Details

The largest of our Bear Resort suites, Penthouse Misha, sits on the seventh floor of our brand new building. This operator are delighted to be opening 12 luxurious suites and a 30 bedroom lodge perched on the edge of Arc 1950. Each suite has been affectionately named after mythical bears from around the world.

Penthouse Misha is sprawled across two floors, made up of 6 en suite bedrooms, one of which has additional bunk beds (children occupying bunk beds pay half price). The comfortable and stylish open plan living / dining room provides ample space and a delightful place for a group of friends or a large family looking for a private ski experience in Arc 1950. The unique accommodation sleeps 12 to 14 guests comfortably and boasts sensational views onto Mont Blanc.

These suites share the same building as Bear Lodge, strung along the side of the Baptiste Giabiconi blue piste and opposite the Marmottes and Bois de L'Ours chairlifts. You can glide away from the concierge managed ski room and rental shop or stroll across the piste to the magical traffic free village of arc 1950. An extraordinary intersection of pistes, characterful shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.

After a busy day exploring the Paradiski region, unwind in the fabulous facilities of our Bear Resort; a spacious communal lounge and bar, proper size pool complex with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and massage suites, gym, cinema, kids playroom and concierge ski room with rental shop.

Your dedicated host will provide a cooked and continental breakfast, afternoon tea, canapes on the first and last evening, and a 3 course evening meal on 6 nights, followed by a cheese board and coffee and served with a choice of red and white wine.

The images you can see are all CGI but the animation team know exactly how this operator builds and furnishes, everything is to scale from the architect plans.

Complimentary coach transfer from and to Geneva Airport

The operator of this chalet no longer include flights with their holidays. They recognise that fewer and fewer guests wished to conform with rigid charter flight times and a fixed departure airport and so instead they now offer three complimentary scheduled bus services from Geneva to and from each of their resorts at different times of the day.

For those who might worry about being inconvenienced by flight delays or waiting unnecessarily at Geneva for a scheduled coach departure, or indeed for those who would prefer to fly to Lyon, Grenoble, or Chambery, they have negotiated and subsidised some incredible rates so you can have your own personal driver and private transfer to and from resort from a supplement of only £20 per person in the Portes du Soleil and £40 per person to the Tarentaise.

this operator will have a manned desk at Geneva to provide assistance to all arriving and departing guests throughout the day and with airlines such as British Airways, Swiss, Easyjet and Jet2 offering a vast range of flights on a Sunday (Wednesday for December departures) from all the regional airports, you now have complete control over your flying at your, rather than our, convenience.

COVID-19 Refund Policy

Covid Refund Policy

Up until the day that you travel this operator will offer a full refund of any money paid under the following circumstances:

If they are required to cancel your booking due to travel restrictions within France;
If they are required to cancel your booking due the closure by the French authorities of your chosen resort;
or in the event of the closure of the ski lifts by the authorities in your chosen resort;
or if France imposes a compulsory quarantine on visitors from the UK;
or if the UK government describes France as an AMBER or RED country under the current traffic light system

They will not refund and/or be liable for any losses howsoever arising under the following circumstances, and therefore require that you take out adequate insurance (many policies are available) to cover:

Where France is described as a GREEN country under the current traffic light system. Please note that if the requirement to take an rapid antigen Covid test in France within 72 hours of your return to the UK, in other words during your holiday, a current requirement for GREEN countries, remains at your date of travel then we will make arrangements on your behalf to facilitate this with a minimum of inconvenience, hopefully in your own chalet. The cost of the test would be at your expense but at time of writing is €30-40.
Where you have been diagnosed with Covid-19 before confirmed arrival and are no longer able to travel;
Where you have been in contact with someone that has been diagnosed with Covid-19 and need to self-isolate;
Where you have been contacted by NHS Test and Trace (or your national or local test and trace systems) and you are required to self-isolate;

Catering

A catered chalet holiday is all about the food... Our Executive Chef is passionate about food and hugely sensitive to the appetite of a hungry skier whilst considering a balanced diet. The new and refined menus are heavy enough to reward mountain exertion yet light and simple enough to leave you grinning not groaning.

As well as possessing a flair for entertaining and a genuine love of food, our chalet hosts are friendly, unflappable and exceptionally hard working. Every chalet and hotel in our portfolio offers you a catered ski holiday, so whether you choose to ski in France, Austria or Switzerland, your dedicated chalet host will ensure your mountain exertions are rewarded with sumptuous food and fine wine.

Choose alternative dishes

Many of our guests have commented that occasionally, after a hard day skiing (and often quite a substantial lunch on the mountain), they would prefer to see a more simple dish on the menu, or maybe a lighter option.

We’ve listened to your requests and can now offer the following menu choices which can be ‘switched in’ from our standard menu plan.

Simply select the dish you wish to switch (listed below 1-5), and select the dish you wish to replace it with (listed below A-G).

Important notes

Dinner on the first Sunday evening cannot be switched. This is only available for whole chalet bookings and the whole group must all agree on the ‘switch’ i.e. only one dish can be served each night (vegetarians/ special dietary requirements will of course still be catered for). Menu switches must be advised no later than 2 weeks prior to travel in order for us to pass on the details to your chalet host. No limit to switches, you can switch just one, or all 5 meals.

Dietary requests

We do understand a holiday can sometimes be stressful particularly if you, or one of your family have food allergies or special dietary requirements. Our mission is simple; to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. So, to that end we will do everything we can to cater for your needs. Whilst our menu is planned, it is not set in stone, we will always do our best to accommodate preferences and requests.

Unfortunately, most ski resorts simply do not offer the huge selection of Gluten, Lactose or Dairy free products available in UK supermarkets. That said, if you have any dietary requests, food intolerances or food allergies, we will do our upmost to plan the menu to suit your needs.

Have special dietary requests? In order to plan the menu and source relevant ingredients it is important that you advise us at the time of booking (or at least two weeks before you depart for your holiday). If you have any questions or concerns, one of our Executive Chefs would be more than happy to speak with you personally to ensure you have the confidence we can deliver a chalet holiday to remember. Please call 020 8313 3999 if you wish to discuss your dietary requirements.

Sample children's menu

Our chalet hosts serve high tea for children around 5.30-6pm. We require all children under 12 to take high tea unless you book the whole chalet. If you book the whole chalet and would rather your children eat with you later then please advise us at the time of booking along with any dietary requirements your child may have.

Our children's menus are very adaptable and the chalet host will discuss with you on arrival to tailor meals to your children's liking.

Children’s tartiflette
Crispy chicken goujons with potato wedges and baked beans
