Saint Martin de Belleville is described as ‘the gateway to The Three Vallées’ in France. Despite this somewhat grandiose title it remains a charmingly sleepy town, steeped in tradition and oozing authenticity. As a consequence, Saint Martin has become a popular destination for those wanting to experience The Three Vallées in a more tranquil manner, away from the hubbub of neighbouring Val Thorens.

Nestled amongst the wood clad farms, narrow streets and barns are nine chalets owned by White Mountain Chalets and The Alpine Club and the two companies recently amalgamated to create a diverse portfolio of luxury retreats.

In these chalets you will be treated to five-star service, in-house nannies and meals cooked by professionally trained private chefs. The latter is a matter of particular pride for the two companies given that Saint Martin as a resort is renowned for its gastronomic excellence.

Both The Alpine Club and White Mountain Chalets are firmly in favour of wellness, rejuvenation and relaxation. Whether you prefer a chalet that boasts historical architecture, alpine chic, spa facilities, saunas or hot tubs- these two companies say they’ve got the lot.

Prices start at £800 per person, based on a seven-night exclusive use booking. Reservations can be made via: www.whitemountain-chalets.com & www.thealpineclub.co.uk
