When it comes to winter luxury, one ski destination continues to rank top of the list - Courchevel in the French Alps, according to leading private air charter broker Oxygen 4, is the ski resort at which to see and be seen.
And even this year, with the credit crunch biting, some of the resort’s most sumptuous hotels were already fully booked six months ago for the peak January fortnight 2-14th with some guests paying upwards of €50,000 to ensure the best accommodation.

Courchevel ski resort has teamed up with Lacroix to present a pitara full of skiing essentials.
This elite set comprises a pair of Courchevel Ski Exclusive, a pair of Lx Smatrack, carbon sticks, leathered gloves, a ski mask and two empty leather pockets.
All this is encased in a luxury leather trunk that is exclusively signed by Pinel and Pinel. A drawer on the bottom provides additional storage space. Fitted with wheels, the case can be easily tagged along.
Only 10 such cases will roll out for a whopping price tag of 50,000 euros (about $70,000) and they will be available at Lacroix boutique at Courchevel . You can also check out their website lacroix-skis.com
