Les Menuires Ski Holidays

Les Menuires Ski Holidays

The purpose-built resort of Les Menuires is situated just down the valley from Val Thorens in the vast Three Valleys ski area.

Les Menuires is designed with skiing in mind and is usually the best value place to stay on the giant Three Valleys circuit. The resort offers everything from excellent facilities for first timer skiers and boarders, to access to some of the toughest mountain terrain you’ll find anywhere in Europe.

The resort is split over several levels and has distinct 'quartiers,' each offering its own local amenities. Newer developments such as Reberty 2000, the highest part of the resort, offer a more upmarket chalet-style of architecture in contrast to the original 1960s buildings towards the resort centre at La Croisette. 

Skiing in Les Menuires

Les Menuires is an integral part of the Three Valleys, one of the world’s largest ski areas, with more than 600km of linked trails, all available on one ticket. The ski slopes run from east to west so you can follow the sun through the day. All levels of skier are well catered for, from beginner to expert.

Beginners have a dedicated area in Les Menuires to learn in and can easily progress onto the nearby blue runs when ready. Intermediates will be spoilt for choice with a huge network of blue and red slopes above the resort and with easy access to the pistes of the neighbouring resorts of Méribel and Val Thorens too.

For more advanced skiers and boarders, check out the runs of La Masse for some of the toughest trails, often with bumps and the deepest powder. From the top of La Masse, where you'll find unbeatable views, you can join several legendary off-piste itineraries offering unforgettable descents in infinite open space. Off piste sking should only be attempted with a guide.
