Les Menuires Ski Resort Guide
Les Menuires Ski Resort Guide
Les Menuires is a small village resort that offers a cheap way to ski in Les 3 Vallées. The 3 valley ski area is huge and will keep you amused for more than a week, it also offers something for everyone with over 600km of piste waiting to be explored. Access to the other resorts is quick and convenient and you can ski to you door in most places. Off the slopes the village at Les Menuires lacks the mountain charm of Meribel and Mottaret and the shopping malls are somewhat gloomy. Les Menuires does however provide more than adequate services for the skier and there is a good selection of restaurants. Night life is lively with a host of bars and discos. Les Menuires is the cheapest resort in the 3 valley complex.

Val Thorens (6 km),

Visitor Reviews of Les Menuires
Peter from Belgium writes:
I will be going to Les Menuires next week, after a fantastic week last year. We stayed in the Belhambra Neige et Ciel, which is great for families, with a very good buffet.
Skiing in Les Trois Vallées is simply fantastic. The infrastructure in Les Menuires is very good (with shorter queues at the lifts then in Méribel), but I find the views in Val Thorens Better.
My interest goes to skiing and not to the apres-ski (we have a 6 year old daughter), so I can't write much about that. Ski-passes are expensive, but for 600 km of well-maintained pistes, I find it worth the money.
