Chalet Orkids sits in La Villette, at the entrance to St Martin de Belleville, with the snow front under 300 metres from the front door — roughly a six-minute walk. The St Martin drag lift and children's nursery slopes are at that same snow front, with the gondola and ski school meeting point at the top. For those who prefer not to walk, a free ski bus stops directly opposite the chalet. The village centre is five minutes on foot, putting local restaurants, bars, and shops within easy reach for lunch breaks or evenings out. The combination of walkable slopes, a bus connection, and a central village location makes this particularly practical for mixed groups where not everyone is on skis all day.

Authentic Savoyard charm seamlessly connected to the world's largest ski area.
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.
A high-altitude peak in the neighboring Les Menuires sector, known for steep challenging reds, blacks, and excellent north-facing snow retention.
The main connecting peak above the village, providing long, sweeping descents into both the Val Thorens and Meribel valleys.
A designated, ungroomed safe zone that allows skiers and snowboarders to practice their powder turns in a controlled mountain environment.
