STAY
Right beside the Rond Point des Pistes you’ll find Hôtel Le Coucou, which puts a playful spin on the timber-clad chalet. Scallop-edged headboards rest against walls painted terracotta (1) and the fairytale snowscapes seen from the balconies can leave you speechless. The crowd is decidedly style-forward and with miles of pristine cruising territory on the doorstep, it’s a ravishing winter escape.
