Les Menuires Ski Resort France
Lying just below Val Thorens, Les Menuires ski resort is a great place to base your skiing holiday with plenty to offer beginners on the lower slopes and the whole of the Three Valleys ski area to satisfy intermediate and advanced skiers. The village itself is purpose-built and extremely convenient for skiers thanks to the wide range of ski-in ski-out accommodation.
Les Menuires ski resort itself has 160km of sunny local slopes, perfect for first-time skiers and beginners. You can access 600km of piste if you buy a full Three Valleys lift pass. The possibilities are endless with Meribel, Courchevel and nearby Val Thorens all linked. This makes Les Menuires ski resort a great destination for mixed ability groups or families.
If you want to ski the Three Valleys at a reasonable price, Les Menuires ski resort is the best choice. The ski area is at your doorstep. It’s also a quieter option than the neighbouring ski resorts. Perfect if you want to unwind after a long day's skiing.
In addition to this, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to enjoy after the lifts have closed. There are a few nightclubs on offer, however, in general, the après ski scene here is slightly more laid back compared to some of the other ski resorts nearby.
The village is mostly apartment blocks. It is very convenient with direct access to the slopes, plenty of shops and a good choice of places to eat. There are also fantastic views to admire on and off the slopes.
The reasonably short transfer time from Chambery Airport is another plus. Depending on flight timings, you can squeeze in some extra skiing before heading home. Especially as you ski back to the accommodation with ease.

We recommend Le K for some upmarket dining and creative dishes, or La-Haut who serve meat dishes and great classic cuisines like fondue, raclette and tartiflette. On the mountain we suggest trying out Le Grand Lac, who offer up big hearty lunches at reasonable prices, L’Antigel has a large sunny terrace and serves brilliant lamb gratin and Beaufort tart.
Après Ski in Les Menuires
Les Menuires ski resort isn’t as lively as its neighbours but you can still have a party here and there. Après ski away the day in Val Thorens' La Folie Douce, and then ski your way back down to Les Menuires or alternatively get a low-cost bus back from there. Head to Le Kube for a more relaxed vibe with fantastic cocktails. At the foot of the slopes, you’ll find Le Plan B who are open from 10am to 2am, offering après and late-night music.
Non-Skiers
There has been plenty of investment over the last few years in non-ski activities and with so many different sections of the resort, each with their own character, non-skiers will have plenty to keep themselves occupied while in town. Paragliding, or Parapenting as it’s known in France, is a great way to see the mountains. But if you'd prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground, there is plenty of snowshoeing, tobogganing and cross-country skiing available in the resort.
