A boutique alpine haven in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville - contemporary design, a 16 m indoor pool, direct access to the 3 Vallées and family-friendly rooms for relaxed mountain escapes.
St. Martin de Belleville is the quiet gem of the Trois Vallées, an authentic Savoyard village that offers direct access to the world’s largest ski area without losing its rustic charm. Unlike its glitzier neighbours, St. Martin has preserved a traditional Alpine character, with stone houses, narrow lanes, and a church at its heart. For travellers who want the full Trois Vallées experience but in a more intimate, discreet setting, this is the perfect base.
The skiing is outstanding thanks to a modern high-speed lift that connects directly to Méribel and the wider domain. From here, skiers can reach over 600 kilometres of pistes spanning Courchevel, Méribel, and Val Thorens. Locally, the slopes are quieter than elsewhere in the valley, making them ideal for families and those who value uncrowded runs. Snowmaking ensures reliable conditions all season long.
Off the mountain, St. Martin is renowned for its refined simplicity. The village is home to one of the Alps’ most acclaimed restaurants, La Bouitte, which holds three Michelin stars and elevates traditional Savoyard flavours into haute cuisine. Accommodation ranges from charming farmhouses to chic chalets, and après-ski is low-key, focusing on cosy wine bars and relaxed dining.
