Direct Access
With direct access into the heart of Les Trois Vallées, and at the same height as Meribel, St Martin de Belleville is the perfect mountain village location from which to explore the largest ski area in the world. A gondola followed by a fast quad whisks you up to 2,435m and you are on the ridge between Meribel & the Belleville valley. The most difficult decision of the day is where to go. The snow cover is often the envy of other resorts and, along with over 1,900 snow cannons, skiing is virtually assured from Christmas through to May. When you add to this over 600km of glorious pisted runs from Courcheval to Val Thorens, exhilarating off-piste terrain and the best lift system to be found anywhere, it is ‘extremely unlikely that you will exhaust the possibilities in Les Trois Vallées - even if you spend the rest of your life there’ (Top Ski Resorts of the World).

Skiers Paradise
For beginners finding their feet, there is a debutants area, with a new magic carpet, on the village slopes. Then to hone your technique head up the St Martin gondola to the gentle slopes and spectacular views above the village. For intermediates you are simply spoilt for choice; you are in skiing heaven. All the valleys are superbly linked with Val Thorens & Courcheval under an hour away and on your doorstep are some of the quietest slopes in Les Trois Vallées. For the adventurous the extensive off-piste terrain, bumps and steeps, as well as the Saulire Couloirs will challenge even the most expert skier.
