St Martin de Belleville occupies the lower end of the Belleville Valley, sitting below the better-known resorts of Les Menuires and Val Thorens but sharing the same vast Three Valleys ski network. The village has retained much of its original character, with a genuine local community, a handful of traditional restaurants, and a weekly market. Lift access connects directly into 600 kilometres of pistes, making it straightforward to ski across to Méribel and Courchevel within a single day. The village centre is compact and walkable, with ski hire, grocery options, and après-ski bars all within easy reach. For groups arriving by air, Chambéry and Geneva are the most practical gateway airports, with private transfers included in this listing package.

St Martin de Belleville is a rare gem in the French Alps: a traditional, authentic Savoyard village that offers direct lift access to the massive Les 3 Vallées ski area. Unlike the purpose-built resorts higher up the valley, St Martin has retained its original farming-village character, complete with a beautiful 16th-century church, narrow winding streets, and classic wood-and-stone chalets. Despite its peaceful, understated atmosphere, skiers are whisked effortlessly into the heart of the 600km interconnected ski area via an efficient eight-person gondola and a fast six-seater chairlift. The local slopes offer long, rolling descents back to the village, making it a perfect base for those who want world-class skiing by day and quiet, rustic charm by night. The resort has also built a formidable reputation as a gastronomic destination. From traditional rustic mountain eateries in converted haylofts to world-class Michelin-starred dining, St Martin de Belleville pairs expansive alpine adventure with refined culinary excellence.
The local Belleville valley provides a fantastic array of wide, cruising blue and red pistes that gently wind down to the village through picturesque alpine pastures. From the top of the local lifts, skiers have immediate access to the endless interconnected slopes of Meribel, Courchevel, and Val Thorens. The overall terrain variety is unparalleled, ranging from sheltered tree-lined runs near the village to high-alpine glaciers and steep bowls further afield.
The world's largest interconnected ski area, offering 600km of pristine slopes and state-of-the-art lift infrastructure spread across three spectacular valleys.
A famous rolling red run that follows the natural ridge line down towards St Martin, offering stunning views and incredibly playful terrain.
