Saint-Martin-de-Belleville is a commune in the Savoie department in the Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France.
Despite being in the world famous Trois Vallées (Three Valleys) skiing area it has managed to keep its traditional French character, consisting of many alpine chalets with beautiful window boxes bursting with flowers.
