant of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc set himself a considerable objective: attracting an international clientele sensible to the much sought after French "art de vivre", thus building on the reputation of the resort. Mission accomplished for this chalet that expands year after year and culminates in the art of hospitality. A destination is born. Later, the children take over, expanding on their parents' work until the complete renovation of the establishment in 2009, resulting in a fully deserved fifth star.
In the Spirit of Courchevel
First of all, it helps to have one of the largest skiing areas in the world! It has over 600 km of runs and slopes, combining the Trois Vallées panorama, beautiful scenery and equipment to match its popularity. Then there is the "Courchevel spirit", a reputation that is both volcanic and très chic that goes far beyond our natural borders; a token of luxury, glamour and commitment to service...It would be an understatement to say that Le Lana embodies this spirit. In view of its precedence, Le Lana is also an epitome of authenticity.
With warm shades, fluctuating between honey, sand and chocolate, its suites summoning wood, stone and fabric, its bathrooms of marble and wood...the tone is set.
Delicious with Guy Martin
As far as the taste buds are concerned, La Table du Lana goes off-track with Roasted Scallops "a la plancha" and onion and truffle sorbet or Lobster lasagne and cinnamon flavoured pumpkin... courtesy of Guy Martin. However, the other senses are not outdone.
The Spa by Clarins, a genuine sensory experience
The Spa by Clarins and its heated pool welcome skiers in much need of relaxation; inviting them to a genuine sensory experience while on the service side, Le Lana accumulates brownie points: a butler, concierge service, valet parking, secretariat, babysitting, computer access... Nothing is too good for its guests. Too bad, we have to go home at some point...!
