Every inch the louche-lodge, high design, high expense Courchevel, Le K2 is an Alpine refuge for the 0.1 percenters and their Moncler-clad offspring. It’s all tonal and textured, warming the Tibetan-inspired architecture and exterior, and traces the traditional mountain hamlet formation, with mesmerising valley views from all snow-laden chalets. As well as scuffing the Pralong piste, the hotel smugly deploys its own chairlift, shooting guests and their instructors up into Les Trois Vallées’ snowy playground. They’re soon back, to wallow in the private pools, stew in the hot tubs, and tuck into Sébastien Vauxion’s sweet and savoury alchemy at le Sakara or L’Altiplano’s innovative Peruvian plates.
