The landscape at Notre-Dame de Bellecombe consists of
spruce forests, alpine chalets set on mountain
pastures, and snow capped peaks. Notre-Dame de
Bellecombe 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 at Notre-Dame de
Bellecombe 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.
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.
