Each chalet is staffed with a fine dining chef, trained & experienced to 1* Michelin standards, a professional host, chauffeur & chalet manager.
The Alpine Club, now in our 12th year, is a private owner managed company. We are a family run business with a passion for building unique mountain homes & creating unforgettable holiday experiences in St Martin de Belleville - the jewel of the 3 valleys.
We have a reputation for tailored service, imaginative fine dining food and professional, friendly staff. Each year, nearly 50% of our guests return because of our genuine care, warmth & professionalism.
Our 3 chalets sleep a maximum of 10 guests (most weeks of the season only 6 - 8 guests), which enables you the time to genuinely provide a tailored, memorable experience to each & every guest. Our chalets are located in Villarabout, which is a small hamlet 4 minutes drive or 12 minutes walk to the lift & village centre of St Martin de Belleville.
