Raffles has announced its first Alpine resort, a 50-room and suite property planned for Courchevel 1850 for the 2028 winter season. The project is due to combine ski access with dining, wellness and panoramic mountain views.
It is a future development rather than a hotel that can be booked today. For LBG readers, it is useful as long-range inspiration for a winter alternative to summer boating.
The hotel is planned for Jardin Alpin
The site sits within the Jardin Alpin area of Courchevel 1850, one of the resort's established high-altitude enclaves. Many rooms are planned with balconies facing the surrounding mountains.
Location is especially important on a ski holiday because lift access can determine how much of the day is lost to transfers. Final access details will need confirmation closer to opening.
Fifty rooms keep the scale relatively small
Raffles plans 50 guestrooms and suites rather than a large convention-style property. The project also includes destination dining and thermal wellness facilities.
Those features are still part of an announced development and may evolve before completion. Travellers should wait for opening details rather than assuming every early concept becomes final.
Think of 2028 as a planning horizon
Families who like to organise ski trips far ahead may want to watch the development, but flights and packages should be booked against confirmed opening dates. Construction schedules can change.
