Saint-Martin-de-Belleville offers quick access to Tarentaise's main cycling routes whilst remaining away from the busiest areas. From the village, the descent towards Moûtiers opens access to major passes like the Loze or the Cormet de Roselend, while the climb towards Les Menuires and Val Thorens plunges directly into the 3 Vallées. This central location makes it an ideal base for linking together routes between several valleys, with long and varied loops where each outing alternates between heritage, altitude, and wide-open spaces.
Road cycling finds structured terrain here with the long, steady climbs of the Belleville valley and quick access to the great passes of Tarentaise. Gravel cyclists can explore the mountain pasture paths linking traditional hamlets, forest tracks, and routes connecting the different levels of the valley. Mountain biking truly comes alive in the forests above the village and on the trails climbing towards the crests of the 3 Valleys. This diversity allows Saint-Martin-de-Belleville to be approached as a complete base between a lively valley and high-altitude mountain.
The climb to Val Thorens is the iconic route of the area, with a steady ascent to the highest resort in Europe. The link to Méribel and the Col de la Loze opens up possibilities for major loops in the 3 Valleys. The descent to Moûtiers, on the other hand, allows for a quick return to the Tarentaise and its major cycling routes.
The routes connecting Saint-Martin-de-Belleville, Les Menuires, and the surrounding hamlets offer varied terrain for gravel biking and mountain biking. The routes alternate between mountain pastures, smooth sections, and forest paths, with open panoramas of the Vanoise and the peaks of Tarentaise.
