The group of hamlets of Bellentre includes Montchavin and Les Coches on the left bank of the Isère. Montchavin, in particular, has preserved its Savoyard village character, with chalets clad in wood and stone, a working farm, a chapel and a car-free village centre. Anyone wishing to rent a holiday apartment in Bellentre can plan their personal trip around this destination.
Culture
The Church of Saint-André in Bellentre has an exterior that points to Romanesque origins. In the main altarpiece, the central painting depicts the martyrdom of Saint Andrew; it was created by Pignol in 1716. The pulpit was carved by Joseph-Marie Martel in 1765.
The first historical references to the Notre-Dame-de-la-Compassion Chapel in Bellentre date back to 1634. The Saint Joseph et Saint Pierre Chapel in Gothard is first documented in 1732, while the Notre Dame des Ermites Chapel in Le Crey is first documented in 1773. In Montchavin, the present-day Sainte-Agathe Chapel was built in 1988 on the site of an old mill. The small religious Chapel of Saint-Clair is located in the authentic lanes of Montorlin.
Nature
The 4,000-year-old Lac Noir peat bog is located near Montchavin. Information boards explain its formation and development, as well as some of the flora found there.
Activities
Bellentre lies on the GR5 long-distance hiking trail and maintains its hiking paths for summer tourism. A walking route through Montchavin, a hamlet of Bellentre, passes carved balconies, the Sainte-Agathe Chapel and farm animals.
The Vanoise Express/Chanton snowshoe hike begins in Les Coches or Montchavin. It leads through a larch forest and offers views of the valley, Mont Blanc and the Beaufortain Massif. For cyclists, the Balcons de Tarentaise cycling loop passes through the village of Bellentre via a detour.
