Chalet Moor | 5-Bedroom Chalet with Spa in Les Belleville

Twelve guests arriving at the foot of the French Alps will find Chalet Moor waiting in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, the heart of the Three Valleys ski region. This five-bedroom mountain residence combines the timber warmth of traditional Savoyard architecture with contemporary comfort, positioned within walking distance of restaurants and village life while offering direct slope access that serious skiers demand. The village itself—unspoiled, sociable, and genuinely oriented toward winter sports—sits at 1,450 metres elevation, making it one of the highest inhabited settlements in the Three Valleys.

Inside Chalet Moor

Chalet Moor sleeps 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, spread across three distinct levels. Ground floor living centres on an expansive open-plan space where a working fireplace anchors the living and dining zones—this is where you’ll gather after carving through powder, boots still damp, swapping stories as flames crackle in the hearth. The adjoining kitchen runs the full width of this floor, equipped with an induction hob, dishwasher, fondue appliance (essential for those fondue-heavy evenings), and generous refrigeration. A separate toilet at ground level serves guests before they reach the stairs.

The first floor holds four of the five bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is a double with fitted wardrobe, television, and an en-suite shower room. The master bedroom—Bedroom 2—commands the primary position with a double bed, full en-suite bathroom featuring both tub and shower, dressing area, television, and a private balcony oriented toward the surrounding peaks. Bedroom 3 sleeps four children or teenagers across two sets of bunk beds, with its own shower en-suite. A lounge with television offers additional seating if groups want to divide for movies or quieter moments.

The second floor houses Bedroom 4 and Bedroom 5, both doubles with en-suite bathrooms (Bedroom 4 with shower only, Bedroom 5 with both tub and shower), plus a dedicated sauna and relaxation area—the kind of wellness space that transforms a week-long rental from pleasant to genuinely restorative. A laundry room on this level proves invaluable for large groups managing multiple ski outings daily. Outside, a heated ski room keeps boots and boards safe and ready, while the internal garage provides secure parking. The furnished terrace spans the chalet’s front, ideal for morning coffee before heading to the slopes or evening aperitifs as light drains from the mountains.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terrace is where Chalet Moor reveals its setting. Furnished with seating and dining capacity for groups, this space catches southern and western light, offering views across the valley toward Meribel and the wider Three Valleys terrain. The furnished balcony attached to the master bedroom provides a private vantage point—the kind of spot where you linger with morning coffee, watching skiers traverse the slopes below. A heated ski room with boot heater ensures equipment dries and remains ready between days. The internal garage removes the friction of parking in village snow, and the lobby creates a formal transition from mountain air to interior warmth.

Location: Les Belleville and the Surrounding Area

Saint-Martin-de-Belleville sits at the heart of the Three Valleys—the world’s largest linked ski area with 600 kilometres of groomed runs. The village itself occupies a position between Meribel (7 kilometres to the northwest) and Val Thorens (12 kilometres to the southeast), giving Chalet Moor strategic proximity to all three major resorts without the corporate atmosphere of larger towns. The immediate village contains six restaurants ranging from casual crêperies serving Savoyard specialities—fondue, raclette, tartiflette—to more refined establishments like La Bouitte, a Michelin-starred property 3 kilometres away in nearby Saint-Martin-de-Belleville.

The Three Valleys ski area itself spans from Courchevel in the north to Meribel-Mottaret in the south, with terrain suitable for beginner skiers through to mogul specialists and off-piste adventurers. Lift-served skiing begins within a five-minute walk from most village properties. For non-skiers, the village supports snowshoe trails into the Vanoise National Park (15 kilometres northeast), dog sledding operators based in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville itself, and a growing network of winter walking routes. Summer transforms the area entirely: mountain biking trails link the three valleys, hiking routes ascend to the Pic de la Chèvre (2,341 metres) above Meribel, and the Belleville Valley opens for wildflower walks and alpine exploration.

Access routes place Chalet Moor approximately 80 kilometres from Chambery Airport (90 minutes by car), 170 kilometres from Geneva Airport (2.5 hours), and 140 kilometres from Lyon Airport (2 hours). The village benefits from seasonal events including the World Cup skiing finals held each March in nearby Meribel, plus winter festivals throughout January and February. Best arrival periods are December through February for guaranteed snow, and July-August for hiking and mountain biking.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Chalet Moor functions ideally for groups of 8-12 friends or extended families seeking coordinated ski holidays without shared accommodation anxiety. The five separate bedrooms and five bathrooms eliminate bathroom bottlenecks—a genuine quality-of-life factor for groups. Families with children aged 4-16 appreciate the bunk beds in Bedroom 3, the proximity to gentle learner slopes, and the sauna as a post-ski decompression space. Multigenerational groups benefit from the master bedroom’s privacy and the ground-floor layout that allows less mobile guests to avoid multiple staircases. Couples celebrating landmark anniversaries can book the entire chalet or negotiate specific bedroom rental with the agency. Groups mixing skiers and non-skiers work well here: skiers access slopes within minutes while others pursue snowshoe walks, spa treatments at nearby Meribel wellness centres (8 kilometres away), or village exploration. Corporate retreat groups of 10-12 find the sauna, communal fireplace, and village restaurant access conducive to team bonding without the impersonality of hotels.
