Testimonials

Bear Lodge is an absolute gem! A gorgeous hotel with fantastic staff, in a brilliant location on the edge of Arc 1950 village, with ski in/out directly onto the piste. The food was excellent and the sauna/jacuzzi/swimming pool facilities were an added bonus. Everything was so well organised, it was just the perfect ski holiday!

A fantastic week in BV3 thanks to our amazing chalet hosts Hannah, Lottie, Clare and Becky, who were hardworking, friendly, professional and enthusiastic. The food prepared by Ashleigh and Charlie was really excellent. All the staff we met were so friendly and helpful from Concierge to the resort drivers. A great bunch of fellow guests, many of whom were repeat VIP visitors, all made for a great holiday.

I'd a really nice stay at Bear Lodge. The rooms were very comfy and hotel well located for the piste. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating, keeping us very well fed. Thoroughly recommend Bear Lodge!

Bear Lodge is a beautifully designed hotel with excellent staff. The rooms are comfortable with great attention to detail. The hotel design and location is really practical for skiing. The staff were warm and welcoming whilst also providing great service. The spa is a real bonus for a ski holiday, I used it everyday! The food served was of a high standard and the quantity was just right. I would stay at Bear Lodge again. It was the best ski resort hotel i have stayed in.

A superb week at Bear Lodge. Perfect location right by the slopes, wonderful spa and lovely staff. Great to meet the hardworking chefs at the end of the week - the food every night was fantastic. Couldn’t have asked for more!

A great experience - would highly recommend. Ski literally to and from the door in pretty much all ski conditions and excellent location high up in the ski domain. Arcs 1950 is a charming village centre only 5 mins walk from the hotel. The inclusion of 2 mornings ski guiding (from ESF instructors) for free was very welcome. Hotel is new, very well maintained and in excellent condition. Bedrooms are fine if unremarkable. Bathrooms are excellent. The pool and spa facilities (hot tub, sauna, steam room) are great and a real highlight of the trip - they became a hub for post-ski socialising. The bar area is very good with a good range of spaces for different sized groups - and the free drinks and canapés on the first and last night were a very nice touch. The restaurant area is nice. Breakfasts were great with daily specials and daily fruit smoothies a highlight. Dinner is included all 7 nights - food generally good and occasionally excellent, but also with some downwards variations at times. Free tea and cake in the bar after skiing was nice too. The staff were really great throughout- super-friendly with a very welcome “can do” attitude. And the relatively small size of the hotel means you get to know people quite quickly. The package is very cleverly managed with lots of thoughtful little touches and a flexible approach to adapt the guests’ needs. Hotel manager Murray is a great guy - super-approachable and down to earth. his positive approach filters down throughout this team. He even came out skiing with us on his day off!

Matt and Robie were the perfect hosts. Happy friendly and attentive. They fed us well and were chearful and attentive. Beluga is a really great place to stay, happy, warm super food by the truckful and the rooms have with great views. Ski in and out from the front door close to all amenities and of course the ski lifts. This is the ski venue that sets the gold standard.

Fantastic week, the nicest hotel I have stayed in for a ski holiday. Such friendly staff throughout and a fantastic manager, Murray. Facilities including ski in/ski out, spa, cinema room, large bar were great. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the food was great! Smart TVs in the bedrooms were a plus too. Would definitely come back!

Bear Lodge is a revelation - combining the best parts of a chalet experience in a hotel setting, with the benefits of larger facilities, bar, wider food selection and lots of friendly staff. Every detail of the building has been thought through, and Murray and his team are fantastic - they couldn't do enough for our group. Special thanks to the restaurant staff for dealing with our large group so efficiently. We like to ski in different resorts each trip but I can imagine the canvassing to be straight back here will be strong!

Thank you for an amazing ski stay. The hotel is lovely and in a fantastic position with views over the slopes and mountains! The hotel staff are super friendly and helpful. Nothing seemed to much trouble. One of the best places I have ever stayed. Thank you to all
