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.
