🏔️ Aman Le Mélézin: A Sanctuary of Peace and Japanese Minimalism in Courchevel 1850
In the heart of the Trois Vallées, on the legendary Bellecôte piste, lies a destination that completely redefines the Alpine experience. Aman Le Mélézin is more than just a hotel; it is the embodiment of the "peaceful place" philosophy, where the hustle and bustle of Courchevel gives way to absolute Zen, Japanese aesthetics, and the impeccable service of Aman.
Design Philosophy: An Alpine Chalet with a Japanese Soul
Created by the legendary architect Ed Tuttle, the hotel’s interior is a celebration of natural materials. Recent refurbishments have only heightened the uniqueness of the location: FSC-certified oak paneling, stone, and an abundance of natural light create the atmosphere of an intimate retreat. With only 31 rooms and suites (23 of which feature private balconies), the hotel provides a level of privacy unattainable by the resort’s larger "palaces."
- Location: Direct access to the Bellecôte piste (Ski-in/Ski-out).
- Privacy: Only 31 rooms in the entire hotel — the perfect balance of silence.
- 2025/26 Updates: Enhanced Ski Room and an expanded menu at Nama restaurant.
Gastronomy: The Art of Washoku at Nama
Nama restaurant, under the guidance of Chef Keiji Matoba, remains the hotel’s primary gastronomic anchor. Here, the philosophy of Washoku is practiced — a profound respect for ingredients and their natural flavors. The open kitchen allows guests to observe the masterful knife skills and the creation of culinary masterpieces.
Signature Dishes for the 2025/26 Season:
This season focuses on top-tier local ingredients: Wagyu beef tataki, Otoro tuna sashimi, and soul-warming ramen sets with Hokkaido crab. After lunch, the hotel’s terrace overlooking the snowy slopes becomes the premier spot for Asian-inspired tea or cocktails with ginger and yuzu.

Wellness: Holistic Recovery at Aman Spa
Covering over 760 m², the Aman Spa offers deep restoration after a day on the slopes. Five treatment rooms, a 14-meter swimming pool surrounded by stone columns, and a Capri stone hammam create a space for total rejuvenation.
In January 2026, the hotel highlights the Grounding Ritual from the Aman Skincare line — a treatment suite designed to relieve muscle tension and restore energetic balance. Guests also have access to daily complimentary yoga and TRX sessions in the specialized studio.
Ski-in/Ski-out on the Bellecôte Piste
The location of Aman Le Mélézin is considered the gold standard. The wide and gentle Bellecôte slope allows you to click into your skis right at the hotel’s doorstep. The Ski Room ensures a seamless start: ski valets prepare your equipment, pre-warm your boots, and serve hot drinks before you hit the slopes. For adventure seekers, the concierge team can organize heli-skiing and private guides throughout the Trois Vallées.
Mélézin Suite: The Pinnacle of Exclusivity
For those who value maximum comfort, the hotel offers the Mélézin Suite (93 m²). A spacious living room with a fireplace, a south-facing balcony with views of the village and slopes, and the possibility of connecting with adjacent rooms make it the prime choice for long-term family stays. The Ski Piste Suites, featuring private outdoor hot tubs, are also highly sought after.
