Day 1:
Your journey begins in Paris, where on arrival you will be greeted by our local representative and seamlessly transferred through the city for 40 minutes to your first hotel, the iconic Shangri-La Paris, a refined retreat set moments from the Seine with sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower.
Spend the afternoon settling into your surroundings before heading out for a gentle stroll along the river or through nearby Trocadéro, followed by a relaxed dinner to ease into the rhythm of the city.
Days 2-3:
After breakfast, discover Paris’ most celebrated landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées, either with a private guide or at leisure. The afternoon is ideal for exploring the Louvre or Musée d’Orsay, before returning to the hotel to freshen up and enjoy an evening Seine cruise as the city lights shimmer.
The following day is dedicated to Paris’ characterful neighbourhoods, from the artistic streets of Montmartre to the historic Marais. Enjoy time browsing boutiques, galleries and cafés, or indulge in a culinary experience such as a patisserie tasting. The evening is free for fine dining, theatre, or a classic cabaret show.
Day 4:
Enjoy a slower-paced final day in Paris, start with a leisurely breakfast and perhaps wandering through the Tuileries or Luxembourg Gardens, shopping at elegant department stores, or simply relaxing back at the Shangri-La Paris. Take advantage of the hotel’s refined dining or cocktail lounge and end your stay with a memorable farewell dinner overlooking
the Paris skyline.
Day 5:
This morning after breakfast, you will be transferred by private car to Paris Gare de Lyon station, approximately 25
minutes away. From here, enjoy a comfortable three-hour First-Class train journey to Chambéry, travelling smoothly from Paris towards the French Alps. Upon arrival at Chambéry-Challes-les-Eaux station, you will be met and transferred for 90 minutes to the luxurious alpine sanctuary of Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin, an elegant retreat set directly on the slopes.
Spend the afternoon settling into your suite, taking in forest and mountain views, and exploring the hotel’s refined spaces.
As evening falls, enjoy a relaxed dinner at the hotel, easing into the tranquil rhythm of alpine life.
Days 6-7:
After breakfast, make the most of the
late-season conditions, with quieter slopes and longer, sun-filled days perfect for skiing or simply enjoying the mountain scenery. Take a break for lunch on a sunny terrace before returning to the hotel in the afternoon to unwind at the Asaya Spa, perhaps enjoying the pool or a restorative treatment. The evening is yours to enjoy at a slower pace with dinner at the hotel.
Spring brings a softer side to the Alps, making it ideal for a mix of gentle outdoor exploration and relaxation. Spend the morning enjoying the mountain views, whether on the slopes or with a scenic walk, followed by a leisurely lunch in the sunshine. The afternoon is perfect for unwinding back at the hotel or enjoying the spa. In the evening, head into Courchevel village for a livelier atmosphere, or stay in for a relaxed dining experience.
Day 8:
Enjoy a slower final full day, starting with a relaxed breakfast before choosing how to spend your time—perhaps a final morning on the slopes, soaking up the sunshine on a terrace, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the hotel. The afternoon is ideal for recharging, whether in the spa or from the comfort of your suite. End your stay with a memorable farewell dinner, taking in the fresh mountain air and serene alpine setting.
