This village resort also has a lot to offer in the summer season. In summer sunshine, surrounded by pastures and pine forests stripped of their snow, the village’s authentic character exudes even more charm. Visit a mountain farm, enjoy the fauna and flora on a walk, or try your hand at mountain biking... The many and varied activities have one thing in common with the village resort: they leave visitors feeling content and fulfilled.

The village's cultural events enhance the summer experience. Festivities are held throughout the summer, allowing you to live at the pace of life of the locals and discover the valley’s heritage and customs. Every year in June, the ancient tradition of the cows and goats being driven up to the mountain pastures is transformed into a village festival, complete with entertainment, DJ and a barbecue evening. Later in the summer, the craft beer festival fills the streets of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville with jollity. Every 15th of August, there is a major pilgrimage to the Notre-Dame-de-la-Vie shrine, a 17th century listed monument.
