The Skiers' Guide to Saint Martin de Belleville

Beautiful ski village. Access to the whole of the three valleys, which is an amazing ski area. There are some bars, etc., which are open for apres ski but it is more of a chilled vibe rather than dancing and music. The Lodji is really nice for drinks at the bottom of the slope near the bubble. There are some really lovely restaurants with delicious food, both in the village and in the town. Saint Martin has access to all the things you need such as shops for both food, souvenirs, ski gear and more. Some bars in the village stay open relatively late, including the p bar which plays live music occasionally if you are looking for something to do in the evening!

Lovely village in the 3 Vallees, without the obnoxiousness of Courcheval etc!
Loads of excellent restaurant options (including Michelin stars) and also great for kids.

The most charming resort in the Three Valleys (Les Trois Vallees), St Martin de Belleville is an authentic Savoie village, with lovely historic village centre, and excellent dining options at all price points, including some Michelin-starred places. But the real secret here is that it's the backdoor fast track - often at more affordable prices - right into the heart of the 3V.
The gondola from the village centre zips you up the mountain quickly - and as St Martin is quite low down, sometimes the snow isn't great going back home at the end of the day, so the gondola is ideal for getting you back home quickly too.
From the top of the gondola, it's one fast lift up to the top of some great runs in St Martin, Les Menuires and Meribel - basically, right in the middle of the 3V.
If you don't need rollicking nightlife and prefer Savoyard charm and fast access to the best of the 3V, this is the best choice.

Saint Martin Belleville is a true alpine feel resort with fabulous ln
Inks direct to the three valleys ski area which offers first class areas for every type and standard of skier

First time boarding with my partner and the slopes at this resort were perfect to learn from and the blues runs weren’t to difficult, the scenery is amazing,

This resort is the best spot to jump between multiple different valleys and have a Michelin star restaurant

Lovely family friendly resort.
Many places to eat ranging from medium cost to fine dining.
Beautiful traditional French village full of charm.
Good ski school although not great for runs for beginners.
Highly recommend

Stayed in a beautiful chalet, with host an chef was amazing food, the staff on the slopes were super friendly an welcoming. Just shame injured myself so wasn't able to do much boarding, but was a beautiful place to be

We loved our stay in St. Martin. It was nice to have a calm town to stay in with easy access to the other ski areas for more après like Val T or luxury shopping in Courcheval. Accommodations were nice and food was great in town. There were spa options for after skiing or a day off too. St Martin Hotel was incredible.

Lots of powder in Jan, well connected to the three valleys, 30 mins to Meribel. Lifts close early so plan your return journey back on advance otherwise it’s an expensive taxi around the mountain

Spent a week in Saint Martin de Belleville in January 2025, we were very lucky with nice conditions of snow and it being a quite week and had a blast. The village of Saint Martin was lively and adorable.

Love st Martin. Family friendly gateway to the 3 vallees. Get the snow and vibes of Maribel and VT but can retreat to a quiet French village at the end of the ski day.

It’s a small resort but connected into the much larger three valley area by an excellent lift system. A few good restaurants more family oriented than some of the other nearby areas such as Val Thorens

Been going there a really long time, super family friendly and beautiful resort. Well connected to rest of three valley’s so great place to go!

Went with a group of friends.

Resort was good and slopes not too bad. Quite low down so it can get very icy at the bottom.

When it's windy, they close the lifts so it's impossible to get back from meribel or menuires without getting the bus which only runs 4x a day

Not much apres ski but p bar was very good with love music

Great satellite resort for the 3 valleys - much cheaper and has a lot of charm with direct access to Méribel and Les Menuires. Good range of restaurants, from traditional alpine to 3 Michelin stars. Small après scene but still some decent live music at some bars throughout the week. Easy access from Geneva and regular buses running to Les Menuires and Val Thorens.

Great time - love st Martin such a lovely relaxed resort! Would definitely return again. Praman is the best run ever

Lovely village with small amount of shops and restaurants. As a first time skier I had lessons which where great. They helped me from a complete beginner who was nervous, to going out confident down a blue run. The lifts weren't to packed this was beginning of January, and loads of locations to go and explore.

Lived here for a season, excellent resort for access to the 3 valleys at a cheaper rate.Family friendly resort

Charming village - excellent ski schools and good when travelling with non skiiers / older relatives who can explore the village which has museum, cafes etc

Was great fun. Great skiing along with great food and quick ski lifts. Would highly recommend any skiers or snowboarders to try here as gives great access to the whole of the alps.
