Among the notable updates during this preparation period, significant projects are being carried out to optimise the ski area and skier comfort.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Piste levelling for better snow retention<\/h3>\n\n<p>Currently, <strong>piste levelling<\/strong> operations are in progress on the <strong>village ski lift<\/strong> route. This meticulous earthwork aims to correct terrain irregularities and ensure better distribution and retention of both natural and man-made snow. This targeted intervention on this key artery, which provides direct access to the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/st-martin-belleville.com\/fr\/blog-patrimoine\">historic centre<\/a><\/strong>, will optimise snow cover, thereby reducing the need for artificial snow while guaranteeing a smoother and safer ski experience for all levels.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation of a low-pressure snow cannon<\/h3>\n\n<p>In addition to this levelling, a <strong>low-pressure snow cannon<\/strong> is being installed on the same run. This technical choice offers numerous advantages: it allows for the production of optimal quality snow even when temperatures are near zero, while consuming less energy.<\/p>\n\n<p>This equipment modernisation guarantees an efficient and safe <strong>return for skiers<\/strong> right to the foot of the village, across a wider part of the season, from the official opening until the final days of the spring closing.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"28771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1823-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Wooden terrace of Le Montagnard restaurant in summer with a panoramic view of the valley and the mountains of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville\" class=\"wp-image-28771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1823-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1823-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1823-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1823.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"28773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1725-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Sunflowers on the terrace of Le Montagnard restaurant with a view of the earthworks and piste improvements in Saint-Martin-de-Belleville\" class=\"wp-image-28773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1725-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1725-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1725-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1725.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"28772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1818-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"View from the terrace railing of Le Montagnard restaurant over the piste earthworks and the village of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville\" class=\"wp-image-28772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1818-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1818-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1818-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/www.le-montagnard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_1818.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New developments on the village ski lift run!
