St. Martin de Belleville is located at 1450 meters altitude in the Vallée des Belleville and is part of the world's largest ski area Les Trois Vallees. This town still exudes the traditional atmosphere of the Savoy which you can find in the cozy little streets, stone and wooden houses, the beautiful, built in baroque style church and the many shops.
Les Menuires is reached by blue and red runs. St. Martin de Belleville is suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers or snowboarders. Freestylers will enjoy the fun park located at 2500 meters and the halfpipe at Les Menuires. For a 10-kilometer cross-country trail which runs partly through forest and partly through open terrain St. Martin de Belleville is the place! In the evening you can visit the piano bar or pub where live concerts are often held.

The Les Trois Vallées ski area consists of several smaller ski areas, namely Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Méribel, and Vallée de Courchevel.

Val Thorens is mostly suitable for intermediate skiers and partygoers. Les Menuires has a total of 160 kilometres of slopes to enjoy and is very accessible for beginners.

There are also special ‘Zen’ areas there, which are perfect for beginners of all ages to practice in a safe environment.
In such a gigantic ski area, you can of course do more than just race down the slopes on your skis or snowboard. Why not go on a beautiful snowshoe hike, a cross-country ski tour, or a thrilling zipline? You can even take an unforgettable helicopter flight over the snow-capped mountains, or float over the stunning landscape in a hot air balloon. Are you a bit of an adrenaline junkie? Then hang gliding or paragliding is perfect for you!
