This is the 4th year we’ve used Le Belmont and yet again we were not disappointed!! We booked a 2 bedroom this time and had plenty of space in the apartment with lots of storage space for 4. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There’s a ski rental shop and parking on site. If parking is full there is a covered garage just a short distance away. The boot room opens straight onto a slope that takes you directly to the Transarc gondola. You can also ski back into the apartments.Excellent location to slopes and also just a 5 minute walk to the shops and bars. Reception and recreational space on first floor with nice high end feel. Nespresso capsules and bakery items are available . from reception along with games and sledges to borrow. A cleaning pack is provided in the kitchen with cloths, washing up liquid and 7 dishwasher tablets which is a nice touch! Staff were very helpful as always!! Will be back.

“Perfect location! Just what we needed in the apartment”

We’ve had a lovely stay here and will come again!! The best part is the location. If you are able to ski there is never a time when you have to walk anywhere in your ski boots.

We’ve had a lovely stay here and will come again!! The best part is the location. If you are able to ski there is never a time when you have to walk anywhere in your ski boots. The locker room opens onto the blue piste. It got a bit icy some days but perfectly skiable for anybody that’s not a complete beginner. If you are a beginner skier the lifts and ski school are a 5 min walk down the hill. You can’t get much closer!! The ski area is brilliant!! We chose 2 bed apartment that sleeps 6. We had 2 adults in the double bedroom and our 11 and 13 year old in the twin room. We kept the sofa bed clear to give more space. The apartment was a good size for us. The kitchen was very basic. There was a combi microwave oven but we couldn’t work out how to use the oven part so all we did was used the hob and microwave for food. We were surprised to have to put our own sheets (sheets provided by the hotel) on our beds but have never stayed in self catering in France so presume this is normal. Also bring your own loo rolls, they gave us two for the week and you are meant to buy more!! The shop is very expensive so bring what you can from uk. I’d say the best value food is pizza takeaway. There’s a bakery very close (in Aguille grives) where you can go each day for croissants and fresh bread. Reception are very helpful and happy to offer advice. You can also borrow sledges from reception. Also a tip if you are driving from the uk- sat nav may try to take you across a piste!! Do not turn off (right) towards Landry, keep going towards Bourg Saint Maurice. Follow signs right into Bourg saint maurice and from there follow signs to les arcs and then to arc 1800! We trusted sat nav and turned towards Landry then followed the mountain all the way up to Peisey Vallandry where the sat nav tried to make us drive along a piste. (I presume it’s a mountain road in the summer). We had to go all the way back down and through Bourg and back up the other side which added an hour onto our journey. Overall a great stay. We would love to come again next year. The photo of skiers. Is standing on the piste just outside the boot room. The gondolas are just at the bottom of the hill. Other photos are the view from our room

“Overall warm and comfortable”

We (5 friends) stayed in the "Standard two bedroom apartment 5/6" accommodation. Our room number was 714. This room had two spacious bedrooms, one with a twin and one with a king sized bed.

We (5 friends) stayed in the "Standard two bedroom apartment 5/6" accommodation. Our room number was 714. This room had two spacious bedrooms, one with a twin and one with a king sized bed. Both rooms had a wardrobe and a radiator. One of the bathrooms had a sink, shower and toilet while the other bathroom had a bath/shower and a sink with a separate room for the toilet. Both bathrooms were of adequate size and both had radiators for your towels/any wet ski clothing. The living area and kitchen space were also adequately sized for the 5 of us. 6 would've also been fine. The utilities were all fine and working. Hob was good and the pans provided were also fine. No complaints in the kitchen. The living area/lounge was used as a bed but this room also had a radiator so the person sleeping in here won't be cold. The sofa acts as a bed and there was also another sofa bed style mattress under the sofa that could've been pulled out. All beds were extremely comfortable and way above what you'd expect when going on holiday. I was personally very very impressed by the mattresses. The pillows, unfortunately, were much to be desired. Overly soft and square and made it difficult to get comfy. If you like a harder pillow then you're out of luck here. Accommodation was plenty warm due to the self controlled radiators and all of our clothes were always dry the next day thanks to this. There are 3 elevators to access the upper floors so there should be less chance of ever having to walk to your floor in the case of a broken elevator. They have free, heated ski storage lockers that you unlock with your room key on the ground floor. This is accessible from the reception, outside the front door and a backdoor onto a slope. The slope entrance is the "ski-in, ski-out" feature of this accommodation. This access will become obvious after your first day skiing but is hard to explain in text - You take a slightly different route on a blue to get back. Starting the day you just ski down to the Transarc lift. The way in and out are not hard runs but first time skiers would likely rather walk down for the first day. Receptionists spoke well enough English and were very helpful and polite with any of our questions. We arrived at the main bus station of Les Arcs 1800 and got a free shuttle bus to "Les Vilards" which is the closest (and last) bus stop which drops you quite close to the accommodation. It is all uphill though. This higher area also made the walk to the main food areas a bit more taxing after a day skiing. Multiple sets of stairs and slippery downhills was of slight inconvenience. Negatives; We had a blocked drain in one of our showers that had quite a bad smell for most of the week. We did tell reception and someone came twice to "fix" the problem but not to much effect. The water pressure was also extremely poor in the bath/shower which made washing in this room difficult. The accommodation unfortunately had some hot water problems half way through the week. They did address this issue and a "fix" was given to "run your water for 15 minutes and hot water will come" which did work but having to just waste water for literally 15 minutes to have a shower did start to be annoying. The ski storage rooms were quite narrow and was a one-way design so everyone is walking past you to get out. We were early most days so missed any rush but I can imagine this being frustrating and sweaty first thing in the morning if you're having to wait for others to get out of the way of your locker. As I said above, the lockers were heated which is great!
