St Martin de Belleville — France

Compare this resort

The lifts out of St Martin are quieter than much of the vast Trois Vallees network, and yet from the summit you can access much of the area by turning for Meribel of for Les Menuires. As a base St Martin is ideally suited to mid-season groups of intermediate skiers, but beginners may prefer the nursery areas at Les Menuires or Meribel, whilst the higher slopes of Val Thorens are a safer bet at the start and end of the season.
 
Recent developments in St Martin have been sympathetic to the original character of the village. It is this character that attracts many lunchtime visitors to the villages’ restaurants, widely recognised as some of the best in the region. This is not your resort if you're looking for varied and lively night life but if you want the fabulous skiing of the three valleys without sacrificing a more traditional alpine feel, then St Martin de Belleville is real winner.
