Set at the very heart of Courchevel 1850, directly at the foot of the Bellecôte piste, Le Lana stands as one of the most emblematic and enduring addresses in the Alps. More than a five-star hotel, Le Lana is a living symbol of Savoyard hospitality—shaped by family heritage, a genuine sense of welcome, and a refined vision of mountain luxury that has evolved over decades without ever losing its soul.
From the moment guests arrive, Le Lana conveys a rare balance of simplicity and sophistication. Luxury here is not demonstrative; it is felt in the atmosphere, the warmth of the welcome, and the effortless elegance that defines every space.
A Family Story at the Origins of the Resort
The story of Le Lana begins in 1958, when Jo Tournier, a native of Chamonix, instinctively believed in the future of Courchevel long before it became an international benchmark for alpine luxury. At a time when the resort was still taking shape, he opened a discreet family chalet with just twenty rooms, envisioned as a “small top-notch hotel” offering services that were remarkably innovative for that era.
His intuition proved visionary. The property quickly distinguished itself and went on to become the very first four-star hotel in Courchevel. Together with his wife Catherine, Jo Tournier continuously upgraded, expanded, and embellished the house, gradually attracting an international clientele drawn to a particular art de vivre—one rooted in elegance, comfort, and authenticity. Hospitality became more than a profession; it became a family mission, deeply intertwined with the rise of Courchevel itself as one of the most desirable resorts in the Alps.
A Legacy Passed Through Generations
Following the passing of the family patriarch, the next generation naturally took over the reins. Éric, the elder son, now heads the Tournier Group and oversees several prestigious properties in Courchevel. Nicolas, the younger brother, assumed management the castle in Aix-les-Bains and of Le Lana in 1993, ensuring continuity while guiding the hotel into a new chapter of refinement and five-star excellence.
Under his direction, Le Lana has remained faithful to its original spirit while continuously adapting to the expectations of a discerning international clientele. The art of welcoming—so central to the Tournier family philosophy—continues to define the hotel’s identity.
From a Chalet to a Five-Star Alpine Residence
Today, the original family chalet has evolved into an elegant alpine residence offering 55 rooms, 28 suites, and two private apartments. Recent developments include the addition of ten new rooms and suites, designed to enhance comfort while preserving the intimate, cocooning atmosphere that guests have cherished for decades.
Interiors blend understated luxury with warmth: soft textures, harmonious tones, and generous volumes create spaces where guests immediately feel at ease. Whether staying as a couple or with family, each accommodation offers a sense of privacy and calm that transforms a mountain holiday into a deeply restorative experience.
Well-Being and the Clarins Spa Experience
Well-being plays a central role at Le Lana. After a day on the slopes, guests return to the soothing turquoise waters of the heated indoor pool, complemented by saunas, hammams, jacuzzis, and relaxation lounges. In 2025, the opening of the Spa by Clarins marked a significant evolution, introducing a 400-square-meter sanctuary entirely dedicated to balance, beauty, and vitality.
Here, personalised treatments range from massages and facials to osteopathy and fitness coaching, all designed to restore both body and mind. The spa is complemented by a fully equipped fitness room and the presence of a dedicated sports coach, offering tailored programmes for ski preparation, recovery, or overall wellness.
Gastronomy Rooted in Savoyard Tradition
Gastronomy is an essential part of life at Le Lana. La Table du Lana offers contemporary gourmet cuisine that invites discovery while celebrating regional products and Savoyard heritage. On sunny days, its south-facing terrace becomes a lively meeting point, with barbecues served directly at the foot of the pistes.
For a more traditional experience, Le Saint-Nicolas showcases authentic Savoyard dishes in a warm mountain atmosphere—ideal for extending a day spent in the heart of the Three Valleys. A refined bar with panoramic views, an exceptional wine cellar curated by the sommelier, and attentive room service complete the culinary offering.
A Thoughtful Haven for Families and Children
True to its philosophy of hospitality for all generations, Le Lana pays special attention to its youngest guests. Families benefit from dedicated childcare services on request, allowing parents to fully enjoy the slopes or the spa with complete peace of mind. A spacious and welcoming kids’ playroom is designed as a world of imagination, where children can enjoy games, creative activities, and moments of play under the supervision of experienced caregivers.
The hotel also features a dedicated movie room with a large screen and comfortable seating, hosting daily screenings for younger guests in the late afternoon. Video games, a CD and DVD library, and computers are available on request, transforming quiet moments into shared family experiences. Every detail is conceived to ensure that children feel as welcome as adults, while parents enjoy the serenity of a perfectly balanced stay.
Culture, Lifestyle, and the Art of Hosting
Beyond comfort and cuisine, Le Lana embraces culture and lifestyle. In the lobby, guests can discover a boutique featuring a carefully curated selection of Hermès bags, shoes, and accessories, adding a discreet touch of fashion to the alpine setting. Each year, international events such as the Big Art Festival bring a vibrant cultural dimension to the hotel, transforming it into a meeting point for art, creativity, and alpine living.
Rooted in history yet resolutely contemporary, Le Lana remains a cornerstone of Courchevel 1850. It is a place where luxury feels human, service feels sincere, and conviviality is never staged. More than a hotel, Le Lana is an institution—one that continues to embody the very essence of mountain elegance, generation after generation
