Les Menuires Reviews & Ratings

Great trip, although we hit it during the end of the season, just before the April ski dump. So we had a bit of a struggle near the end of the week with snow near the bottom.

Location is well placed to be able to get into all the other resorts for the 3 valleys with a simple lift straight up. Price in comparison to the main resort locations was much cheaper for Accomodation. Food places and things like that were a bit more limited compared to them but still enough to be found around.

We had a nice ski in Accomodation but as mentioned about the snow, we had a few times having to walk up during the end of the week. Which is more bad timing by us as opposed to anything else. At the top though, there’s plenty to get around with if you’ve got a 3 valleys pass. You can stick to the central area or you can try to do a “round the world” trip of the whole resort through the course of a day if your pretty quick.

All together, decent price with great skiing. Lift pass prices are as expected for most big resorts in France but you can also get the local only one which is a bit cheaper. But if near the end of the season I’d definitely advise getting the 3 valley pass so you can stay high.

My first trip to Three Valleys. Fantastic ski area and lift system.
I managed to snowboard in all three valleys.
I will definitely go back

Happy hours everywhere so pints are much cheaper. In the the 3 vallée so great access to different resorts like val Thorens maribel lifts open till 6:30 so can enjoy a good drink and dance in val thrones before heading back over. Overall great experience friendly people and amazing slopes. 10/10 would go back. Snowboarders been warned a few flats between resorts but not bad ones as a newish snowboarder I could do them.

Good resort with good links and easy lifts across the 3 valleys. Not the best for Apres, but good variety of slopes and a bit quieter than higher up in Val Thorens.

I don’t think it’s the best option in the 3 valleys. Although cheaper - it was really difficult to get back after apres from val thorens and you were stuck there. Not very big and not many options around.

This resort is fantastic. We had a brilliant week here. Having skied at many different resorts across the alps, this one is definitely one to go back to!

all round options,good maintained slopes,satisfied by all means,3Valees area is amazing,i reccomend to visit it for sure

Brilliant ski in and ski out options for a fraction of the price of the other villages across the three valleys. Great access to high altitude options and varied apres options. Would 100% recommend, as also efficient to get to from Lyon, Geneva, Chambery and Grenoble

Much cheaper option than Val Thorens but better connections to the other parts of the three Valleys ski area. Quieter night life which suited our group. The village is massive but the great network of free buses is a massive bonus to get around. I would highly recommend the first tracks experience, going up on the lifts with the ski patrol and getting incredible fresh pistes and a lovely breakfast was epic. The evening safari was also really good. Roc 7 was our favourite place for Apres from where you can ski to anywhere in the resort and was less pretentious than the Folie in VT. Overall, having stayed in VT I prefer the less youthful more family relaxed vibe of Menuires.

Les Menuires is a better value option than the bigger Three Valley resorts.
Nice restaurant and good apres.

We went in Jan 25 and the snow and weather were amazing. Les Menuires has the best access to each of the valleys, we managed to ski to the far ends of the 3 valleys over a few days and still make it back before lifts close. and there's a good selection of runs in Les Menuires itself. Lifts are quite efficient at the bottom of Les Menuires. As with all resorts, runs at the very bottom of the valley like the fontanettes and where the Menuires meets La Violette get busy, so they can be hard if it's the first time you're skiing/snowboarding.

My partner and I stayed in Les Menuires this January for a week and we had a fantastic time. The extensive lift system means it is easy to travel around the pistes, and the 3 Valleys lift pass gave us access to a phenomenal ski area. We stayed in a self-catered apartment and there were several small supermarkets nearby so we could stock up on food and provisions for our stay. The shuttle bus system connected all areas of Les Menuires, which meant it was easy to get around, even whilst carrying skis/wearing boots. The slopes were well groomed and the lifts were almost always fully functional. We will definitely be returning!

The most beautiful and natural resort in the Three Valleys. Once away from the village centre, you hardly see any buildings, except for the lift buildings and restaurants. Some excellent long runs, with some sections very high, ensuring a long ski season. The lifts are great, picnic spots plentiful, and the loos the best in the Alps - clean, well-maintained, and even well-designed. Wonderful place to ski.

This is the 3rd time my partner and I (in our 30s and 40s have been here over 10 years). We like the ski in and ski out accommodation options, the friendliness of the resort and the amount of options to connect / ski easily to the other resorts in the 3 valleys. It might not be fancy but it doesn't matter! We're here to ski and have fun! Previous years there was a really bad issue with dog poo in the snow everywhere around the pedestrian areas but this year it seems so much better thank goodness! There are a decent amount of bars and restaurants to take your pic and some really easy takeaway pizza places that you can just grab a late night pizza within 10 mins and take back to your accommodation. The only issue is getting to and from the place usually as there seems to always be a problem with the main road from Chambery airport. If something happens there, then you're stuck for hours in traffic. Overall, this is a great resort for beginners / intermediate skiers. I'm intermediate and my partner is more advanced and he loves it as we can find a good mix that works well for both of us. It seems to be family friendly too.

The runs are amazing such a wide range of slopes for everyone, so much to ski lovely resort and very pretty

Incredible resort, our accommodation was amazing on a budget. Ski in ski out worked brilliantly provided you made last lift. Despite being one of the less known resorts in the 3 valleys, its amazing with a great variety of runs for beginners to incredible off piste for more advanced skiers. Really easy to get to other resorts in the 3 valleys. Beer could do with being a bit cheaper though

I stayed in this resort for the first time this year. There is a free ski bus that transports you up and down the road as the resort is somewhat spread out. There is a lot of ski in and ski out accommodation here we liked it because there were a lot of cruzy blue and green runs it has a huge ski area with something for all abilities. The food and beer were a little pricey, so be expecting this. We took a ski guide who was fantastic and showed us around the mountain so that we could make the most of our week. She also told us the best places to eat. We will be returning to this resort.

Access to three valleys ski area which has plenty of runs, suitable for all levels.Smaller resort, friendly and accommodating. Lots of options for eating out and good food - would recommend booking restaurants in advance if part of a big group. Pistes were well groomed, at times long waits for the main lifts but not worse than other resorts.

The loveliest ski resort Ive ever been to! Had so much snowboarding in January there, the weather was sunny and gorgeous, there was fresh snow on the slopes, it was busy but not overwhelmingly.

I had a great time in Les Menuires. I was there as my boyfriend is doing a season there but I would have liked to have been somewhere with better apres ski, better food and activity options and better nightlife.
