Direct Access
With direct access into the heart of Les Trois Vallées, St Martin de Belleville is the perfect mountain village location from which to explore the largest ski area in the world. With mountain peaks rising to 3,300 metres, the snow cover is often the envy of other resorts and 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; explore to your hearts content safe in the knowledge that the only runs being repeated are the ones bringing you home at the end of the day. For the adventurous the extensive off-piste terrain is where it’s at. You can ski everything from perfect powder on the Tougnette ridge above St Martin; make first tracks on the Glacier du Bouchet and tackle the infamous ‘Trois Coulois de Saulire’.
