It is well connected to the busier Val Thorens and Meribel, so school groups will be able to enjoy a full range of pistes as they venture further afield on the speedy links to a world-beating 650km of runs in the rest of Les 3 Vallées area.

Ski Information
Les Menuires is ideal for beginners who want to ski in the Les 3 Vallées with plenty of progression. There are loads of quiet, wide green and blue slopes in the local area where you can build confidence. Also, because of its high altitude you can expect excellent snow conditions throughout the season. More experienced skiers can warm up their ski legs locally then head further out to explore the rest of the 650km area.
Wide, quiet slopes and fewer lift queues than in nearby resorts – there’s a lot for intermediates to get excited about in Les Menuires. For the pick of the local pistes, head to the Pointe de la Masse peak, where you can ski over 1,000m from top to bottom on rolling terrain that’s ideal for some high-speed cruising. Then when you fancy venturing further afield, you’ve got speedy links to a world-beating 650km of runs in the rest of the Three Valleys area.
