Luxury Chalet Home Automation in Courchevel, Megève and Val d'Isère
OÏKO is an ultra-high-end AV and home-automation integrator, founded in 2016, that designs, installs and programs the systems of luxury chalets and 5-star hotels across the French Alps — Courchevel, Megève and Val d'Isère. OÏKO maintains a local base in Moûtiers, in the Tarentaise valley, at the foot of the resorts. In the Alps, OÏKO has delivered the integration of Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges in Courchevel (2021) and of Rosewood Le Jardin Alpin in Courchevel (2025). OÏKO deploys Crestron, Lutron, KNX, Bose and Schneider technologies: centralised control of lighting, motorised shades and curtains, heating, multiroom audio and video, private cinema and security.
Why choose OÏKO for chalet home automation in the Alps?
OÏKO is an AV and home-automation integrator specialised in ultra-high-end projects: UHNW chalets, 5-star hotels, palaces and private residences. Three things set OÏKO apart in the French Alps:
- A local base in the Tarentaise valley, in Moûtiers, for on-site coordination, commissioning and ongoing support of chalets in Courchevel, Méribel, Val d'Isère and neighbouring resorts.
- Verifiable Alpine references: integration of Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges in Courchevel (2021) and Rosewood Le Jardin Alpin in Courchevel (2025).
- Command of the market's leading platforms — Crestron, Lutron, KNX, Bose, Schneider — through certified teams, including three Crestron Masters Certified Programmers.
A luxury chalet at altitude imposes specific constraints: timber-and-stone architecture, large glazed façades, dual exposure, seasonal occupancy, careful heating management while owners are away, and a demand for invisible integration. OÏKO designs each installation as a coordinated system rather than a juxtaposition of devices.
Which automation features does OÏKO integrate in a luxury chalet?
Every chalet is unique, but an OÏKO integration typically covers the following areas:
- Centralised control and scenes — Crestron processors and touch panels, wall keypads, tablet and smartphone apps, with 'arrival', 'cinema', 'night' and 'away' scenes.
- Lighting and shading — Lutron dimming and scene control (HomeWorks), motorised shades and curtains, blackout and ambient layering, highlighting the timber architecture and volumes.
- Heating and comfort — room-by-room heating and temperature control, frost-protection and pre-heating before owners arrive, KNX and Schneider integration.
- Multiroom audio and video — Bose audio distribution in living spaces, video distribution, integrated televisions and home cinema.
- Private cinema — a dedicated room with projection, immersive sound and acoustic treatment.
- Network and infrastructure — structured cabling, high-density Wi-Fi, remote supervision and maintenance.
- Security — access control, video surveillance and alarm integrated into the central system.
Each feature is matched to specific brands and product references at the design stage, never left generic.

OÏKO's base in Moûtiers, in the Tarentaise valley, places the teams in immediate proximity to the Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens and Val d'Isère resorts.

How does a chalet automation project with OÏKO unfold?
OÏKO follows a five-step methodology:
1. Design and engineering — analysis of needs, plans and architecture, definition of features and selection of equipment.
2. Coordination — working with the architect, interior architect, project manager and other trades for an invisible integration.
3. Integration and programming — installation, cabling and programming by certified teams, including three Crestron Masters programmers.
4. Commissioning and handover — testing, scene tuning and owner training.
5. Maintenance and supervision — follow-up, updates and remote supervision, supported by the local base in Moûtiers.
For a chalet at altitude, planning accounts for the seasonal calendar, resort access and the on-site constraints specific to the mountains.
