Les Barmes de l'Ours

From the outside it reads as classic Alpine lodge; inside, each floor commits to a different design world, Scandinavian, North American, Alpine, and urban-contemporary, so the hotel never quite settles into a single mood. A ski shop, spa, fitness center, and a two-lane bowling alley round things out for when the mountain gets old. Les Barmes de l'Ours holds a Michelin Key. Val d'Isere is not a budget destination, and this place leans into that fully.
