About the Resort
About Les Menuires
Les Menuires is a highly functional, purpose-built resort situated at 1,850m in the Belleville Valley. Originally known for its 1960s functional architecture, the resort has softened its image in recent years with the addition of traditional wood-and-stone chalets, particularly in the Reberty and Les Bruyères districts. What it may lack in historic alpine charm, it more than makes up for in unbeatable convenience, with almost all accommodations offering immediate ski-in/ski-out access.
The Resort
As an integral part of the immense Les 3 Vallées ski area, Les Menuires offers a brilliant base for skiers of all levels. It provides the same world-class terrain as its more famous neighbors, Val Thorens and Méribel, but generally at a more accessible price point. The resort is particularly renowned for its family-friendly facilities, proudly holding the prestigious 'Famille Plus' label for its excellent childcare, dedicated beginner zones, and diverse off-slope activities.
On the Mountain
The local terrain features wide, sun-drenched cruising pistes on the Mont de la Chambre side, perfect for intermediates to build confidence. Across the valley, the towering Pointe de la Masse offers incredible north-facing runs, preserving excellent snow quality and providing challenging reds, blacks, and stellar freeride terrain.
