With its alpine chalets and views of Mont Blanc, Hauteluce is one of the most beautiful and most preserved villages of the French Alps. Not only is the Hauteluce valley extremely picturesque, but also offers access to two great ski areas.

The experienced skiers in your group will find their happy between the Contamines Montjoie ski area (which is accessed from Belleville) and the Espace Diamant ski areas (from Hauteluce). The Hauteluce-Les Contamines-Montjoie ski area is easily accessed from the nearby La Ruelle gondola in Belleville (just a short bus ride from the accommodation).
