Suite with Balcony, Alpes Hôtel du Pralong, Courchevel, Alpes Hôtel du Pralong, Courchevel

A balcony suite at the foot of the Pralong slopes

Sixty-seven square meters, one bedroom, and a balcony that opens directly onto the mountain: this suite is built for those who want the peaks in view the moment they wake. At Alpes Hôtel du Pralong, positioned ski-in, ski-out at the base of the Pralong lifts, this is one of three suite typologies, and the one most defined by its outdoor extension. The volume is generous without excess, the light is alpine and direct, and the proximity to the slopes removes any friction between suite and snow.

The space and flow

The suite spans 67 m² for up to three guests, organized around a single bedroom and a separate seating area with sofa and dining table, suitable for a room service breakfast or a quiet dinner after a day on the mountain. A sofa bed extends the capacity for a third guest without compromising the bedroom's privacy. Hardwood and parquet floors run through the suite, grounding the space in the chalet-era material language the hotel is known for. Soundproofing keeps the suite insulated from hallway and neighboring noise, an essential detail after a full day outdoors.

Design and finishes

The interior pairs warm wood with a contemporary, uncluttered hand: a dressing room, wardrobe, and closet for ski gear and daily layers, an ironing station, and a full set of linens including feather, non-feather, and hypoallergenic pillow options. The bathroom is equipped with both a bath and a separate shower, complemented by an additional toilet, bathrobe, slippers, and a full range of toiletries: shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower cap, and free amenities replenished as needed. Towels and pool towels are provided for the indoor pool downstairs.

The view and outdoors

The defining feature of this suite is its balcony, facing the mountain, where the view extends over the Pralong slopes and the peaks beyond. From the seating area or the bedroom, the orientation keeps the mountain in constant sight, a detail that matters as much at breakfast as at dusk, when the light on the snow shifts from white to blue.

Who is this for?

You are skiing with one other person or a small family and want a balcony to step onto before the first lift run, coffee in hand. You are traveling with a child and need the sofa bed configuration alongside childcare amenities already in the room: crib, high chair, and children's books and games. You want a suite close enough to the slopes that the transition from room to run takes minutes, not a shuttle ride.

La Suite's verdict

This is the entry point into the Pralong suite collection, and it earns its place through the balcony alone: few configurations at this address put the mountain this directly in front of you, from the bed and from the sofa. The bath and separate shower combination is a detail worth noting for those who alternate between a long soak after skiing and a quick rinse before dinner at Le Musher. For a three-person group prioritizing direct slope access over interior size, this suite is the most rational choice in the hotel's suite portfolio.
