About the company
Located in the heart of the village of Val d’Isère, Les Barmes de l’Ours**, a member of Relais & Châteaux,** offers you the opportunity to work and gain skills in an establishment providing quality service to its clientele. You will evolve in an exceptional setting, at the foot of the slopes and a few meters from many activities (aqua-sports center, cinema, seasonal workers' center...).
The hotel consists of 76 rooms and suites, each floor featuring a warm and original decor.
The establishment also consists of three restaurants led by Chef Antoine Gras:
La Table de l’Ours, our gastronomic restaurant, 1 Michelin star; La Rôtisserie, redesigned with its traditional dishes; and our Coin Savoyard.
Our bar offers original or personalized creations that meet our customers' desires in a warm environment by the fireside. In continuity, the Kid’s club area and our bowling alley give our clientele the opportunity to spend pleasant moments throughout the day.
A highlight, the 1,000 m² SPA area notably includes an indoor pool enjoying beautiful natural light. On the same level, you will find our hair salon, where you have the possibility to access preferential rates.
