Thank you Daved, how can I reach St martin de bellville, can you give me the names of the lifts and the slopes which I have to follow? What about the return trip?

Its just basically ski down the road from the bottom lift ..you will see it on the piste map to get to st martin...the way back is a bit more complicated
up the chenus lift>col du loze drag>blue runs down to Meribel>Tougnet1 bubble>down the arrolles to mottaret >the la plattieres lifts 1&2 >down to the Cote Brun lift. then down Plein Sud to Val Thorens

Just keep a track of time, it's not a quick route via the blues. You'll find it a challenge to ski there and back in a day as there's no direct route.
If you're up for trying a red, the Lac de la Chambre red run will save you about an hour. It's a fantastic run, big wide and usually in very good condition. There are a couple of slightly steeper bits but most of it is comparable with the blues in the area. I've taken confident beginners on it without a problem.
Avoid the Ours blue above Mottaret, it's a path with a lot of poleing, take the Plan de Mains lift and ski any of the blues down beside the Plattieres lifts.
If you follow Daved's route, you don't need to go all the way to the bottom of St Martin, join the Saint Martin 2 lift.

Avoid the silver service and it's not too bad.
