Use case: Christmas at a new Courchevel hotel, by helicopter

This is an illustrative use case: a typical request, and how we would handle it.

The scenario

A family of five wants to spend Christmas week in Courchevel 1850 and would like to try one of the new hotels opening this December. They fly into Geneva and want the children in ski school from the first morning.

Why it takes planning

Christmas is the hardest week of the season in Courchevel. New hotels often hold their best suites for returning guests of the group, ski school places for the festive week fill early, and the road up from Geneva can take hours in holiday traffic.

How we would handle it

  • Compare the new openings for the family's needs, such as interconnecting rooms, a kids club and slope access
  • Request a family suite or two connecting rooms for the festive week
  • Arrange a helicopter transfer from Geneva to the Courchevel altiport, with ground transfers as a back-up for bad weather
  • Book private instructors for the adults and ski school places for the children
  • Reserve tables for Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, and organise ski hire to be fitted on arrival
  • Handle payment in fiat or crypto

What the client gets

A festive week planned before the season starts, with every booking confirmed in advance and one point of contact if anything changes on the day.

Good to know

Instacoins Concierge is independent and not affiliated with the hotels mentioned. Availability over Christmas and New Year is limited and confirmed directly with each property. Helicopter transfers depend on weather.
