Apres Ski & Non Skiers

Non - skiers

Apart from the skiing and boarding, Saint Martin and the surrounding area has a lot to offer. For a start, you will find many authentic Savoyard villages (including Saint Martin it's self) where local life still carries on side by side with the winter visitors. Small shops stock regional produce and crafts and the restaurants offer a wide variety of dishes to cater for every taste.

There are many activities available, all of which can be arranged locally. Alternatively, we can put together a tailor made package for you on request.



Snow Shoe Treks

Several marked pedestrian paths allow you to walk and discover the numerous Belleville hamlets in a superb landscape. There are a multitude of guided snowshoe outings run by the local ski school or you can just follow the marked paths giving you the opportunity to discover this rich area and some wonderful views.

If you wish to see some really wild scenery and maybe some of the fantastic wildlife in the area you have to head further off the beaten track – we will happily point you in the right direction or can guide you on request.


Dog Sledding


It doesn't come much better than this! Try dog sledding at Saint Martin de Belleville alongside the river.




Snowmobiles

A range of snowmobile excursions are available each day, booked locally. You are able to drive yourself or ride pillion with an instructor if you prefer.

Cross Country Skiing

Everyone can discover the joys of cross country skiing and there are 28km of pisted tracks in the belleville valley. Access to the cross country piste is free.

 



Luge Land


Young and old alike can slide down on large inflatable rings, on two 200 m long slopes, protected by crash barriers.
The slopes have been specially created and landscaped to give maximum fun. After the thrill of the descent, you are pulled back up to the top on your inflatable ring, attached to a cable.




Apres Ski


The focus for après ski is in the nearby village of Saint Martin de Belleville where there are about a dozen restaurants and bars.

On the whole, it would be fair to say the nightlife is fairly low key – great for traditional mountain bars and open fires as well as a selection of restaurants offering everything from pizza to gourmet french cuisine.

Many skiers and borders congregate at the Piano Bar to reminisce over the day's events before heading back for dinner. If you have the energy to go out again afterwards, Brewski's have live bands each week as part of their busy weekly schedule, the Piano bar has Karaoke and Rock and Roll and we've heard there's the occasionally mad party to be had at Bar Restaurant de la Loy!

If you want to go clubbing every night, Saint Martin probably isn't for you – the nearest night club is 25 minutes away at Les Menuires
