The Rhone / French Alps / Savoie region
Les trois vallees claims, with justification, to be the largest ski area in the world. So vast is les trois vallees domaine that the entire skiing area of Val d'Isere/Tigne, La Plagne, Les Arcs plus Valmorel would fit into it. 190 major lifts, 600km of marked pistes - most of the lower ones have the back up of 1500 snow cannons. For the more advanced skiers there are a number of itinerary runs and excellent off-piste skiing.
It just goes on and on - and all this is accessed from the deceptively central St Martin de Belleville. Small wonder that once people have tried les trois vallees they come back year after year.
St Martin de Belleville area
St Martin is a pretty Savoie village nestling around a 16th century church. The local shops are all in the centre of the village and are close to the apartments. The village boasts some excellent restaurants including those serving traditional mountain cuisine, a pizzeria and a 1* Michelin restaurant close by. There are a number of apres ski night spots in the village for those who want to party the night away, including our own Piano Bar, ‘Pourquoi Pas’, situated in a beautiful vaulted cellar and has lively entertainment.
The St Martin summer fete on August 15th is always popular with tourists and locals alike with music, entertainment and local artisan markets.
