What Skiers Say About Les Menuires

Les Menuires is primarily reviewed by intermediate and advanced skiers who value its central position in the Three Valleys system, allowing easy access to Méribel, Val Thorens, and Courchevel. Most users highlight the extensive skiing options, efficient lift system, and significantly lower accommodation costs compared to neighbouring resorts. The resort is consistently described as family-friendly with good ski schools, though many note the purpose-built architecture lacks charm and the après-ski scene is quieter than Val Thorens or Méribel. Several reviewers mention busy pistes during peak periods, particularly school holidays, and crowded runs at the base of the resort.

I have been to Les Menuiers twice now and I think is a great resort for beginners and all levels. It has a good selection of shops and food as well as a wellness centre and spa. Would definitely go again!

Les Menuires is a great resort, plenty of options for eating. Good access to wider 3V skiing. Pointe de La Masse great viewing area.

Good ski school options for children.

Can get busy in poor weather when the links are not open. As mainly alpine terrain and lack of trees suffers in poor visibility a bit.

Plenty of apres options and restauraunts. Recommend RocSeven at top of Roc 1 lift.

We stayed in chalet du soleil in Les Menuires. Beautiful place and great runs, its pretty high resort (2100m or so) so we had good reliable snow. Great wide runs for beginners and instructors good. Only thing is that there were only 2/3 restaurants where we were staying and you had to travel a bit to get to apres. Next time I would choose meribel or Val thorens for a bit more of a vibe.

Les menuires is a great family friendly resort. Great for first time boarder/skier or beginners.
Slopes are quiet a lot of the time and rarely queues of more than 5-7 mins at lifts.sone great places to eat at altitude as well as as base. Being park of the 3 valleys ski domain you have access to other resorts such as Val Thorens, Meribel, Meribel mottaret, Courchavel, Lan Tania within minutes via the excellent three valley connections.

Les Menuires is a quiet resort but very close to the busier Val Thorne. We stayed in a ski-in-out hotel. Lifts were very fast. We managed to ski the entire three valleys in a day. Lots of green and blue runs for beginners. I managed to do my very ever black runs on this trip. Slopes are huge and lots of space

Les Menuires is a really family friendly resort, with a great range of pistes and access to the 3 Vallées. Although not the prettiest resort, its convenience and atmosphere makes up for it. And you can just pop over the mountain to the prettier Meribel or Courcheval resorts for a fix of tree lined runs and traditional resort appeal.
I love it!

I normally ski the Feb half term and considering the vast number of people there at that time it really feels overwhelming
But snow conditions obviously suffer

Last season I went out for last week and was rewarded with 1M deep power and well groomed runs
I often ski in excess of 20 miles a day there really using the same run more than once

So in short it has something for everyone regardless of ability
Some weeks are better with family and some with mates or the people you meet on the slopes and lifts

Le Menuires is a family resort, somewhat dated but good value and under rated. All 7 grandchildren have learnt to ski there. Having skied for 60 years in various places around the World, Le Menuires is now the place I return to every year for anything from 1 week to 5 weeks, simply because I can ski in a vast area with all that I need to suit my ability.

The resort is in the Trois Vallee region. In the Le Menuires Valley you have rapid access to Val Thorens (highest resort in France) all the way down the mountain to St Martin de Bellville and of course the 4th Valley at the south side of Val Thorens.

From Le Menuires you have access to Meribel and Courchevel.

For every standard there are numerous, Green, Blue, Red and Black runs and Off - Piste opportunities.

The shops are helpful and friendly. Restaurants and cafes are plentiful with choices of menu. It is more of a family resort, unlike Val Thorens and much more open than Merbel around the village. A regular connects the resort from the top at Grand Reberty down to Preyerand.

There are a numerous types of accommodation: Chalets, Appartments and Studious with easy access and links to and from the slopes.

All in all, a good Family resort that has been catering for skiers and Families since at least 1980 and has expanded to provided unlimited skiing.

Les Menuires has a good selection of beginner slopes although generally they are the final routes into the resort. So if you are a genuine beginner the. You run the risk of being intimidated or indeed injured by aggressive idiot skirmers who ski inappropriately on the green and blue runs. Having said that some effort has been made to segregate true beginners from more advanced skiers. And sadly this is a global problem. Not exclusive to Les Menuires. Further afield there is a huge selection of on and off piste runs throughout the wider 3V network. The lift network is extensive and its generally possible and easy to pick your route around the resort and neighbouring valleys to expeditors your transit and avoid queues if you n ow where to go. Theres a good selection of restaurants. Some gems and others that are less so. Prices are not particularly wallet friendly but again thats a global problem. At the end of the day the resort offers something for everyone and all abilities. Its a must visit resort.

Les menuires is a great family resort with a very French feel. Huge area and centrally positioned in the three valleys for access to the other resorts. Good range of types of accommodation and a lot of self cater apartments.
It is however fairly quiet in the evenings due to its family bias.

Overall runs are brilliant - if conditions are good there are plenty of off piste sections especially in the Ponte de la masse run and sections through val-thorens. Overall for the skiing the 3 vallées are brilliant. Loads of good food around the resort and obviously good apres at folie douce and loads of other places.
