3 Vallees - Saint-Martin de Belleville (Les Menuires)

The resort

The old stone farming village of Saint-Martin de Belleville is full of character, in complete contrast with neighbouring Les Menuires, a purpose-built resort with a somewhat controversial architecture, and the above-perched snow-sure resort of Val Thorens. ...more


Saint-Martin de Belleville is a lived in, unspoiled charming village with an old church, small square and buildings of wood and stone. It has a quiet location, a chic atmosphere and a good variety of bars and restaurants away from the maddening crowds. Its new 8-person gondola whisks you to the ridge overlooking the valley of Meribel.

 

Why Saint-Martin?

·          Real village life in a chocolate box village

·          Quick access to massive 3 Vallees area

·          A peaceful base

Skiing

Part of the 3 Vallees ski area Saint-Martin de Belleville is an ideal base for quick access to the largest ski area in the world and its 600km of runs.
Taking the new high-speed 8-person gondola from the centre of the village and just one fast quad modern chair lift you can be at the top of the 'Tougnete' ridge less than ¼ of an hour. From there enjoy the amazing panoramic views and decide whether to ski down to Meribel, Mottaret , Les Menuires or Saint-Martin taking the choice of runs best suited to your level. You can then carry on easily towards Val Thorens or Courchevel.
...more


Intermediates will find endless opportunities to explore the whole Three Valleys. Advanced skiers and boarders won’t feel left out with a choice of moguls, steep runs or off-piste in just about every corner of the ski area. The Orelle area above Val Thorens is particularly worth a try. Beginners can start on the nursery slope from the centre of the village (running alongside our featured residence) and then progress on to easy blue runs from the top of ‘Tougnete’ and explore the rest of the Three Valleys.
