In the evening they will amaze you further with their culinary skills and dish up a 3 course dinner, followed by cheese and coffee and of course accompanied with plenty of red or white wine. There’s a choice of twin and double bedrooms, all with en-suite bath or walk-in shower, hand basin and WC. The four bedrooms on the second floor all have a balcony.

A green/blue piste leads a few hundred yards down to the Olympique lift area and ski school meeting point from behind the chalet but the driver service will drop you there if you wish. The ski back to the chalet in the afternoon involves either a red or black piste or short traverse across some unkempt snow fields, otherwise a short walk up the hill from the piste. Don’t worry if your last ski down is into La Daille, the driver service will pick you up from La Daille until 6pm.

For guests staying in Hameau de Bellevarde chalets, there is an offer of complimentary ski guiding on Monday and Tuesday from 09h30-12h30 (12h00-15h00 in school holidays) with an Oxygene Instructor (subject to availability and a maximum of 20 guests) and there is a conveniently located ski & board rental service.
