CHALET DETAILS
The chalet is arranged over three floors, comfortably accommodating ten to twelve guests. A lot of thought has been given to the interior to create a rustic yet contemporary feel. With the use of natural wood, stone, marble and a neutral colour scheme, a light and airy atmosphere has been achieved throughout. The open plan living and dining area with its large open log fire is complemented with beautiful woollen and cashmere fabrics, plaid throws and antique furniture offering its guests a warm and relaxed space in which to enjoy. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom or shower complete with luxury bath products. Fine Egyptian bed linen ensures an elegant touch. The chalet is equipped with all the latest technology. Belvedere is a 20 minute walk from the centre of Courchevel 1650, there is a resort bus service just 2 minutes by foot from the chalet or you may wish to use the private on call minibus service that is provided with the chalet.

MONEY MATTERS
Travellers cheques are widely accepted for exchange or purchase in major cities, but in more rural areas, visit a bank to exchange them for Euros. Major credit cards are widely accepted here (though a limited number of merchants have American Express accounts) and ATM access is widespread. Exchange currency only at authorized outlets such as banks and hotels, and exchange only what you think you will spend in the country. Coins cannot be reconverted on departure. Save all receipts from any currency exchange transaction. You may be asked to produce them when you exit the country, and they are required if you intend to reconvert local currency.

WEATHER
The alpine climate is cold and visitors should wear warm, waterproof clothing at all times when outdoors during the winter. Hats and gloves are also essential to prevent frostbite. Sunglasses or ski goggles are also necessary to reduce the glare of the sun on the snow.
HEALTH
It is advisable to contact your doctor before you travel if you have any specific health concerns and imperative to take out appropriate travel and medical insurance.
