The Region
Picturesque St Martin de Belleville is the gateway to the
Trois Vallées ski system, and what you might call the quiet little brother of the famous ski family. Not much goes on at this resort except for high-quality snow sports, and that’s just the way we like it.
St Martin remains an old Savoyard village with a majestic church tower at its centre and more locals than tourists. Its charm lies in small-scale excellence and a well-kept sense that you are not staying at a ski resort but in an old alpine community. Life here is slow-paced, relaxed and quintessentially French.
This family resort is excellent for beginner and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. Across the 78 slopes, the best runs are long, rolling, and just the right degree of challenging. In the winters you are pretty much guaranteed good snow coverage due to the close proximity to Val Thorens, but because of the relatively low altitude of St Martin village, you might want to rethink a late-season even though pistes stay open until April.
Sailing down the slopes of St Martin de Belleville you’ll get familiar with some seriously attractive views and gorgeous wooded landscapes. Overall there are 1448 metres of downhill skiing available and on top of that you can, of course, gain access to the rest of the Three Valleys system.
While St Martin is not known for its après-ski scene, there has been significant development in the area and there are lots more locations where you can dance until the sun sets and into the night. For serious après-skiers, then you’re better off staying in neighbouring
Méribel. As the village is known for its gourmet cuisine, why not spend the evening at one of the many top-notch restaurants including the Michelin starred
La Bouitte &
Simple et Meilleur. Although it is a small town, there is a lot of variety when it comes to food.
