About the Resort
About St Martin de Belleville
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.
The Resort
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.
On the Mountain
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.
Les 3 Vallées, Savoie, France
