Jewelry & Watches

Courchevel 1850 is the highest-altitude high-jewelry destination in Europe. The Place Vendôme houses arrive each December and treat the resort as a winter annex of Paris.

The pieces are not the entry-level. Most Maisons send their most important collections — multi-million-euro one-off creations that travel under armed escort. The clientele justifies it: Courchevel concentrates more private-jet arrivals per week than any other European resort.
