its great!
easy queue free access to the whole 3V. Avoid Les Minging apart from the must do La Motte side.
Go to VT via Meribel and mottery and come back that way too. the red between VT and LM is a dire track.
Not much in the way of drinking tho, even the famed Brewski's was poor, but at french prices who can afford to anyway.

I stopped in St Martin for a long weekend a couple of years ago, this being in January, and was very impressed both with the village and two fast lifts out into the main 3V system. Some really good resturants in the village. Runs back to village are covered with snow makers. However I skiied into St Martin in March this year and there was a horrendous mid afternoon queue for the St Martin 2 chairlift ... a few days later and a few days wiser we found out that there is a singles queue for the chair on the far right (even further over than the ski school queue). Overall I'd recommend it a lot nicer place to stop than the main resorts.

I wouldn't say poor, but it was quiet in Jan this year, and is probably a fair reflection of St Martin's apres in general. Should be a bit livelier in half-term weeks tho. St Martin is out on a limb of the 3V and does feel very seperate from the rest the area, so if that is what you are looking for then book it up.
The Belleville and "fourth" valleys are as big as Courchevel and Meribel put together (300km?), so you will have plenty of exploring to do. As for diverting through Meribel on the way to VT....? In half-term week...? Not unless you enjoy lift Qs!

I stayed in the Brewski's apartments a few years back ( true ski in ski out accommodation - if a little basic ) with Ski Miquel, but they don't go there anymore. I think Equity do now though. The village is well linked to the 3V with a gondola and chair to the Meribel ridge. I remember a couple of good restaurants on the hill, and some brilliant fast cruises on Jerusalem and Pramint pistes. Apres Ski is a little quiet, but there a couple of restaurants in the village. All in all, thoroughly recommended
