LES MENUIRES, A MODERN AND ACCESSIBLE SKI RESORT

While some resorts in Les 3 Vallées are famous for their picturesque charm, Les Menuires is known for its striking modernist architecture.

Created in 1964 as part of France’s plan to create new, high-altitude ski areas, the ski resort is dotted with seventies-style buildings. From Savoyard-inspired chalets to high-class residences, Les Menuires’s architectural style creates an individual character that is unique in Les 3 Vallées.

FIVE DISTRICTS TO EXPLORE... AND MORE

Les Menuires offers five districts for you to explore: La Croisette, Preyerand, Les Fontanettes, Grand Reberty and Les Bruyères.

From La Croisette, the heart of the resort with an altitude of 1,850m, it is only a short step to the four other districts! Wherever you decide to stay, you can easily get around the resort thanks to the free buses, public lifts and walking paths.

If you want to go big, it’s easy to reach the neighbouring resorts of the largest ski area in the world without even taking off your skis, thanks to the high altitude 3 Valleys links. Head to Mont de la Chambre, which rises to 2,800m, to take in the immensity of this open-air playground!

A FAMILY RESORT BY NATURE

It is never too early to introduce children to the delights of the mountains, which is why Les Menuires has thought of everything.

Holder of the “Famille Plus” quality award, the ski resort has all that families could require: an XXL “Piou Piou” children’s ski village, 2 nurseries, and many different play areas. The family-friendly atmosphere is sure to nurture children’s passion for skiing!

France’s best ESF (French Ski School) is located here too. Why not take advantage of this to treat yourself to a fantastic outing with an instructor while your little ones are learning? You can even try the Liberty Ride areas (with or without a guide) to enjoy the pleasures of powder snow in complete safety.

ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVITIES FOR ALL

Throughout the winter season, holidaymakers in Les Menuires can combine skiing with relaxation, comedy or culture.

Les Trophées de l'Espoir, an event sponsored by French sports personality David Douillet, is held every year in February to raise money for a cerebral palsy charity. In March, the resort echoes to laughter during Les Menuires du Rire festival of one man comedy shows and magic.

And lastly, Les Menuires invites you to embrace ‘slow life at altitude’ during Yogiski from 11 to 15 April when you can enjoy Yoga, meditation and forest bathing. It’s the ideal way to end the winter season feeling fully refreshed.

Whatever the size of your party, whatever your budget or the degree of comfort you prefer, you will find accommodation here to suit you. Whether it's a night in a refuge, a fully equipped apartment, a 4-star hotel or a holiday club, simply choose the option that appeals to you most!

The icing on the cake: most of the accommodation is ski-in/ski-out. Les Menuires: the value-for-money resort where you can make the most of every minute on the slopes.

Les Menuires’ friendly atmosphere continues when you come off the slopes and enter a restaurant for some well-deserved refreshment!
