Les Menuires

There is no getting away from the fact this is known as an ugly resort, but stylish recent developments, notably in the Reberty area, are transforming it. The great benefits are fantastic skiing and swift links into the rest of The 3 Valleys ski area, without the premium prices of Val Thorens.

Beginners

A dedicated nursery slope area was created last season and there are wide and gentle slopes ideal for beginners, plus a special beginner’s lift pass.

Intermediates

With good snow you may need little reason to leave the local slopes, which are all virtually blue and red runs, but there is endless scope for adventure in The 3 Valleys area. This really is a paradise for intermediates who like to travel.

Advanced

La Masse has some of the steepest and quietest pistes in The 3 Valleys. Long reds and a black meet beneath the gondola. From the top there are also some fantastic, scenic off-piste runs. Easy access to the rest of The 3 Valleys means the opportunities are endless.

Snowboarding

There is plenty here for every style of rider. Lots of chairs and gondolas in the extensive lift system make for comfortable travel, but there are a few flattish sections of piste to be negotiated in places. There is a terrain park with a half-pipe just above the main village.
