Work has nearly finished on this extremely attractive chalet style building of stone and wood, blending seamlessly with the character and traditional feel of the ski resort of St Martin de Belleville, a pretty mountain village that links directly into the Three Valleys ski domain via an 8 man gondola. This quality development is located next door to the completed and very successful Nant Giraud 2.
This apartment, G1 is 99.11m2 and has three bedrooms. The master suite, with its own balcony, has an ensuite with toilet, basin and full bath. The two other double rooms both have ensuite shower and baisn and share a WC. Both these bedrooms have access on to the main terrace.
There is a spacious living area of 44.47m2 has open fireplace with room for a fitted kitchen, dining area and lounge area around the fire, and from here large balcony doors lead out onto a generous sunny, south west facing terrace of 26.94m2
As a huge bonus you get to choose your interior decor and are taken round the local suppliers to chose flooring, wall and ceiling finish as well as bathroom furniture and kitchen - go as ski rustic or ski chic as you like! The interior photos are samples of the finish in previous apartments sold on this development.
The building is located in a pretty area of St Martin de Belleville where chickens wander about freely. There is a very relaxed and authentic feel to the place. The location is less than a 5 minute walk in normal shoes to the village centre but would take a little longer, perhaps 10 minutes, in ski boots carrying skis, as it’s uphill. However as you have two parking spaces in the spacious garage underneath the building it is easy to drive up to the free parking opposite the gondola which takes you up to link into the Meribel and Courchevel ski areas as well as giving easy access to the rest of the Belleville valley which includes Val Thorens, the highest ski resort in France. In addition to the near ski lifts in St Martin you can drive further up the valley to Les Menuries and Val Thorens if you want a different starting point on odd occasions. Val Thorens is also open from mid Nov to Mid may extending the ski season and providing lucky owners in the Belleville valley with a great excuse to come out for more skiing!
Parking and access: Roads are kept clear all winter and you have your own generous garage space underneath of 19,33m2.
Shared communal space: Pool (game) room, gym. The communal areas have been well finished and include stairways and corridors.
Schedule and delivery: Delivery is scheduled for Dec 2011.
Transfers Nearest international airports: Chambery airport is approx 1.15 hours away with Geneva/Lyon/Grenoble airports all approx 2 hours away. To drive: From the various channel ports it takes approx 9 to 12 hours on the autoroutes to the foot of the mountains. Then the climb up to St Martin takes about 15-20mins, more on transfer days. By train: The Eurostar and snow train arrive in Moutiers station at the foot of the mountains and it 20mins from the apartment.

Based at 1400m and directly linked into the vast Three Valleys network by an 8 person gondola, St Martin de Belleville offers unlimited, world-class skiing. The village is picture perfect, unspoiled and authentic making St Martin de Belleville the perfect ski resort if you are looking for a taste of authentic France combined with state of the art skiing. Clusters of traditional chalets and original Savoyard farmhouses are dominated by the close mountains with chamois and wild boars roaming free in the surrounding forests. St Martin was voted a “Top Ten Picture Postcard resort” for its pretty, traditional architecture and stunning Alpine scenery, it’s interesting to note that the commune have had the foresight to bury all the electric and phone cabling which means that not only does it have a clean uncluttered look, but you are unlikely to lose power when the snow hits! As an added bonus Val Thorens, officially the highest resort in Europe is situated at the top of the valley offering great skiing from mid-November to mid-May. St Martin also has some of the best and clearest runs in the Three Valleys; with skiing for all levels back down to the village and red run Jerusalem a firm favourite with many, and the confidence inspiring off-piste powder fields have to be experienced to be believed. In the height of summer during July and August the valley is host to walkers, nature lovers and adventure seekers who arrive to enjoy the traditional and less traditional mountain activities along with the colourful mountain meadows and beauty of the contrasting vibrant green against snow capped mountains. It is also a near neighbour to the Vanoise Park, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty. St Martin de Belleville has a lower key nightlife than its glitzy neighbours. Having said that, the valley boasts two Michelin starred restaurants, one being situated three minutes from the village, the other in Val Thorens. St Martin itself has several friendly bars and restaurants which retain a mountain village atmosphere with prices to match. It seems ideal for ski and mountain lovers looking for an authentic atmosphere a little apart from the crowds, and out of season it still has life and enough year round residents to stop it feeling like a ghost town.
