Welcome to Mountain Action

Your Hosts Griff & Emma

We created Mountain Action for people like us, people that dream of spending days carving perfect turns in perfect snow and nights talking and laughing with friends over dinner or just simply relaxing around the fire. You will find Chalet Chardon Bleu, situated in a small hamlet just a few minutes drive from St Martin de Belleville in the heart of the famous 3 valleys "Les Trois Vallees".

Les Trois Vallees is the biggest ski area in the world, with over 600km of pisted skiing and the same again, off-piste.

The area is ideal for ski lovers looking for an authentic village atmosphere a little apart from the crowds. Clusters of traditional chalets and original Savoyard farmhouses stand quietly in the softly falling snow where chamois can be seen in the surrounding forest.

A Typical Day

Each day will start with a hearty breakfast - a chance to stock up before hitting the slopes!
During the day, you are welcome to ski / board with us – we will guide you to the best runs - both on and off piste (skiing will be pitched at your ability level), find the best snow and help you make the most of this magnificent ski area. Alternatively, you may choose to ski with friends or attend ski school lessons – all of which can be booked locally.

We also offer private tuition for individuals or small groups when we are not guiding. We often all meet up at the end of the day in the Piano Bar for a well deserved cold beer before heading back to the chalet for freshly brewed tea, coffee or hot chocolate and home made cakes.Then there’s time to relax and unwind before dinner – the main event of the evening.

With a table large enough to seat everybody, many happy hours are spent re-living and reminiscing over the events of the day whilst enjoying a superbly cooked three course meal with plenty of good quality local wine. (Full details and a sample menu are available by clicking Chalet Chardon Bleu, on the main menu.)

After dinner, if you have any energy left, there are the local bars in Saint Martin de Belleville but most choose the comfort of a squashy sofa in front of the fire with a nightcap!
