Lovely duplex penthouse - well laid out and with a quality fit out. Great location. Superb and attentive service - especially the early morning coffee to your bedroom door ! Great food and wine. Would certainly go back again.

Best chalet holiday I've had. Couldn't fault anything in terms of service, food and hospitality. Hope to see you again.

We love Val We’ve booked through VIP many times & they never disappoint. Our hosts Gavin & Amy have been super, very relaxed, professional & a delight to spend the week with. Food & service has been excellent.

Just got back from a wonderful week's skiing in Les Arcs staying at Bear Lodge. The VIP SKI team were on hand, attentive and helpful throughout the week. Location of Bear Lodge on the piste meant ski in/out. Everything was easy and I would certainly consider booking again. Thank you! Anne-Marie K.

The best ski in - ski out holiday. Amazing snow allowing us to ski right up to the chalet door! Close to our ski school meeting point, ski hire centre and great bars and restaurants. Amelia and Brendon were amazing chalet hosts making us feel very welcome and provided excellent meals for the adults and children. Nothing was a problem and they went above and beyond to make our holiday experience fantastic. Our youngest also had a nanny who was super and they did lots of fun activities together including bowling, baking and sledging. The resort manager Henry was always on hand ensuring everything was running smoothly and attended to anything we needed quickly and efficiently. Highly recommended and we look forward to staying again.

We were a party of eight, two grandparents, two adult children with spouses and two eight year old boys. We were delighted with the quality of the chalet, the cleanliness and facilities and it's convenient location. Our hosts, Jonah, Cat and Emily were extremely friendly, helpful, reliable and excellent cooks. We would also like to compliment the UK admin team for organising a smooth transfer, passes and restaurant booking. We would thoroughly recommend VIPSKI. Roy Munford

Our marvellous & entertaining chalet hosts, Hannah & Michaela welcomed us from the moment we arrived. From champagne and canapés waiting for us when we walked in the door, to our morning wake up drinks, the yummie breakfasts (with all of us having different requests), afternoon tea to tempt us and rounding off the day with a delicious dinner - what more could we ask for. The chalet is superbly located, close to the slopes and the town centre. As a non skier on this trip there is plenty to explore in Val d'Isere, as well as making the most of the spa in Aspen House. It is easy to get the lifts to the top of the mountain to meet the family for lunch.

Hello, Overall, we really enjoyed our recent trip to Bear Lodge. We have previously travelled with Scott Dunn, Mark Warner and the Chalet Edit - this was our first experience with VIP Ski. The hotel was really comfortable. The views from our interconnecting room were breath taking. The pool, an utter delight to unwind in after a day of skiing. The ease of the morning routine, from breakfast to boot room to piste with multiple children in ski lessons was seamless in contrast to other locations. ESF were excellent value and the groups small enough that the children each had a positive ski experience despite the onslaught of snow, almost daily! The restaurant staff all so friendly, food good, and concierge attentive and able to answer all questions readily and gladly. We chose VIP, on the recommendation of friends, for their fantastic reputation for childcare. The ski lessons finished outside the hotel, so the seamless collection of the children, to lunch meant for a longer ski day for us, worry-free. Whilst logistically, this all worked, the childcare department wasn't at all what we had hoped for. 

We stayed in Suite Baloo as 2 families, each with 2 adults, a 6 and a 3 yr old. The whole trip really was fantastic - this was the first ski trip for our children, and the set up of Bear Lodge really made it all seamless. From the transfers, to having ski rental in the building, to the fantastic nannies in Bear Cubs (our kids loved Daisy!) and the way they liaised with ski school - it was all extremely slick. We really did have a great time and the chalet/apartment itself was clean and a great space. If we were to offer 2 areas for improvement they would be: 1) On the website the floor plan for Baloo shows a curtain dividing the kids bunk area from the main bedroom, this in fact was not there which definitely made it harder for the kids and grown ups to sleep. 2) Whilst the food and chalet hosting was great, it was very noisy, smelly and often smokey when there was cooking in the chalet, which made it quite hard to relax in the living space pre-dinner every day.

We had a brilliant week staying at Bear Lodge, the accommodation was exceptional and the location was ideal. All the staff were so helpful and a special mention goes to Sylvie, who was always a pleasure to speak to and very professional. We only wished we had ordered our ski equipment inhouse which would have saved time going to the ski hire ( even though it wasn't too far to walk !). Thank you to Murray and all the team.
