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.

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.
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!
Lifts were modern and well maintained.
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.
Of the 3 Valleys. There are some stunning views and plenty of choice for food and apres.
Highly recommended
It takes less than 45 mins by ski to get to the centre of VT where the skiing is possibly the best in Europe.
It's a gorgeous ski to Meribel and Courcheval too.
Les Menuires is a fantastic spot if you're looking for unbelievable skiing on a budget. Great accommodation options and decent enough restaurants.
Would recommend.
The park is small and only for low level riders.
This is a great resort for the whole family.
Would highly recommend
Esf is now very child friendly and so are the lift attendants .
