Direct Access
With direct access into the heart of the 3 valleys, 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. An 8-person gondola followed by a 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 December through to May.
Skiers Paradise
For beginners finding their feet, there is a debutants area, with a 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.
