So what's it like?
Perfect base for exploring the 3 Valleys
At 1,815m purpose built Les Menuires is just below Val Thorens, providing great conditions and a convenient, good value foothold in the Three Valleys. Lifts radiate out in all directions from the village giving easy and quick access to the ski area whilst the resort itself has a good selection of bars and restaurants to keep visitors entertained.
Ski information
Beginners
The Three Valleys is a great place for beginners, with a huge range of wide, gentle slopes perfect for confidence building. Les Menuires itself has a relatively uncrowded local area, accessible by gondola or chair from the village.
Intermediates
The possibilities are huge for an intermediate skier, there are some great open slopes that lead back down to the resort from the Meribel Valley. Or you can choose another direction and have lunch in Val Thorens or Mottaret, there's simply too much to list!
Advanced
Expert skiers will relish the sheer volume of challenges on offer. From the fabulous powder snow on the Glaciers of Peclet and Chavière, the world-class mogul-bashing on the long steep Cîme de Caron black run. Head up the the Point de la Masse at 2805m and try some of the off piste routes down to Val Thorens to test yourself.
Nightlife
Although this village is described as quiet there are certainly plenty of bars and two nightclubs to choose from.
