Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Off to St Martin de Belleville in Feb/March and one of our party is off games. We are keen to meet up with him for lunch whenever possible. He should be able to get to any of the base stations up the valley (i.e. St M de B, Lez Manures, and VT). Does anyone know where I can find a list of pedestrian accessible mountain restaurants, or failing that any suggestions. As a start, does anyone know if one can access La Loy and Corbeleys?
Thanks

La ferme de choumette at St Martin is easily accessible to skiers and pedestrians. Just off the main piste back into SMB. Both the restaurants at the top of the bubble out of SMB would be easy for him too. Corbelys and Chardon Bleu I think they're called. I think la loy might be a bit of a hike but not sure. Plenty of choices for you to meet up in VT or Les Menuires. He can catch a bus from SMB to the other two resorts and apart from all the choices you have in the main hub areas he could get a pedestrian lift pass and meet you at the top. The resort websites and FB pages can be useful for actual restaurant names.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Steph is right, La Loy would be a bit of a hike, roughly a third of the way down the Biolley piste back to St Martin.
Loads of restaurants at resort level in Les Menuires either around the Croisette or at Bruyeres. Slightly more distant would be the slope-side Medzery in Preyerand, for skiers that would then leave you to take either the Tortollet lift or continue down the Bettex piste and then get the new Bettex chair. Also accessible from Menuires is the Chalet de la Masse on the Vallons run back to the bottom of the Masse. Walked to it recently using the gently sloping zig-zag blue piste that inclines upwards from the Croisette bucket lift, and it took about 25 minutes. A walking pole would help but not essential.
There is also the Setor (formerly the Sonnailles) on the road to VT and accessible by skiers coming down the Boulevard Cumin. Its just out of Menuires, again just a few minutes walk, or your pedestrian friend could cheat and use the Croisette bucket to the base of the Masse lifts (no pass needed) and then walk up the track that has the cross country tracks cut in it, heading in the direction of the Plan de l'Eau. There is a large wooden cow sculpture very near the restaurant.
In St Martin itself there is always the Etoile de Neiges right next to the drag lift near the Mairie's office, and the museum which is worth a look.
