The Skiers' Guide to Les Menuires

The resort had done an amazing job with the pistes considering it hadn't snowed for a month at the start of the trip. Not much closed and very little ice. The children loved ski school and ESF were very encouraging.

Fab resort to visit!
I loved the runs around Les Menuires, and a bit quieter than the rest of VT (except maybe the glacier on snow day).
There were some very sweet restaurants we only ventured out for pizza but would’ve happily eaten out every evening with the range.
On mountain, one of our favourite lunches was at L’altitude great food and cozy vibes. Also really enjoyed taking Roc1 lift for apres at Roc Seven.
Ski school was fab for our two eldest they came on so much and hats off to the ski instructors brave enough to get the Huskies doing a gnarly red run.
Les Menuires is much more picturesque than the rest of VT and it was so well positioned to get to Meribel I wouldn’t have wanted to be anywhere else.

Fantastic week skiing at Easter. Started with lots of greenery off the slopes and ended with a huge dump of snow that meant excellent skiing until the end of the season. Slopes were good even at the start of the holiday when you could get to St-Martin for a couple of days before the bottom run was shut - but still really good skiing from mid-station up. Enjoyed coffee at the restaurant by the St-Martin gondola. La Masse offers great skiing early in the morning before it gets too busy and well worth a couple of laps first thing. Then there is so much choice across the Three Valleys - although at the end of Easter it wasn't possible to get all the way over to the far side of Courchevel. A good selection of restaurants at the main lift station and lots of opportunities to buy cheap clothing and equipment in the Easter sales. Highly recommended for a late season break!

Not a huge number of runs specifically in this area but access to three valleys which is fantastic.
Apres not the best - much better apres at Val Thorens.

Lots of variety of runs, you will never get bored! Three valleys pass is a must if you want to profit from the whole area, great if weather is better in another valley.

Good value location in the 3 Vallées. Good lift access to Meribel, Courchevel, Val Thorens. Slopeside accommodation or adjacent options good.

The multi sporty complex by the police station is the central location from which you are in walking distance of most places in town. Staff in restaurants at the main lift area all had great English skills.

the ski area is massive, each day comes with different slopes and challenges. best at less peak times like jan/begining of feb to avoid large ques

Great access to les 3 valles, but in a more quieter family oriented area. Stayed at an excellent ski in ski out catered chalet, but would be better if there was more going on apres ski options and livelier evenings. Runs around were relatively quiet and great snow.

Great place perfect for the three valleys very varied skiing and easy to escape the crowds. Would come every year

Many of the green runs were narrow and followed on from blues and reds leading to high and fast traffic, not ideal for beginners or snowboarding. Blue runs were generally alot better for boarding.

Fantastic resort, very good amenities, excellent ski school and the best place to have a brilliant ski holiday.

Les Menuires is right in the middle of the Trois Vallées, so is the perfect spot to easily get to any of the resorts. One lift can take you high enough to ski to pretty much anywhere in the entire ski area. It’s not as lively as the other resorts, but is perfect for a family ski trip. We were there in April, and had a metre of powder snow fall during our trip! Before that, it was still fine, as it’s such a high resort. We’ve also been several times in January, and it’s always amazing. There is a huge variety of runs l that cater to every ability level, particularly loads of blue cruisers. We’ve never queued for more than 5 minutes, even for the first lifts.

We had passes to the 3 valleys and loved all of the runs, though we did only stick to blues mostly, Jerusalem was easily the best run across the 3 valleys. Would also definitely recommend a ski in, ski out type of accommodation.

Central 3 valley location, good altitude and snow record. Good access to Val Thorens for high altitude snow.

Wonderful magical place, I would recommend it to everyone! I had the best time 2 years in a row! It is hard to get there, and it can last over 10h, however it is so worth it!

Les Menuires still retains a very French feel and a lot of the accommodation is in high rise blocks.
It is in the middle of its particular valley, giving good acces to neighbouring ski resorts.
It tends to be cheaper than its popular neighbour Val Thorens, but accommodation can be booked out during French holidays, especially in February.
There are many apartments, some hotels and chalets.
There are a good variety of bars and restaurants, with a Folie Douce up at Val Thorens, which can be reached by skiing.
The resort has a very family feel to it.
The skiing is good for beginners and intermediates, with more challenging runs up at Val Thorens. Val Thorens also has the height to virtual guarantee skiing.
Further down the valley is St Martin de Belleville which is a more traditional village, growing in popularity - it can be reached either by skiing or bus
Further skiing is available in Les Trois Valleys, a vast network, linking into Meribel and Courchevel valleys. There are a huge number of piste options and difficulties, not to mention off-piste and even couloir skiing, some of which can be easily accessed from the piste.

It is nestled between Meribel and Val Thorens. A quite ski village within the 3 valleys. Brilliant for families who are staying in kitchen apartment with good selection of convenience stores. However limited restaurant options that is to our taste.

Les Menuires is great place to kick off your morning to anywhere. Many ski-in/ski-out accommodation with fair prices. Just bring many clothes as washing and drying options are limited depending on your accommodation.

Great resort prices aren’t too bad pistes are mint loved it partner said instructor was great went for 0 to red runs in 2 days
