Skiresort-village
Saint Martin de Belleville, the charm and authenticity of a village-resort. Stone, wood, slate... at an altitude of 1450 m, Saint Martin de Belleville is a real postcard savoyard village.
One can almost smell childhood White Christmases spent at the fireside of a mountain chalet. Open door towards the fabulous 3 Vallées ski area (600 km, 174 ski lifts). It is a real village skiresort, certainly dedicated to lovers of authenticity, but also with all the access facilities, infrastructure and shops expected of an up to date winter sports resort.
The pearl in the Vallée des Belleville, Saint Martin is developing in harmony, modernising its ski area, improving its services, envisaging limited property development, which will be composed of beautiful chalets extending the «Grangeraies» area.
Gone are the high mountain resorts, leaving their place to a real village life, where old and young alike, attached to their local language and traditions, share with the visitors, drawn by the snow covered pistes, their way of life, cultural heritage and the local gourmet specialities.
