Les Menuires (France) Ski Holidays and Resorts 2019/20

On the mountain

Les Menuires sits in the midst of the largest lift-linked ski area in the world. It has the most skiing of all the Three Valleys resorts with 160km of mainly blue or green runs.

Families and beginners are well provided for with a superb carpet conveyor lift and gentle slopes in the Croisette area. The closest black runs are on La Masse; try the Bouquetin, Dame Blanche or the off piste run down into Orelle for some real challenges. Definitely worth hiring a guide and transceivers for that!

Off the mountain

Relax in the indoor pool or hot tub at the new leisure centre, dine out on Italian, Tex-Mex and Savoyard specialties or seek out the few bars that stay open after midnight. Try Bar pub Le Kube or the only nightclub, Le Leeberty.

For an afternoon off the slopes, head to Aquafun and Wellness Centre and relax in the waves and water jets. There's even a dedicated kids area. If you want to stay on the snow, try out the sledging, cross country skiing or the new activity of Speed Mountain tobogganing! Ideal for mini speed demons.
