The landscape in Notre-Dame de Bellecombe consists of
spruce forests, alpine chalets set on mountain
pastures, and snow capped peaks. It is easy to get
to, from the south via Alberville or from the north
via Sallanches – both 25 km from the motorway
exits, or by TGV and connecting buses.
Words do not do justice to the village of Notre-Dame
de Bellecombe, with its Baroque steeple as a centre
piece and traditional wooden chalets spreading over
11 hamlets. The long sunny days are filled with
traditional trade exhibitions and wine festivals as
well as walks through the stunning scenery with
fascinating wildlife and beautiful flowers. A local
market is held every Monday morning in Notre-Dame de
Bellecombe
The town of Notre-Dame de Bellecombe and its charming
inhabitants offer many facilities, including a theme
park to learn more about life in the mountains,
archery, childrens play parks, horse and pony riding,
tennis, Street Hockey, Basket ball, Badminton,
Volleyball, Mini golf and, of course, many delightful
restaurants and bars.
Golfers can enjoy the diversity of 3 golf courses in
the surrounding area, a 5 hole training course with
driving range and putting green, and an open air
driving range with instructors available. There are
16 marked footpaths and 27 mountain bike trails with
varying levels of difficulty. The Lac chairlift opens
twice a week for walkers and mountain bikes to get
closer to the fabulous views of Mont Blanc.
