Saint-Jean-de-Belleville

Nature and Authenticity

It is the gateway to the Belleville Valley. Saint-Jean-de-Belleville (1140 m) is only a few minutes from the ski resorts of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville (5 minutes) and Les Menuires (10 minutes).

In this wild and quiet valley, there are some real “gems” throughout that bear witness to to the location’s unspoilt rural heritage. A must-see is the hamlet of Deux-Nants or the mountain pasture of La Sauce where herds of Tarines graze in summer. You will discover there typical chalets nicely decorated with flowers, small chapels, streams… At the Combes mountain pasture, a 20-minute walk from La Sauce, Beaufort cheese is made and sold on site.

If you are looking for a refuge to eat or simply to take a gourmet break, Emmanuel welcomes you and treats you to the Plan Lombardie refuge, only 30 minutes’ walk from La Sauce. Stay alert, you will certainly see marmots, they are numerous in this area.
