Chauffeur's tipVillage lanes are narrow and some chalets lie in hamlets such as Villarabout or Saint-Marcel; give the exact name so your chauffeur takes the right turn off the valley road.
The route from Geneva Airport to Saint-Martin-de-Belleville
Your chauffeur crosses into France and takes the A41 via Annecy and Chambéry, then the A43 and A430 to Albertville. The N90 dual carriageway climbs the Tarentaise valley to Moûtiers, where the driver turns south into the Belleville valley. A winding but well-maintained road leads up through small hamlets to Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, the first resort village of the valley.
Arriving in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville
The old village clusters around its church, with newer chalets built in the traditional style on the slopes around it. Your driver drops you at the door of your chalet or hotel where the lanes allow, or at the nearest point in the centre. From the village, lifts climb towards Méribel and Les Menuires, giving direct access to the Three Valleys, and Val Thorens sits at the head of the same valley.
Practical advice for your transfer
