St Martin de Belleville Ski Holidays
France
"St Martin is a typical Savoyard village located in the 3 Valleys ski area. Very little can beat the 'Jérusalem' run at the end of the day, stopping for a beer or vin chaud on the way down. One holiday here and you will be hooked!"
St Martin de Belleville Ski Holidays
One of the best kept secrets of the Alps, St Martin de Belleville is a welcome contrast to the purpose-built resorts of Les Menuires and Val Thorens further up the valley. The pretty village offers a good range of shops, bars and restaurants to meet your needs with prices that are lower than its better known neighbours.
Skiing in St Martin de Belleville
St Martin de Belleville has skiing to suit all levels. For beginner skiers there is a nursery slope in the centre of the resort and blue runs descending back into the village.
Intermediate and advanced skiers have easy access to the whole of the Three Valleys area, though there are some fantastic blue and red runs in the Belleville valley alone. Experts should try La Masse and freestylers will love the terrain park in Val Thorens.
