Duplex Penthouse, Six Senses Residences, Courchevel, France

If you’re an avid fan of winter sports, set up your home away from home in one of the world’s best ski towns: Courchevel. With north-facing slopes at one end of Les Trois Vallées, Courchevel has superb skiing conditions that bring people back year after year. The highest of Courchevel’s villages, Courchevel 1850, is home to chic boutiques, internationally acclaimed restaurants — including three-Michelin-starred Le 1947 with chef Yannick Alléno — and this collection of ultra-exclusive residences by Six Senses. The duplex penthouse within the Alpine-style enclave covers 2,432 sq ft, with five en-suite bedrooms, a reception room with fireplace, and open-plan living and dining area, where the Alpine aesthetic is fused with modern design. Two terraces provide uninterrupted views of the mountains, and the property comes with a double garage, cellar and ski room. All residents have a 24-hour concierge and access to the on-site swimming pool and spa.
