Savoyard hospitality pioneer family in Courchevel
History
Le Lana opened its doors in 1958. Chamonix-born, Jo Tournier, believed in Courchevel and contributed to the awareness of the station by creating 20 rooms: a “small top-notch hotel” offering unique services for that time.
The property then became the first 4 star hotel in Courchevel. Jo Tournier and his wife Catherine permanently ugraded, enlarged, embellished their property and hence attracted an international clientele interested in a certain art de vivre. This progressively turned Courchevel into the most beautiful and trendiest resort in the Alps. The art of welcoming became the mission for an entire family.
When the patriarch disappeared, his two sons took over the family business. Eric, the older son is heading the Tournier group and manages several properties in Courchevel and Saint-Tropez. Nicolas, the younger one, took over the management of the Lana in 1993.
The original chalet has today 55 rooms, 28 suites and 2 apartments.

Issued from the spirit of Jo Tournier, Le Lana, a little family chalet created in 1958, has participated in the rise of the Courchevel resort by cultivating conviviality, art de vivre and the taste of service.
Know-how
Since its creation, Le Lana has gradually evolved to become today the expression of downright luxury. Embedded in the heart of the resort of Courchevel, the property whose exterior is reminiscent of the traditional Savoyard chalets, occupies a privileged location at the pistes and close to the luxury boutiques.
Inside the property the refinement is only matched by the quality of the service. The rooms and suites are vast and spacious. The light which passes through the bay windows transcends the beauty of the place and highlights the vistas of the snowy mountains.
In the turquoise water of the heated pool, in the heat of the sauna or in the expert hands of the osteopaths and beauticians, the guests are relaxing with great pleasure. The vaults of the ceiling supported by ornated columns host large sofas in which the guest easily forgets the trials of the day.
For foodies, the restaurants Le Saint-Nicolas and La Table du Lana combine the pleasure for the eyes and the palate to enjoy meals full of flavours. And at the pistes, as soon as the weather is fine, gourmets will enjoy food at the terrace of La Table du Lana.
