Comfortable furniture invites you to rest and relax as a group following a day’s hard play on the pistes. The dining area has a large family-style table with views over your balcony and the treetops for lovely group meals. In its own room just off from the lounge is your well-equipped kitchen that contains all you’ll need to get up and go each day Each bedroom at L'Hibou is well-spaced with a good amount of personal storage for your clothes and belongings. Two bedrooms have comfortable double beds while the third bedroom has two single beds. The two rooms with double beds have a private en-suite bathroom with a bathtub while the twin bedroom has a small shower room and use of a separate toilet room in the hallway. There’s no need to worry about equipment storage as Portetta has a dedicated storage and maintenance facility at its entry, freeing up space within your apartment. All you need to do is check your items in and out each day and they’ll look after the rest. In addition to equipment storage and maintenance, Portetta also houses an equipment rental shop, meaning you can get geared up and ready to hit the slopes without having to leave the lodge. With your comfort in mind, you can dine at the on-site Cucina Angelina restaurant - a popular dining spot that puts an Italian twist on mountain classics. While L'Hibou comes with a fully-functioning kitchen, you can upgrade to a half board dining basis if you don’t feel like cooking much during your stay. At ground level, a trendy apres-ski bar offers drinks and light bites when you’re fresh off the slopes. On top of all that, Portetta is also home to a world-class spa that offers a wonderfully relaxing range of rejuvenating beauty and wellness treatments.

Getting to L'Hibou is pretty easy and can be driven to directly from the UK or wider Europe, or you can fly into Geneva Airport and travel onwards from there if you prefer. If you’re making your way to L'Hibou from Geneva, expect a transfer time of around two and a half hours. Once in Courchevel Moriond, you’ll find L'Hibou within the dramatic Portetta lodge situated at the very base of the mountain, right beside the ski lift. Around Courchevel Moriond there are plenty of opportunities for socialising, with bars, restaurants, shops and cafes offering laid-back spots to hang out. Your shopping needs are also well looked after with a good-sized supermarket at the heart of the village stocking all your favourites. L'Hibou sits at the natural end of several of Courchevel Moriond’s ski runs, making it an ideal ski-in ski-out accommodation as the journey back to home base is just a few extra steps. As part of the Three Valleys ski resort, L'Hibou is part of a network of ski zones comprising of Courchevel Moriond, Courchevel 1550 and Courchevel 1850. Both sister villages can be easily accessed by car or the regular bus service that runs between the three villages. You can also ski from one to another, though areas like Courchevel 1850 contain more complex runs than Courchevel Moriond so be sure to consult your piste map before doing so to make sure your skill levels are suitable for the journey.
