First opened in 2003, hôtel les barmes de l’ours was built on our passion for the mountains. designed with noble and authentic materials, the hotel delights guests with its priviledged location at the foot of the legendary bellevarde run, not to mention its artistic and family spirit.

An authentic and refined chalet

With its flagstone roof, this traditional Savoie-style residence offers an authentic and subdued decor, perfect for spending time with friends and family.

Interior designer Michel Force chose to favour the authenticity and nobility of the materials used on every floor of the hotel, tastefully playing with various wood tones, stones and fabrics.

He created a unique identity on every floor to take you on a special journey: Scandinavian spirit, Lodge of the American Great White North, Alpine chalet and Mountain loft with contemporary style, all delighting guests with different ambiances that are a joy to discover.

Family Spirit

In our 11 suites dedicated to making children’s stay pleasurable, everything is arranged for their comfort and enjoyment: soft slippers, stuffed animals for a gentle night’s sleep, bathrobes their size… A well-stocked game room is at their disposal. Game consoles, pool and table-soccer are available for older kids.

Barmes

Caves in which bears would hibernate. Savoyard dialect.

Le Bar is cultural haven with book-filled shelves, colourful paintings and unique sculptures. Near the copper still by the bar or in the spacious common room, the warm and intimate atmosphere beckons you in to relax

The Spa

The spa welcomes guests in a modern decor, an atmosphere where the zen attitude fills every space.

Hammam, sauna and Jacuzzi are also key parts of your quest for absolute tranquillity.

The Spa is open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

The Spa offers a wide range of facial and body treatments with numerous positive virtues: anti-stress , anti-aging, beauty care, slimming, world massages… a variety of choices for everyone seeking a feeling of deep well-being.

Hairdressing salon

These hair beauty rituals are planned individually for each client, and are inspired by Japanese traditions, similarly to a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

Every step brings harmony to the scalp and hair, building a feeling of wellness thanks to Shiatsu-inspired movements. Shiatsu is a manual therapy technique practiced for thousands of years in the Far East, consisting most often of vertical pressure applied by the thumbs.

Comfortably settled into the salon’s massaging armchair, you can appreciate the benefits of this experience with an “Initiation” ceremony. This 15 minutes ritual includes shampooing your hair twice, with gentle pressure points that free your scalp of tension, followed by a capillary mask. The ceremony is completed by other Shiatsu points on your neck, head, shoulders and trapezius muscles. Then choose a cut, highlights, styling… or whatever else you may desire.

Pro-Shop, dedicated to fashion and skiing

The Pro-shop also takes care of tuning skis and boots, and offers luggage and ski storage services from one season to the next.
The hotel’s Pro-shop is the largest ski store at the resort, with a surface area of over 250 m² on two floors. You will also find all the major names in ready-to-wear winter sportswear, such as Lacroix, Goldbergh, Fire & Ice, Dale of Norway, Moscow, Henjl, and Fenix, as well as Victorinox luggage…
