Have you been to St Martin de Belleville?

 

Sunbathing in Les Trois Vallees

St Martin de Belleville is a bit of a hidden gem, even though it’s right in the middle of the famous Trois Vallees ski area.  The village is wonderfully picturesque and full of  Alpine charm meaning you can really get the best of both worlds here by staying in a pretty, unspoilt resort with the biggest linked ski area in the world on your doorstep.

SPECIAL OFFER!

La Ferme de Belleville – a beautiful, 400 year old, Savoyard farmhouse, is available from Sunday 8th – Sunday 15th January for just £655 per person (a saving of £200) including a champagne reception on arrival, dedicated concierge and fantastic full catering.

Chalet Abode – another wonderful chalet in St Martin de Belleville, is available a week later from Sunday 15th – Sunday 22nd January for £895 per person (again, a saving  of £200). This also includes all the services on offer at La Ferme.

Pre Christmas Get Away.

With all of the snow that has fallen over the last week and with a lot of snow forecast for all of this week, why not head out to the Alps to enjoy the perfect Pre-Xmas Xmas celebration.

Luxury chalet, Marmotte Mountain Azimuth, in Chamonix Valley has availability from Friday the 16th of December until Friday the 23rd of December – dates are designed for people who finish work this Friday the 16th of December who would like to go for a pre Xmas ski but be back at home in plenty of time for Xmas. These dates are also designed for people to be here ready to go for the 1st day of the full opening of the Chamonix Valley lift system – it will be electric atmosphere and even better snow conditions!

 

Don’t believe us about the amount of snow that’s fallen in the last week? Look at this photo!

This photo was taken at Eagle’s Nest in Val d’Isere this week by PeterMoho who posted it on Twitter.  There’s so much snow, the van couldn’t even get into the driveway!

What a great way to start the season!

Zermatt Snow Update

Live from Georgie,  Asher and Jen in Zermatt……we enjoyed a great days skiing last week on the Italian side with runs down to Plan Maison and Cime Bianche, and Trockener Steg on the Zermatt side. Over the weekend the Gornergrat area in Zermatt opened up, and we are now able to enjoy over 80kms of groomed pistes, with more snow forecast for later in the week!

Richard Alleman from Vogue considers Chalet Brames as one of his top two retreats!

…one of the poshest private villas in the Alps, has just emerged from a total renovation in time for this year’s snow season. Sleeping up to fourteen persons, this striking and tastefully furnished wood, glass, and stone chalet comes with a staff of six, including a chef, plus its own private spa, which will be much appreciated after a day of hitting the slopes at Les Trois Vallées, one of the world’s largest ski areas.

The snow has already arrived in Zermatt and the seasons skiing is well under way. The resort has already opened quite a few of their slopes for people seeking an early pre-Christmas break.

Up to now, 117 kilometres of pistes have been open in the resort. Namely in the Matterhorn glacier paradise area: Trockener Steg (2939 m) to the Matterhorn glacier paradise (Klein Matterhorn, 3883 m), equal to 900 height metres. The pistes also extend as far as Plan Maison (2561 m) and Valtournenche (1524 m) in Italy. Last weekend, Zermatt also added the snowsport region on the Gornergrat.
