The chalet was generally pretty good. There were probably one or two small things that weren’t ideal.

Meals: Chalet L’Ours Andin food & drink

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff involved in food preparation are trained to the City & Guilds qualification – Level 2 in Food Safety during the pre-season training course. There is a continental breakfast is every morning and a breakfast hot option, afternoon tea and evening dinners are provided for six days of the week in both chalets and Chalet Hotels.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a hot option, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff day off, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon Tea

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff day off. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready.

Children's High Tea

In chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 11 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Dinner in Chalets

In the evenings our hosts will cook you a three-course adult only meal six nights a week. This starts with a glass of prosecco followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert – with unlimited complimentary red, white and rosé wine during service! There is also an option for vegetarians, please warn us in advance.

One of these meals will be a regional meal with the menu depending on which country you are staying in.

On the staff one night off per week just a continental breakfast is provided and it’s a great opportunity for you to experience some local restaurants in your resort. Speak to your resort representative for recommendations and help with reservations.

Vegetarian and Special Diets

Vegetarian options are available in our properties – just advise us at time of bookings so that we can ensure that our staff can prepare. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared. Our Chalet Hosts will discuss your dietary requirements with you upon arrival to the chalet or Chalet Hotel.

Christmas and New Year

All of our chalets and Chalet Hotels will serve a traditional Christmas dinner with a glass of Champagne to start off the evening. This will include roast turkey with all of the trimmings, Christmas pudding, mince pies, crackers and party hats plus a fantastic Alpine atmosphere in which to enjoy the day.

A special festive menu will also be served on New Year’s Eve, alongside the added bonus that many resorts put on fantastic firework displays. A glass of fizz, whilst watching fireworks over the snow-capped peaks of the Alps.. what better way to bring in the New Year!

Our Quality Wines

We are very proud of our wine selection for chalets and Chalet Hotels, which combines crisp and fruity whites with medium to full-bodied reds, for a variety of palates. We select our wines in conjunction with our good friends Nicolas and Véronique – the third generation in the Perret family’s fine wine business based in the Savoie. Nicolas is a qualified wine expert, having trained at the prestigious Burgundy Wine University in Beaune. Each season in October, Nicolas & Véronique bring over a new selection for us to sample (someone has to do it!) and together we choose our wines for the coming season, based on our menus and their pure enjoyment factor. Wine is an incredibly subjective and emotive subject, however, the feedback we have received from our guests over recent seasons endorses our aims of providing wines to enhance your meal and to suit most tastes. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we do!

We update Chalet L’Ours Andin's details often, but facilities do change. e.g. some extras listed by the supplier as "free" or included might only be for the first time you use them, or for one time per party, then charged for further use. If any specific feature is essential to your holiday, make sure you ask us to confirm the details of it before you book your holiday.

Les Arcs came to be in 1968 after a group of ski instructors and architects dreamt up a resort with all the perks of a village but a mountainside location. It grew into one of the largest, most incredible ski areas in the Alps. The closest airport is Chambery with a transfer time of a couple of hours, plus transport links from Geneva, Lyon and Grenoble. Present-day Les Arcs consists of four main purpose built villages. The original resort, Arc 1600, was created for doorstep skiing and is linked by a funicular ...
As you'd expect from one of the biggest ski areas on the planet, there's everything from gorgeous tree-lined runs to wild, white-knuckle off-piste. For beginners, each of the 3 main Arcs has 'ski tranquille' zone, and the wide beginner runs leading to the resort have gentle gradients perfect for practising. Local instructors are on hand to show you the ropes, with ski schools based in each of the main villages (1800 has the most). There are magic carpet lifts at 1800 and 2000 - an easy way for newbies to get up ...
If you're looking for a party, Arc 1800 is the place to be. With heaps of watering holes like the Red Hot Saloon (or the 'Red Bar' to use local lingo), Benji's and La Folie Douce. If you're looking for more of a French-style après spot, Ambiente Cafe has a really cool atmosphere and lots of nice cocktails (happy hour usually starts at 4) while Le club 1950 your venue if you're looking to party into the wee hours. Arc 1600's a little quieter but for good music and a scenic terrace check out Les 2 Têtes. In te...

"Great chalet, let down by the host"

Mrs Hancock, North Yorkshire
3/ out of 5
The actual chalet was really good and I would give it a 5/5. It was all very clean and we had plenty of hot water. All the bedrooms were en-suite and had enough storage. You could ski down to the slopes and we’d had a big pile of snow so the skiing was easy. The ski hire was right underneath the chalet so it was all very convenient. However the host, an 18 year old lad on a gap year, just didn’t know what he was doing or how to communicate with anyone. The worst bit was that he had loads of his friends coming in and out, banging doors when the children were nearby. The children were old enough to know not to leave the chalet, but he always left the door on the latch which I wasn’t very comfortable with, especially at night. He was also quite rude, the kids tried to engage with him and we’d try and chat to him but he wouldn’t interact. It was really nice being all together, although we weren’t allowed to eat together which was a bit of a shame. We were meant to have a 4 course meal with chocolate and coffee at the end but it didn’t appear – the host said he had forgot but then he didn’t do anything about it. Although we had to wait a while for the second course, the food was lovely and the waiting didn’t bother us too much.

"A fab Christmas in Les Arcs"

Kate Burrows, Newport
4/ out of 5
Our Christmas here was fab! The chalet itself is really convenient, the food was great and the staff were fab – I don’t think there was anything we could have moaned about. We couldn’t have asked for more. They really went out of their way at Christmas, the rep arranged for another guy to come as Santa and leave footprints in sugar by the fireplace, and they had a Santa in the foyer giving out chocolates. From the resort point of view, trying to get up the slope to get to the lift was difficult for the children and older people in our group. Other than that I can’t fault it. The ski shop is right underneath the chalet which was useful. Bedrooms were all fine.

"Pretty good chalet"

Adrian
4/ out of 5
The chalet was generally pretty good. There were probably one or two small things that weren’t ideal. The set up with the chalet staff – there were staff coming and going whenever they pleased, including ones who weren’t looking after us who we didn’t know. It made the atmosphere a bit strange as you couldn’t really relax. The layout was good enough, although you had to walk through the kitchen to reach two of the bedrooms (could be a bit difficult when they were people in the kitchen) – however that’s just nitpicking! The food was great, and the location was only a short walk from the closest lift. The Whistler bar is pretty close and we all enjoyed it there.

"Ground floor fast access to the slopes"

Jimmy, Sno Staff
5/ out of 5
With the easiest access to the piste and lifts, this chalet is located on the bottom floor which is only 3 minutes’ walk away from the slopes and the free swimming pool (must check before you book) across the way where you can relax. The chalet is cosy and warm, furnished to high quality with its open living area and fire place. It's a nice place to stay when skiing the Paradiski domain.
