Description

Les Menuires is a great base in which to explore the Three Valleys without breaking the budget. Lots of slopeside accommodation is on offer allowing you to access the slopes as quickly as possible in order to explore the Three Valleys area.

The town allows direct access to the pistes, and lies at an altitude of 1,850 m. The lovely chalets, constructed of wood and stone, and reasonably priced compared to its famous neighbour, have won the town a lot of attraction during the last few years. Here you can enjoy all amenities that put together a successful holiday: snowy pistes, diverse recreational possibilities, such as the large sports and spa centre covering a 4,500 m² large area, as well as a huge gastronomic offer are waiting to be discovered!

Part of the famous "Trois Vallées" - these are the Belleville, Courchevel and the Méribel Valleys! Together they form the world's largest interconnected ski area with a snow-sure maximum altitude of 3,300 m. The high-alpine surroundings, exceptionally long and varied pistes, as well as a large variety of freerider possibilities and snow parks ensure this region to be an incomparable skiing experience! The resorts in the 3 valleys all have different characters - from charming to sophisticated. However for a while now the typical chalet and apartment houses tend to dominate the resorts charming appearance. The lift connection between the 3 valleys is ideal: you have direct access to the entire ski region, including Europe's highest located ski station at 2,300 m. Les Menuires - gateway to the Three Valleys!
