About the ski resort Les Menuires

Les Menuires – Ski Holidays Within The Big Three (Valleys)


Les Menuires is part of the huge ski area in France known as Les Trois Vallees, or The Three Valleys. Les Menuires skiing is one of the few places within Three Valleys where it is possible to find less people than in other nearby resorts. This fact is not because of the skiing but because of the slightly lower elevation than Val Thornes. Les Menuires specifically caters to families and beginner skiers, though there are technical challenges aplenty for the expert skier. There are over 60 ski runs in all, covering some 160 km. The lowest altitude is 1850 meters while the highest reachable point by lift is 2850 meters. There is even one gradient that travels 5 km while dropping 1400 meters. Snowboarding is minimal, as there is only one snowboard park. However, the snowboarding areas of other Trois Vallees resorts are easily reachable. Given that beginners come from Anglophone and European countries, it is no wonder the Ecole du Ski Francais (ESF [ski school]) employs over 200 ski instructors. Learning to ski in Les Menuires tops the list of places for learning to ski in France. Chambery has closest airport, a mere 100 km drive.

Les Menuires Accommodation:

The nice thing about Les Menuires hotels, chalets and apartments is twofold — they are cheaper than others, and regardless of the price, you will always have doorstep access to the best slopes. Though certain rooms have less of a view, certain lodges charge reasonable prices for high season skiing. The hotels in Les Menuires have been serving people since the 1960s, so treating visitors right with fair prices is just one facet of the servitude skiers find here.
