Torchlight processions down the legendary Face de Bellevarde set an atmospheric tone to a stay at a five-star hotel in Val d’Isère
For those drawn to the resort's blend of alpine tradition and contemporary energy, Saint Roch balances the polish of Courchevel with a more intimate sense of place. Reopening under the Maisons Pariente name, the hotel keeps the Saint Roch identity close while carving out a fresh chapter of its own – one shaped by warm woods, rich fabrics and subtle oriental touches rather than overt alpine showmanship. Inspired by the idea of a dacha, it feels less like somewhere to simply pass through and more like a winter house to inhabit, with layered textures, original artworks and soft lighting revealing themselves slowly over the course of a stay.
Just steps from the Bellecôte run and only a short walk from the centre of 1850, days unfold with the kind of ease serious skiers appreciate: the slope nearby, the hotel team guiding guests between the dedicated equipment area and piste, and the village’s boutiques and restaurants within easy reach. Inside, 37 rooms and suites keep the mood intimate, while a Tata Harper spa, heated indoor pool, restaurant, bar and small kids’ club add the post-ski comforts. Refined, personal and quietly characterful, Saint Roch is one for guests who prefer their Courchevel with feeling as well as finesse.
