Located in "rare and sophisticated" destinations, each property has been designed to reflect its natural surroundings with sustainability at the core of operations. Activities range from fine dining and spa sessions to adventure sports and dog sledding.

Ultima Courchevel Belvédère

The resort: Located in one of the most renowned ski resorts in the world, Ultima Courchevel Belvédère is set on the slopes of France’s Savoie province. This ski-in and ski-out resort is made up of 13 private chalets and a mountain-facing restaurant. Offering the signature Ultima wellness experience, the resort features two state-of-the-art spas, an indoor and outdoor pool, a sauna, a hammam and a Jacuzzi, perfect for warming up after a day on the slopes.
Activities: Beyond the resort, guests can head to Courchevel town to explore the refined boutiques and restaurants there.
