Ski-in/ski-out

Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe is a traditional village with lifts at one end; hotels are in town and a few residences sit right on the snow-front.

Get to know the resort

Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe spreads along a sunny shelf above the Val d'Arly, a quiet traditional village with classic Savoyard wooden chalets and a working farming community. Its slopes are part of the 192 km Espace Diamant, linked through with Les Saisies, Crest-Voland, Flumet and Praz-sur-Arly, mostly gentle and tree-lined, ideal for families and intermediates. Just down the road from chic Megève, it offers similarly grand Mont Blanc views at a fraction of the price.

Good to know

  • The terrain is well balanced: 12 green, 25 blue, 24 red and 5 black runs, which suits a mixed group skiing together at different levels.
  • From 1100 m at the base to 1980 m up top, the resort leans on grooming and snowmaking in lean spells (score 75/100).
  • At 192 km of piste on 80 lifts, it is a substantial mountain that earns a multi-day stay.
  • The lifts typically turn for about 16 weeks a season, planning around late January to late February tends to land the most reliable cover.
