L’Ours Polaire: a cosy retreat facing Mont Blanc
Just five minutes by car from the center of Saint-Gervais and the ski lifts, L’Ours Polaire welcomes you into a true mountain cocoon where comfort, warmth, and conviviality blend seamlessly with exceptional views of Mont Blanc. Nestled at an altitude of 1,000 meters, this independent garden-level apartment, part of a fully renovated 1860 farmhouse, offers 90 m² of thoughtfully redesigned living space by an interior architect.
A soft, intimate atmosphere, natural materials, soothing tones, and gentle lighting have all been carefully chosen so that families and groups of friends immediately feel “at home,” while enjoying a peaceful and harmonious mountain setting.
The living area
The spacious living area is designed for shared moments:
• a comfortable lounge with soft lines, perfect for unwinding after a day in the mountains,
• a large family dining table for 8, ideal for lingering meals,
• a fully equipped open-plan kitchen that is both functional and welcoming.
Natural materials and warm colors create a cocooning ambiance, perfect for lively conversations, board games, or movie nights.
The two master bedrooms
Each of the two master bedrooms offers a warm, restful atmosphere, perfectly suited for couples or friends traveling together.
Both are equipped with:
• a double bed (160×200) with a high-quality mattress ensuring optimal comfort,
• built-in storage,
• soft, ambient lighting,
• a connected TV.
One of the bedrooms also features a modern private shower room.
Soft textures, subdued lighting, and harmonious colors create a calming environment in each room, ideal for restful nights.
The dormitory: designed for both children and adults
The dormitory has been conceived as a truly separate space, both warm and playful.
It offers:
• 4 single beds (90×200), suitable for both children and adults,
• high-quality mattresses ensuring optimal comfort,
• individual reading lights and power outlets for each bed,
• a carefully designed layout where each bed forms a small cabin—a cosy refuge that delights children and provides adults with a private, snug space.
A welcoming and safe place where everyone naturally finds their place, between playtime, relaxation, and restful sleep.
Bathrooms and toilets
The chalet includes two modern bathrooms, each featuring a very spacious walk-in shower.
Elegant finishes and practical layouts make group stays easy, while two separate toilets add appreciated comfort for large families or stays with friends.
Outdoor spaces
The private 80 m² terrace is a privileged spot to enjoy the view.
It features outdoor lounge furniture, sun loungers, a shaded dining area, and a barbecue.
The large, tree-lined garden, secured for children, includes a trampoline and a swing set.
An ideal setting to gently enjoy the simple pleasures of the mountains, from outdoor breakfasts to aperitifs facing the peaks.
