Property Description

This ski in, ski out apartment will make anyone an excellent ski base, right in the hub of the departure point of the St Martin 1 gondola this is a vibrant location. You can stroll to the telecabin in a matter of moments and ski back to the apartment at the end of the ski day. Not only this but the balcony overlooks this point which make it a great place for people watching and a great place for sunbathing and dining outside.

The apartment itself is well laid out, you enter into a entry hall with hanging space and off the corridor is a double bedroom with built in wardrobe, next there is a bathroom with a full bath and separate wc, the main living area has a easy to organise shape and size allowing for a corner kitchen, dining and living area. The living area leads directly on to the balcony of 5.96m2 which is plenty big enough for eating out on and sunbathing. It’s also a place from which to enjoy the views as you look towards Le Cochet which is lit up at night during the season and makes a beautiful backdrop to your après ski.

If you’ve never skied from St Martin de Belleville then you don’t know what you’re missing and I’d like to suggest you rectify that at the earliest possible opportunity........ this is a gem of a ski resort. Not only does it sit in the Belleville valley along with Les Menuires and Val Thorens but it also links directly into the three valleys of Meribel, Courchevel and Orelle. Val Thorens has some of the highest skiing in Europe and it and the rest of the Belleville resorts have some of the best off-piste runs anywhere which means you are on to a very good snow thing! The ski area is called the Three Valleys (les Trois Vallées) and the name was not changed even when the forth valley of Orelle became part of the system. All of these locations are available on one ski pass or you can buy local passes if you are happy with the local area, which in itself is plenty for many skiers and boarders.

Travelling here is very straight forward;
The TGV / Snow trains stops at the bottom of the valley 20 mins away.
Or fly into one of the international airports within 2 hours drive; Geneva, Grenoble and Lyon. The smaller airport of Chambery is just over an hour away. Driving is also straightforward as the motorways arrive just short of Albertville then jump on the N90 until you reach the turning signed “Vallée de Belleville” and then you’ll know you’re 20 minutes from the ski slopes of St Martin de Belleville and your first turns!

Have I mentioned the summer? Well, it’s absolutely beautiful here throughout the year and if you do buy a ski apartment I also recommend you make plans to use it in the summer as well. Especially if you enjoy mountain pursuits from walking and mountain biking to long sunny lunches by the numerous lakes in the area. It’s all good.

Saint Martin de Belleville

Resort Description

Based at 1400m and directly linked into the vast Three Valleys network by an 8 person gondola, St Martin de Belleville offers unlimited, world-class skiing. The village is picture perfect, unspoiled and authentic making St Martin de Belleville the perfect ski resort if you are looking for a taste of authentic France combined with state of the art skiing. Clusters of traditional chalets and original Savoyard farmhouses are dominated by the close mountains with chamois and wild boars roaming free in the surrounding forests. St Martin was voted a “Top Ten Picture Postcard resort” for its pretty, traditional architecture and stunning Alpine scenery, it’s interesting to note that the commune have had the foresight to bury all the electric and phone cabling which means that not only does it have a clean uncluttered look, but you are unlikely to lose power when the snow hits! As an added bonus Val Thorens, officially the highest resort in Europe is situated at the top of the valley offering great skiing from mid-November to mid-May. St Martin also has some of the best and clearest runs in the Three Valleys; with skiing for all levels back down to the village and red run Jerusalem a firm favourite with many, and the confidence inspiring off-piste powder fields have to be experienced to be believed. In the height of summer during July and August the valley is host to walkers, nature lovers and adventure seekers who arrive to enjoy the traditional and less traditional mountain activities along with the colourful mountain meadows and beauty of the contrasting vibrant green against snow capped mountains. It is also a near neighbour to the Vanoise Park, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty. St Martin de Belleville has a lower key nightlife than its glitzy neighbours. Having said that, the valley boasts two Michelin starred restaurants, one being situated three minutes from the village, the other in Val Thorens. St Martin itself has several friendly bars and restaurants which retain a mountain village atmosphere with prices to match. It seems ideal for ski and mountain lovers looking for an authentic atmosphere a little apart from the crowds, and out of season it still has life and enough year round residents to stop it feeling like a ghost town.
