Groupe BASE CAMP LODGE

What Groupe BASE CAMP LODGE does

Groupe Base Camp Lodge is a privately held French hospitality group operating a portfolio of hotels, restaurants, and bars in the French Alps (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region). Founded in 2019 by Chalet des Neiges (a 1998-established builder-operator of 4 and 5-star tourism residences) and Restoleil (a family-run group managing 60 F&B establishments and 4-star campings with 420+ collaborators and over 1 million meals served annually), the company is led by co-founders Thierry Schoenauer and Michel Porcel. The group currently operates four properties — Base Camp Lodge Bourg-Saint-Maurice (2019), Base Camp Lodge Les Deux Alpes (2021), Base Camp Lodge Albertville (opened October 2, 2024), and the L'Arpette restaurant bar at Les Arcs — with a fifth establishment planned at La Féclaz for 2026.

The core offering combines alpine-style accommodations ranging from budget dormitories and capsules to doubles, family rooms, and premium suites, alongside on-site restaurants serving locally-sourced seasonal cuisine, festive bar atmospheres, and residential seminar facilities for corporate clients. The group's stated positioning sits "at the intersection of traditional hospitality and collective auberges," targeting a hybrid customer base of leisure travelers, families, sports enthusiasts, and corporate seminar groups. Revenue is generated through three streams: hotel accommodations (transactional per-stay bookings), food and beverage (on-site restaurants and bars), and seminar/event services for small and large professional gatherings.

The business model is direct-to-consumer, with bookings handled via the corporate website and an integrated third-party booking widget; pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by property and room type. The company has no disclosed proprietary technology, no AI/ML capabilities, and no public funding history. It is registered in France (SIREN 833225774, APE 5510Z) with stated registered capital of €8,688,880 and a stated headcount of 32, operating alongside the broader Restoleil ecosystem of 420+ collaborators across 60 establishments. Geographic reach is currently single-country (France), focused on the Savoie and Isère departments of the French Alps.
