St Martin de Belleville
St Martin de Belleville is a true hidden gem in the French alps with it being a quaint traditional village located within the expansive Three Valleys Ski Area. Despite the fame and growth of the Three Valleys over the years, St Martin de Belleville has preserved its timeless, traditional character.
Home to some of the region’s finest restaurants, including one boasting an impressive Two Michelin stars, St Martin de Belleville appeals not only to passionate skiers but also to lovers of fine dining.
The village itself is utterly charming, a picture perfect alpine retreat of wooden chalets, largely car free streets, and distinctive architecture. Visitors can stroll between inviting cafés, bask in the sunshine, and admire the stunning mountain vistas that surround the village.
It takes just one glance at a photograph of St Martin De Belleville to understand why so many winter ski brochures now include summer sections showcasing the resort’s wide array of activities and attractions.
Though several airports, Geneva, Chambery, and Lyon, are within easy reach, St Martin De Belleville remains refreshingly uncrowded. Many guests describe it as “off the beaten track,” a place that offers all the beauty and amenities of the larger resorts without the bustle.
Far from being remote though, guests staying in St Martin de Belleville have direct access to over 600 km of pistes, including many suitable for beginners and even more for intermediate skiers.
St Martin De Belleville is the ideal choice for a relaxed family ski holiday or a romantic couples getaway, where visitors gather in its cosy cafés, chatting over coffee before setting out to enjoy the area’s sweeping, scenic runs through pristine powder overlooking the valley below.
