Forming part of the biggest ski area in the world, the Trois Vallées, Les Menuires offers groups the perfect base from which to explore a diverse range of slopes. The circuit comprises 600kms of piste and 189 ski lifts in total. Groups will be hard pressed to better this ski area which is second to none for sheer scale and variety of skiing.
The village of Les Menuires itself is purpose built with convenience and practicality in mind. The interconnecting ski lift network offers direct access to most parts of the vast Trois Vallées ski circuit.

Extensive ski area catering for all levels of ability.
On The Slopes
There is a range of nursery slopes, clustered around the village centre, which allow beginners steady progression and easy access to the more challenging pistes.
Intermediate skiers will delight in the interconnected array of wide, fast pistes, running from the crest of the mountain back into the village.
Take the Bruyères gondola from right outside our residence to the peak and then enjoy the long red run back into the village, or alternatively, with a 3 Valleys pass, go over the top of the Mont de la Chambre and down through the trees into Meribel Mottaret.
Advanced skiers can tackle the other side of the valley on the awe inspiring 'La Masse' ski area. Here long and somewhat steep black and red runs are often uncrowded and the snow tends to stay in good condition throughout the day. Try the 'Lac Noir' for funnels or moguls and the frightening 'Dame Blanche' for a truly exhilarating ride.
The 'air space' snowboard park caters for all levels, from the 'learners' area' for the beginner to the half pipe and boardercross for the more advanced rider.
Off The Slopes
There are two heated outdoor pools, an ice rink as well as snowshoeing and discos to entertain in the evenings. There is also a covered leisure centre with swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Night skiing available until 21:00.
