food
Food is at the heart of the Maison Bouvier experience. The hotel’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Ursus, offers an extraordinary dining journey, where locally foraged ingredients and inventive techniques create dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
Le Whitney Bar is the perfect spot for an après-ski cocktail or a glass of fine wine by the fire, accompanied by artisanal charcuterie and cheese boards.
For more casual dining, La Table de Jeanne serves up Savoyard classics like tartiflette, raclette and hearty mountain fare, in a relaxed, convivial atmosphere.
activities
This is a hotel designed for lovers of the mountains and all they have to offer. With the slopes of Tignes-Val d’Isère on your doorstep, ski days are effortless – whether you’re here for powder runs, groomed pistes, or scenic mountain strolls.
After a day in the snow, retreat to the wellness area for a swim in the heated pool, a steam in the hammam, or a relaxing treatment.
There are also wine tastings, cooking workshops, and culinary experiences curated by the Bouvier family, designed to bring guests closer to the flavours of the Alps.
family
Maison Bouvier is a wonderful choice for families who want to combine mountain adventures with a warm, home-from-home atmosphere. The suites offer ample space, and the team is on hand to ensure little ones are well looked after, from child-friendly menus to organising family-friendly mountain excursions.
sustainability
With a deep respect for its alpine environment, Maison Bouvier champions local sourcing, seasonal produce, and a commitment to low-impact hospitality. Much of the restaurant’s ingredients are foraged or sourced from nearby farms, and the hotel continuously works to reduce its environmental footprint through thoughtful energy and waste management.
additional
While renowned for its winter ski season, Maison Bouvier is also the perfect base for summer adventures in the high Alps. With the snow melted, the landscapes transform into a playground of hiking and mountain biking trails, from gentle valley paths to high alpine routes.
Keen cyclists can take on the legendary Col de l’Iseran, one of the most iconic climbs of the Tour de France. There’s also trail running, via ferrata, rock climbing, and paragliding for those in search of adrenaline.
For something slower, spend the day paddleboarding on Tignes’ glacial lake, enjoy an alpine picnic surrounded by wildflowers, or join a guided foraging walk to discover the region’s edible flora. Golf, horse riding, and wellness retreats also feature during the sun-drenched summer months, making Maison Bouvier a serene and invigorating summer escape.
