We dreamt up our perfect chalet and our long-standing friend and partner in Meribel, Bernard Raffort, assembled it. We were thinking huge vaulted living room with central fireplace, fabulous views of the pistes, perhaps a hot tub on the large south facing terrace and just maybe a small swimming pool with counter current too. Then we pondered a sumptuous cinema for the odd blockbuster, a billiard room for après-dinner amusement, and … lets go mad, how about a lift for when we felt tired or lazy at the end of the day. We pondered, Bernard built. Bellacima Lodge has it all.

Bellacima Lodge opened just in time for the 2013/14 season and is positioned opposite O'Sullivans (formally Dick’s Tea Bar) - perfect for a spot of après if you can tear yourself away from this fantastic chalet in Meribel's heart. Our dream and Bernard’s pride and joy. Definitely the place to be seen this season.

Our Executive Chef is passionate about food and hugely sensitive to the appetite of a hungry skier whilst considering a balanced diet. The new and refined 2016/17 menus are heavy enough to reward mountain exertion yet light and simple enough to leave you grinning not groaning.

All our catered ski chalet holidays include: Continental breakfast with a cooked option on 6 mornings; Afternoon tea will be left in the chalet for you to help yourself to freshly made cake or biscuits, bread & jams, selection of teas, coffee and hot chocolate; Canapés on the first and last evening; 3 course evening meal (6 nights) followed by cheese board and coffee; A choice of red and white wine is served throughout dinner.

Bellacima Lodge boasts an enviable location opposite O'Sullivans (formally Dicks Tea Bar), and only five minutes stroll from the centre of Meribel. The pistes at La Chaudanne are just two minutes away by our Merishuttle chauffeur service.
