In the rarified circles of luxury and refinement, Oleg Tinkov emerges as a visionary par excellence. This accomplished Russian magnate, renowned for birthing the famed Tinkoff Bank and revered among cycling aficionados for his stewardship of the Tinkoff cycling squadron, has crafted yet another marvel. At the pinnacle of Courchevel 1850—the zenith and jewel of Courchevel's alpine offerings—stands La Datcha, a chalet that isn't just another address but an experience, a sojourn into unparalleled luxury.
The heartbeat of La Datcha resonates with its interior design, a symphony orchestrated by the master architect, Vasiliy Shprits. He seamlessly weaves the timeless charm of traditional chalet aesthetics with opulent wooden touches. Every corner, every nook of La Datcha whispers tales of luxury—be it the soft embrace of lavish furs, the fireplace adorned with traditional Russian motifs, chandeliers that shimmer with gold leaf finishes, or curtains draped in sumptuous linen and jacquard. Each furniture piece, whether swathed in the supple embrace of leather, the rustic charm of canvas, or the regal splendor of silk, resonates with an elegance that marries the best of Russia and Europe. And then, there's that unexpected dash of Russian flamboyance—a resplendent 60's collector car, a six-seater beauty, reborn with a modern heart, a concept that stands unparalleled in the Alpine landscapes.
Vasiliy's genius continues to unravel as one traverses the chalet, with each level exuding its own magnetic charm. Envision this: Awakened by the morning’s embrace, the sprawling vistas of Courchevel greet you. And as this natural splendor unfolds, the culinary ballet of a two-star Michelin chef crafts breakfast, setting the stage for conversations and plans. To satiate the palette of the discerning, Oleg Tinkov, with his sommeliers, have curated an exclusive ensemble of wines, handpicked from the world's most private cellars.
Every space, be it a living area or a sanctuary of rest, echoes with a distinctive style. Yet, there's a common undercurrent—a call to the vivacious, to those who resonate with the zest of the Alpine lifestyle, cherishing every shared moment and memory. Iconic brands like Bang & Olufsen, Klafs, Promemoria, and Giorgetti are not just present—they come alive, every piece handpicked to enhance the chalet's inherent aura of elegance, prestige, and singularity.
For those moments when the soul seeks solace, La Datcha's spa emerges as an oasis of serenity. Spanning a generous 134.5 m², its hallowed confines promise rejuvenation. Whether it’s the aftermath of an exhilarating ski down the 3Valleys or an intense gym session, the spa offers the balm of tranquility. The icy embrace of the fountain juxtaposes perfectly with the warmth of the sauna and steam room, while the massage chamber adds to the chalet’s ambiance of warmth and welcomeness.
Nestled atop Courchevel's majestic heights, La Datcha isn't just about the luxury within but also the world-class service that accompanies it. Every guest is bestowed with the luxury of a private chauffeur, ever-ready, twelve hours a day, ensuring every journey, no matter how short or long, is as luxurious as the destination itself.
