When to book
Christmas and New Year are the hardest weeks in any ski resort, and new hotels often hold their best suites for launch partners and returning guests of the group. If you want one of these openings for the festive period, the time to ask is now. February half-term is the next pressure point.
What we arrange
We can request suites, organise private transfers or a helicopter from Geneva or Chambéry, book ski instructors and tables for the busiest nights, and pay in fiat or crypto.
Frequently asked questions
Which new hotel is best for families?
Saint Roch has a kids club and THE GREEN offers free childcare. We can suggest the right suite for your group.
Are these hotels ski-in and ski-out?
Sivolière, Bourbon and Bârma are described as ski-in and ski-out. Saint Roch has access to the Bellecôte run.
Can you get us in over Christmas?
We will try. Availability over the festive weeks is limited, so the earlier you ask, the better.
