Why Saint Martin de Belleville is Highly Rated for Families

Saint Martin de Belleville has rightfully earned the silver award for Best Ski Resorts for Families in Europe 2025 with a 4.92/5.00 rating, thanks to its perfect balance of family-friendly amenities and authentic alpine charm. The beginner slopes here are particularly well-suited for young skiers, with Alexandra, a first-time skier in our community, highlighting the excellent lessons that helped her progress "from a complete nervous beginner to going out confident down a blue run." Ben, an advanced skier, points to the "excellent ski schools" as a standout feature, making this village ideal for families with children of different abilities. Georgia, an intermediate skier, emphasizes that it's a "really family friendly area" with plenty to do, while another user, Erris, simply but effectively describes it as an "excellent resort for access to the 3 valleys at a cheaper rate" that's "family friendly."

What sets Saint Martin apart is its thoughtful approach to creating a safe, accessible environment where families can enjoy skiing without the usual stresses. Henry, an expert skier from the UK who has been visiting for years, describes it as "a great family friendly ski resort town" with excellent lift connections. The village itself offers amenities beyond skiing, with Ben noting it's "good when travelling with non-skiers/older relatives who can explore the village which has museum, cafes etc," creating a complete family experience. The relaxed atmosphere, mentioned by Jacqueline as "such a lovely relaxed resort," combined with less crowded lifts that Alexandra experienced in January, makes it easier for families to navigate the slopes together. Access to the wider Three Valleys area provides options for every family member as they progress, while the village maintains its tranquil, family-oriented character that keeps parents returning year after year.
