St Martin de Belleville
St Martin de Belleville, a small village in the very large 3 Valleys ski area, has managed to maintain its French character despite the arrival of chairlifts in the 1980s. St Martin is now a quiet, classy ski resort and a convenient gateway (2 hours' drive from the airport) to the 3 Valleys.
St Martin de Belleville (1,450m) is a charming and relatively quiet resort village with some lovely mountain restaurants offering traditional Savoyard fare and a few stylish bars and restaurants offering relaxed apres-ski and good dining in the village. Getting to St Martin de Belleville is easy via the four nearest airports which are within a 2-hour drive from the resort and transfers from the airport are easily pre-booked online.
The resort offers easy access to the whole of the Three Valleys ski area so there’s a vast amount of great skiing for all abilities from beginner to expert including challenging black runs and a local freeride zone. Resort services and options include a choice of two lift passes – a local pass or the full Three Valleys lift pass which also covers Val Thorens, Meribel, and Courchevel. The full 3 Valleys lift pass is not cheap, but it’s good value if you consider how many lifts (about 160) are included.
The resort offers a choice of independent ski schools as well as the dominant ESF ski school and several ski shops for ski rental. Ultimate Ski partners CheckYeti for ski lessons and ALPINRESORTS for ski hire, make it easy to compare prices and offer discounts if you pre-book online.
The choice of accommodation ranges from family-owned 3-star Edelweiss to the 5-star La Bouitte hotel with a Michelin-starred restaurant in the hamlet of St Marcel. Also, the 5-star Hotel M Lodge and good 4-star hotels such as the 4-star Lodji Hotel & Résidence and the 4-star Hotel St Martin.
