A major fire ripped through the Grandes Alpes hotel in Courchevel on Tuesday evening, forcing the evacuation of nearly 300 people from the luxury ski resort.
Firefighters were called around 7 p.m. as flames spread quickly through the roof spaces of the five-star property. By Wednesday morning, more than 100 firefighters, backed by around 60 vehicles and reinforcements from neighbouring departments, were still working to contain the blaze in snowy conditions.
