The inviting Club Lounge at<br />
Six Senses Residences Courchevel<br />
While some may be worried about<br />
the returns on their investment off<br />
season time, it's worth noting that<br />
Courchevel now offers a range of<br />
summer activities, so you can enjoy a<br />
stay during winter and rent it out during<br />
summer, if you wish to.<br />
DINE AT...<br />
Leave the slopes to experience<br />
Courchevel <strong>18</strong>50 at its best. These<br />
hotspots are a shuttle or ten-minute<br />

LE CHALET DE PIERRES<br />
The sight of Chef Gerber Alvim<br />
roasting meat on the spit meets the<br />
eye as you enter this traditional<br />
Alpine restaurant on the Verdons<br />
slope. You can ski in, take a seat at<br />
the heated terrace and enjoy an<br />
alfresco lunch of hearty French onion<br />
soup, cheese fondue and fresh<br />
seafood or meat (order ahead).<br />
Don’t miss the dessert table featuring<br />
pistachio-cream filled profiteroles<br />
and a divine lemon curd tart.<br />

LE GENÉPI<br />
When a restaurant is headed by<br />
natives from the village, you know<br />
you are in for a great meal. This<br />
fireplace-fitted all-wood interior<br />
restaurant by chef and owner Thierry<br />
Mugnier and his wife Cecile is apt for<br />
an elegant fine-dining experience.<br />
Fresh local char tartare with blini and<br />
whipped cream and a side of oysters<br />
are highly recommended as an<br />
appetizer. Follow this with beef fillet<br />
Rossini; a succulent generous portion<br />
douse in a beautiful reduction,<br />
topped with a slice of foie gras and<br />
perfectly paired with warm pillowtextured<br />
bursts of gnocchi. And to<br />
end, the comforting hot baked pippin<br />
apple and silky salted caramel ice<br />
cream are worth trying, guaranteed<br />
to be polished off within minutes.<br />
