LES MENUIRES, A MODERN AND ACCESSIBLE RESORT

While some resorts in Les 3 Vallées are famous for their picturesque charm, Les Menuires is known for its striking modernist architecture.

Created in 1964 as part of France’s plan to create new, high-altitude ski areas, the resort is dotted with seventies-style buildings. From Savoyard-inspired chalets to high-class residences, Les Menuires’s architectural style creates an individual character that is unique in Les 3 Vallées.

FIVE DISTRICTS TO EXPLORE... AND MORE

Les Menuires offers five districts for you to explore: La Croisette, Preyerand, Les Fontanettes, Grand Reberty and Les Bruyères.

From La Croisette, the heart of the resort at 1,850m, it is only a short step to the four other districts! Wherever you decide to stay, you can easily get around the resort thanks to the free buses, public lifts and walking paths.

If you want to go big, it’s easy to reach the neighbouring resorts of the largest ski area in the world without even taking off your skis, thanks to the high altitude 3 Valleys links. Head to Mont de la Chambre, which rises to 2,800m, to take in the immensity of this open-air playground!

A FAMILY RESORT BY NATURE

It is never too early to introduce children to the delights of the mountains, which is why Les Menuires has thought of everything.

Holder of the “Famille Plus” quality award, the resort has all that families could require: an XXL “Piou Piou” children’s ski village, 2 nurseries, and many different play areas. The family-friendly atmosphere is sure to nurture children’s passion for skiing!

France’s best ESF (French Ski School) is located here too. Why not take advantage of this to treat yourself to a fantastic outing with an instructor while your little ones are learning? You can even try the Liberty Ride areas (with or without a guide) to enjoy the pleasures of powder snow in complete safety.
