Chez Bear Ski Lodge is a beautifully restored 17th century farmhouse with an outdoor hot tub in the Briançon valley. Sleeping 12 guests over its five bedrooms and offering a range of entertainment and wellness facilities, this traditional chalet is a great option for a catered ski holiday in the Serre-Chevalier ski area.
The cosy lounge area of Chez Bear Ski Lodge is bursting with an authentic alpine charm, rustic wood beams from the original farmhouse and white stone walls create a comforting design made homely by the open fireplace in the corner of the room. Plush sofas and armchairs welcome guests to rest their tired legs and enjoy some afternoon tea after their day on the slopes of Serre-Chevalier. Around the corner, the dinner table and bar area provide a relaxed social space for guests to unwind in each other's company. A wood burning pizza oven also sits behind the bar, adding to your evening's ambiance.
Outside on Chez Bear Ski Lodge's terrace, soak in the views from the soothing wood fired Nordic hot tub. Perfect for post-ski recovery and relaxation, especially when paired with a rejuvenating session in the chalet's traditional sauna. It's just what you need after an exhilarating day on the mountain. For some friendly competition in the evenings, retire to the games area for a tournament on the pool table. Sat under arched stone ceilings with comfy furniture, it's the ideal hangout for an evening of fun with your loved ones. A large projector screen can also be pulled down for you to enjoy your favourite blockbuster.
Chez Bear Ski Lodge has five en-suite bedrooms, offering a cosy cabin feel and views over the mountains from their windows. With four double bedrooms and a further triple room, the chalet is ideal for a group of friends or families. Some bedrooms have additional beds on mezzanine levels, so the chalet can sleep up to 15 on request.

Chez Bear Ski Lodge offers a fully catered service provided by a passionate chalet team made up of a manager, chef and host. This attentive team will coordinate everything related to your holiday so you can relax, enjoy the beautiful nature of the French Alps and make the most out of your stay.
This team strongly believe food is the ingredient that binds people together. Food brings people to the table and when a tasty meal is served not only are you left feeling refuelled and replenished but hopefully with a full sense of joy too! They aim to use ingredients from the local region and deliver on both taste and presentation. Each day the meal will be a different experience! To compliment the meals, your glasses will be readily topped up with a choice of local red and white wine. To finish the meal, a cheese board and port will allow you to relax at the table, continuing enjoying your company and conversation. Your chef will contact you ahead of your stay to discuss your menus for the week and make proper arrangements to meet all of your group's dietary requirements.
The chalet comes with access to a driving service, who is ready to take you to the slopes until 11am and pick you up after 3:30pm. The timings do have some flexibility to them if necessary, and on request.
Prior to your trip, they will be glad to assist you with the booking of ski tuition, guides, equipment or help with any restaurant reservations, massages or additional activities.
