As summer 2026 approaches, the Belleville valley is renewing its offering with several openings and developments. Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and to Menuires, restaurants, accommodation, and activities related to local produce are adapting to an increase in summer visitors.
Since this winter, the Cime Caron has opened for the first time in the summer season. Located at an altitude of 3,200 metres, the site is now accessible to pedestrians via the cable car. The completely redeveloped building offers a rest area with a panoramic restaurant and terrace.
On site, the view extends over a large part of the Alpine arc. The location is also intended as a stopping point for day visitors who are not participating in sports. The development also includes a bar and adaptable spaces for various audiences.

In Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, the hotel restaurant Saint Martin is launching its first summer season. La table du Grenier offers cuisine rooted in mountain produce, in a setting at the foot of the slopes and close to the cable car. The terrace becomes a popular observation point during the day.
The advertised prices remain close to those charged in the low season, with rooms available from 85 euros per night and a dining option starting around 16 euros.
A local anchor for agricultural practices
Further down the valley, a new activity is taking shape around Gaëlle's farm, which recently opened in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville. The farm is opening its doors to the public, offering tours of milking and cheese-making.
Every day, nearly 50 litres of milk are processed on-site. Visitors can follow the daily work with the goats, from the alpine pasture to the processing. Tours are available on request or during dedicated times on weekdays.
