Chalet Bel Air has been transformed by the work we’ve done over the last 3 years and now it has been made even better. The beautiful new wooden flooring and contemporary bathrooms made a huge difference and the new lounge has been an even bigger improvement. During summer 2023 we have stripped every square inch of external woodwork back to the original, much lighter colour and oiled it to protect form the sun and snow. We hope you enjoy our new “old” look…

Bel Air is a popular chalet for groups and those who enjoy the sociability of a large chalet. The dining area has a beautiful rustic wooden table, and there’s a comfortable, bright lounge centred around a stone fireplace. The huge terrace is great for enjoying sunny moments and spying on the Funival heading up to Bellevarde’s peaks.

The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and all have West-facing balconies (perfect for sunsets) and ensuite bathroom facilities with shower and bath in each – if soaking away the aches and pains is what you need after a day on the hill. Another option for post-ski pampering is our fabulous two shared outdoor hot tubs with shower room, which is in the courtyard just below.

Guests in Bel Air can use our comprehensive shuttle service to and from the slopes in the morning and evening.

Alternatively the main village is a short journey on the shuttle from the nearby bus stop, or a nine minute walk.

Meals

Your day starts with freshly brewed tea or coffee (don’t worry, we bring real teabags from the UK) and a spread of fresh crusty baguette and jams, yoghurt, fruit and cereals on the table. The cooked breakfast menu changes every day but includes bacon, sausages, eggs, French toast, grilled tomato, succulent mushrooms, Heinz baked beans…

Once you’ve returned from your tough day on the slopes, homemade afternoon tea is served and favourites range from classic treats such as scones with cream and jam to squidgy brownies or raspberry and white chocolate cupcakes. In the evening we let our experienced hosts use their imaginations and the fantastic fresh produce we have to create a mouthwatering 3-course menu for the week.

We now serve canapes prior to each of the five chalet dinners. On Sunday they are accompanied by Champagne and on other catered nights a local “methode traditionelle” produced by our friend and winemaker Nicolas Perret. It’s a delicious, light fizz with very few wine miles as it is made just down the valley! Our experienced hosts use the fantastic fresh produce we have to create a mouthwatering 3-course menu for the week.

Unlimited red, rosé and white wines (from bottles, not boxes!) are served through dinner, with coffee and chocolates in the lounge after your meal.

In line with other chalet operators we are moving to 5 days catering.
