History
Hôtel Le K2 Altitude opened in December 2016 on the site of the Kilimandjaro, at 356 route de l'Altiport, on the Pralong piste just above Courchevel 1850. Philippe and Suzanne Capezzone created it after Le K2 Palace, and their son Thomas Capezzone designed the interiors, following a concept Olivier Gossart had made for the Palace. The company Les Chalets de Pralong, which traded as Hôtel Kilimandjaro, was dissolved into Hôtel Le K2 Altitude in August 2017. The house has 14 rooms and 18 suites. In March 2026 the restaurant L'Altitude received its first Michelin star, with chefs Guillaume Duchemin and Davide Sessa. The hotel is a Leading Hotels of the World member.
