Les menuires is a fantastic value for money resort which is connected to the biggest ski area in the world. The lift systems are amazing, the snow is top quality. The centre of Les menuires does have everything you need, even though it isn't the most picturesque, but it does what it says on the tin! Gives you a great base to explore from, wether it be courchevel, Val thorens, merribel or orelle. It's possible to do them all in one day from this amazing location. It's definitely 5 stars for me.

Les Menuires is a hidden gem within the three valleys. Often a lesser known resort of, it benefits from quieter slopes yet having easy access to Méribel, Val Thorens and Courcheval within half an hour of the first lifts rolling. The relatively new pont de le masse lift also gives stunning views across the alps and access to more fabulous runs. The resort prides itself in being family friendly and has plenty of apres activities for kids from snow play to soft play there is something to please all little ones! As both an expert skier and intermediate boarder there is something for everyone, from wide blues for some carving to ungroomed patrolled areas for a taste of off piste. When the snow comes down there is plenty of opportunities for a little play off piste in search of powder, and nothing beats floating over a freshly groomed run either! From the shops, to restaurants and ski school the staff and locals are friendly and welcoming and appreciated our rather poor attempts in French. One of those places you can return to year on year without being bored!

Fantastic runs both sides of the valley. Great range of blues, less runs in this resort for the more advanced skier, but as part of the 3 valley system easy to find elsewhere. Lifts were modern and well maintained.

As someone who enjoys skiing and now wants to get the family involved. Les menuires provides the perfect balance for beginners and intermediate skiers and families with great food and shopping options.

Famille friendly resort. The architecture isnt great with a few large building but its changing to nicer chalet types of accommodation. The off post terrain is unparalleled and if you know where to go isnt overcrowded. It connects to the 3 valleys which is the largest ski area in the world. Options are endless.

The resort was perfect for the variety of pistes and I was lucky with the ski-in and out accommodation. The restaurants were at high standards and decent apres. Some of the beginner pistes were overcrowded but the higher you go up the quieter it became. Good amount of grocery shops and some decent sized ones too which is sometimes hard to get in ski resorts. Overall, I had a good week of skiing with lots of fun as an experienced skier.

Went in mid March, snow was still pretty good. Ski pass allows to access all 3 valleys so plenty of skiing and its nice to explore other towns. Really enjoyed going to Orelle.

Ive skied at Les Menuires late in the season for the last 3 years. There is a great choice of runs from blues to reds. The lifts connect many runs and the whole Of the 3 Valleys. There are some stunning views and plenty of choice for food and apres. Highly recommended
