St Martin de Belleville Resort Information

St Martin de Belleville – The Beautiful Village

A resort where the name explains what visitors can expect when holidaying there – a Beautiful Village.  Located in the savoie region in the Vanoise mountain range, St Martin de Belleville is a ski resort that has retained all the charm and authenticity of a traditional mountain village.

The tradition of the village will take you back in time, however, the resort also has the best of both worlds with facilities, services and shopping networks any holiday maker would expect to have access to in a modern ski resort.

Meribel lifts open EARLY!!!!

Thanks to a massive dump of snow over the weekend, Méribel’s two lift
companies have agreed to start running lifts on December 6th - the earlier
of the two possible resort opening dates.

With 70cm of snow on the upper runs, 45cm in the resort, and more snow
being created by snowcanons, conditions look very good already. More snow
is forecast from Sunday onwards raising hopes that we will enjoy the same
excellent snow conditions as last December.

The provisional list of Méribel valley lift opening dates is as follows:

Brand New ‘Hands Free’ Multiple Resort Lift Pass

Say goodbye to traditional ski passes! The Holiski pass lets you enjoy the slopes of the 8 prestigious ski areas of Compagnie des Alpes. No need to stand in line, or visit the Web every time you want to buy a ski pass.

The pass’ built-in chip works just like a contactless motorway card: it is detected automatically when you go through the ski lift turnstiles. The system records the days you skied and you automatically benefit from exclusive reductions.

Your Holiski pass symbolizes your annual subscription, valid from the opening day of the first ski area in the network until September 30 of the following year.

Meribel Parking Changes

For the remainder of the summer season vehicles will no longer be allowed to park on the Montée de la Chaudanne, one of the two main roads running through Méribel centre. Until the end of August, wooden barriers will prevent cars from parking on either side of the street, effectively enlarging the pavement and allowing pedestrians more space to wander, enjoy outdoor cafes and the twice weekly market. Deliveries will still be permitted and two short stay parking spaces are still available outside the Pharmacy. After public consultation at the end of the summer, a decision will be taken by the town hall whether to make the change permanent. The town hall states that its long term objectives towards road use are:
to reduce the number of vehicles in Méribel, 
reduce the noise and pollution caused by car use within the resort,
encourage tourists and locals to use the car parks close to town centre,
develop car-sharing,
and increase the use of the free communal transport.

Cheap Flights To The Alps

Winter is well and trully over in Meribel and as the resort starts to gear
up for the summer season of biking, golfing, walking and much more, your
attention may be turning to next years ski holiday as lo-cost airlines
flight seats are released.

Jet2.com have seats from as little as £8.99 one way from Manchester,
Leeds, Newcastle, and new for this year Blackpool.

Looking to fly from the south? Snowjet.com released their seats over the
weekend, flying from Gatwick, Stansted and Bristol to Chambery from as
little as £24.99 one way.
