Want to change up your winter holiday routine this season? If you are searching for a resort that will seduce you with its mountain views, while staying quiet enough to allow you to get a good night’s rest before first chair the next morning, Saint Martin de Belleville deserves a long look.
Where is Saint Martin de Belleville, and what is it all about?
Located an equal distance from Lyon (France), Geneva (Switzerland), and Turin (Italy), Saint Martin de Belleville is in the heart of the Alps while remaining easy to reach from the airports found in each of these cities.
This makes Saint Martin de Belleville a convenient base for adventurous snow sport enthusiasts to experience the best ski areas in the region, especially when you consider that is is part of the Three Valleys ski region, which is one of Europe’s largest system of connected ski runs.
With plenty of amazing trails to discover and heart-stopping scenery at this resort though, we think that you’ll derive plenty of enjoyment by spending your entire trip in this cosy ski village.
Despite high levels of development at other ski areas throughout the French Alps, Saint Martin de Belleville has retained its unspoilt nature, as it is more or less still the sleepy mountain town it was in prior generations.
Those looking for a throbbing nightlife scene will be disappointed, but others will be charmed by the authentic French Alp village vibe that predominates here.
Why should you book your winter holiday here?
If you are looking for a snow resort that focuses on the experience, and not the trappings of the ski/snowboard scene, you will want to seriously consider booking a ski holiday in Saint Martin de Belleville.
Here, it is all about enjoying the pure joy of these sports, as its runs are just challenging enough to test the recreational skier without overwhelming them.
With discounts for guests that book early, on-site equipment rentals, and plenty of accommodations that fit a variety of budgets, Saint Martin makes the logistics of planning a trip there easy as well.
The town of Saint Martin de Belleville is the French Alp hideaway that you’ve always fantasized about, as its generations-old church, cute square, and handmade wood and stone homes will steal your heart on first sight.
Those preferring an apres-ski scene that is on the chill end of the spectrum will also want to book a trip here, as Saint Martin de Belleville lacks the brash nightclubs found in places like Meribel and Davos.
Instead, bars like P Bar attract a more mature clientele. Younger snow sports enthusiasts aren’t left out entirely though, as are popular choices for locals and traveling youth.
What activities and sports can you enjoy at Saint Martin de Belleville?
Unsurprisingly, Saint Martin de Belleville is best known for its skiing and snowboarding. As mentioned earlier, this resort is best for recreational snow sport enthusiasts that are comfortable on intermediate runs, though there are a sufficient amount of beginner runs available here as well.
Snowboarders also have a terrain park and a half pipe at their disposal, allowing them plenty of opportunity to work on their tricks.
If you are seeking out recreational activities away from the slopes, you can go cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or tobogganing when you aren’t tearing down the mountains of the Three Valleys.
If sports aren’t your thing, then try soaking in the on-site spa, go on an interesting tour the historical centre of Saint Martin, or go shopping in the downtown core. These are just a few ways you can occupy yourself away from the mountain, as you will no doubt learn of several more activities upon your arrival in town.
