Les Menuires

Overview of Les Menuires Ski Resort 

You’ll find on your Les Menuires ski holiday that the resort is one of the big hitters in the 3 Valleys, the world’s largest lift-linked ski area. It is located in the Belleville Valley with Val Thorens, the highest resort in Europe, above, and St Martin de Belleville, with which Les Menuires is jointly promoted, below. The next valley over is that of Meribel, and beyond it, the Courchevel Valley.

As with most of the large French purpose-built ski areas, Les Menuires dates from the 1960s, and began operating with a lot of concrete architecture which was modern then but is popularly regarded as ugly now. But in the intervening near 50 years the resort has expanded, spawning a number of districts with lots of new development, much of it considered far more architecturally attractive, especially the chalet-style Reberty development which is something of a British enclave. A network of free shuttle buses link the various sectors off the slopes.

Unlike Courchevel with its hotels and Meribel with its chalets, Les Menuires accommodation is mostly apartments, and its clientele has a higher proportion of French guests than any other ski resort in the 3 Valleys - although you’ll still hear plenty of English voices here.
