Rooms

Inaugurated in 2003, the hotel Les Barmes de l’Ours was born out of an immense love of the mountains. This family hotel at the foot of the ski slopes provides a comprehensive offer in a combination of gourmet dining, relaxation, well-being and a love of sport. 

The hotel features 4 different styles: the Scandinavian spirit, the lodge from the far north of the Americas, the alpine chalet and the contemporary loft. 

The hotel has reinvented itself every season since its creation in tandem with local crafts people, while retaining its feel of a mountainside hotel in Savoie. Considerable importance is given to the decoration, the woodwork and the rough stonework, as well as the balance between tradition and modernity.
