£120,000–£220,000 for a 6–10 bed at the top-20 tier for the actual Christmas week; £150,000–£350,000 for New Year with a common 10-night minimum. Rates are catered. Ultra-flagships (Les Airelles residences, Cheval Blanc suites) sit at the top of and beyond those bands.
Mid-March: roughly 45–60% below February half term on the same chalet. Late March: often 55–65% below. Early January: the single quietest premium week and typically the best-value week of the season on the strongest chalets.

Courchevel 1850 for the strongest chalet portfolio, Michelin dining (Le 1947, La Table de l'Ours) and Altiport arrivals. Val d'Isère for arguably the strongest ski (Espace Killy) with a more understated village. Pricing broadly comparable at equivalent tiers; Courchevel skews slightly higher.
The top 20 chalets in Courchevel 1850 for Christmas or February half term are typically fully booked 9–12 months out — many by returning clients who provisionally rebook on departure. For March shoulder, 3–5 months is usually enough.
At £30,000+ per week, catered is the norm — a private chef cooking to your menu is a large part of the value. Self-catered / staffed penthouses (Le K2 Djola, Airelles residences) suit families who want restaurant flexibility every night.
