Visitor Reviews of Les Menuires

Cormac from Ireland writes:

Reasonable value in Les Menuires for food and drink, in comparison to any of the other 3 valley locations anyway. Skipass for 3 valleys is exorbitant at €234 for 6 days, I've been in a number of great places in Switzerland where ski pass is half that price. Lots of good runs, looks like great off-piste options but for us this year there was no fresh snow (29thJan - 5thFeb 2011-no snow for 2+ plus weeks). So it was rock hard and fairly icy but I'd say with fresh snow it would be heavenly. Val Thorens was easily accessible, as was Meribel and Courcheval. Self catering accommodation (Chalet Dame Blanche) was in great condition, had sauna and the beds were comfortable.

Personally, I find the French extremely rude which would put me off going back to French Alps but maybe it's a cultural misunderstanding. This applies to service and encounters on the slopes.
We rented gear from InterSport Troxler. The boots were junk which looked liked they'd been picked out of a skip somewhere (mine leaked when the snow melted on them), the boards were alright although definitely a few years old and they didn't have a helmet to fit me comfortably (my head isn't small but it's not extraordinary). All of this I could live with if there was some comforting words, but again with the French attitude all I got was a hmmmph and a shrug of the shoulders.

Overall, it looks like great mountains for fresh snow but pricier, less welcoming and definitely less professional than equally good resorts in Switzerland (pending the exchange rate returning to normal levels).
