The Skiers' Guide to Saint Martin de Belleville

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.

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.

Great resort. So much to do and really family friendly area. Not too expensive but this is due to it being quite far out with the three valleys and if youre planning to do venture out far, definitely keep an eye on the time so you can get back!

Lovely resort with great access to the three valleys and ample skiing, the restaurants are unbelievable with many mentioned in the Michelin guide or have Michelin stars.

Been coming here years - a great family friendly ski resort town. Once you take the gondola then the chair you have access to meribel and les menuires. After taking 2/3 more lifts you can access most of the three valleys - love it!

Excellent options around & to get quickly up to Val Thorens & towards Orelle. The latter is like skiing on a moon scape.

Great local restaurants & decent accommodation.

Speed lifts now have made access easier & faster than in the 1990s !

Cheers. Mike

We stayed at saint martin de belleville was a beautiful little village the les 3 vallees ski resort was huge loads of ski runs. It was quite busy most of the time but we did manage to find a few runs certain times of the day we're quieter. We had a great time and would recommend you go and experience the 3 valleys resort. The food we had at saint martin de belleville was exceptional, would go back again 100%.

This was my second ski holiday - we stayed at with family as they own an apartment, it was in a great location! The shops and restaurants were only a couple of minutes away each way. There is a fantastic little British pub and they did cocktail, some well known English drinks, they always had something on in the evening weather that was from music to bingo.

Getting to ski lifts was easy and only a 5 minute walk with all your gear on, ski lifts and gondolas were all very clean and comfortable and looked very modern and some of the views are incredible!

Really nice and pretty resort. Quieter than others I have stayed in with a couple of nice apres bars but nothing super lively with pumping music. There is great access to the whole of the three valleys from Saint Martin despite being lower than a lot of them. There are some lovely restaurants in the with delicious food in the town as well as up the mountain. The town has all the things needed for a shop, including a great butchers and super friendly ski shops. Would highly recommend a stay here.
