What LE PORTETTA does

Portetta is a privately held French 4-star ski-in/ski-out boutique hotel located in Courchevel Moriond (1650), at the heart of the Three Valleys — the world's largest interconnected ski area with 600km of pistes. The property, established in 1976 and completely rebuilt in 2008, offers 38 guest rooms and six duplex lofts with warm-oak, reclaimed-timber interiors. It operates seasonally (approximately November through mid-April) under a stated core staff of 14 employees, with seasonal workforce expansion across Food & Beverage, Spa, Reception, Kitchen, and Housekeeping. The legal entity is Portetta Ltd, incorporated in France and operated as part of the Lime Wood Group — a parent collection of two award-winning hotels also including Lime Wood Hotel in the UK New Forest.

The business generates revenue across five streams: hotel accommodation (the dominant stream), on-site Italian-influenced dining at Cucina Angelina (operated in partnership with Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett since 2015), the Fire & Ice ski-side terrace bar, the Portetta Spa (Bamford and OSKIA treatments, hammam, sauna), and ski services managed in partnership with Gilbert Sports and supported by ski school and guide partnerships (ESF, New Generation, Raquette Évasion). Disclosed package pricing runs from €4,620 (Valley Room, 7 nights, half-board, double occupancy) to €5,180 (Piste-View Room with balcony, half-board), with weekly backcountry add-ons at €990. Guest-to-guest, spa, and F&B transactions use the SevenRooms platform alongside the property's own reservation system.

Distribution is principally direct-to-consumer via portetta.com, augmented by a network of luxury tour-operator and hotel-platform channel partners (Mr & Mrs Smith, Scott Dunn, TUI, Crystal Ski, Ski Independence, Elegant Resorts, Carrier, Oxford Ski, i-escape, George Smith). The value proposition combines scarce ski-in/ski-out inventory, a regulated French 4-star classification, celebrity-chef dining, and a curated in-resort experience ecosystem — sold primarily to affluent leisure travelers seeking premium Alpine ski vacations.
