Les Menuires is located halfway between Val Thorens and St Martin de Belleville and has incredibly easy access to the rest of the extensive slopes of the Three Valleys.

Two lifts whisk you to the crossing points over to the Méribel Valley, from which the entire ski area opens up. Most of the lifts are fast, but note that you will need to queue at peak holiday times. The local slopes are mostly rated blue, so if you’re a more advanced skier or boarder you may want to look elsewhere. If it is busy, the Pointe de la Masse zone to the west is a great option as it often sees lower levels of skier traffic.

The village is not the prettiest and is dominated by large apartment blocks, however recent efforts to improve the aesthetics have helped and more modern developments are much nicer. That being said, the resort is very convenient, with loads of slopeside accommodation and a good selection of bars, shops and restaurants for a resort of its size. Everything is generally better value here than at nearby resorts, making this a good option if you’re looking to save a few euros. Getting here takes around 2.5 hours from Geneva if there’s no traffic.

Crowded slopes and lift queues can be a problem

Green Credentials

Ski Club Recognised: Environmentally Sustainable Resort

The Ski Club uses third party independent assessments and accreditation of ski resorts to determine a resort “environmentally sustainable” – more information can be found here.

As part of the French Flocon Vert (tr. Green Snowflake) scheme, Les Menuires – as part of the wider Belleville commune including St Martin and Val Thorens – has been awarded one snowflake out of a possible three, representing investment in resources to reduce its environmental impact. Flocon Vert is an independent scheme operated by Mountain Riders, which accredits resorts in France who have met twenty criteria based on environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Les Menuires and the Belleville valley was first accredited in 2022
The ecological governance of the resort drew particular attention, including preserving several rare natural habitats
A comprehensive package of support is in place to support diversification of the local economy

Snow Overview

France

Updated 24/01

The weekend opens partial sunny across France, but temperatures drop and conditions turn more unsettled as a large low pressure area follows Storm Eowyn across the northwest corner of Ireland and the United Kingdom. This will bring excellent snowfall across the French Alps for most of Sunday and the new week.

Starting Sunday, at least 15cm is expected down across higher ground every day until at least Wednesday, the end of our forecasting period. THis will spike to a foot down each of Tuesday and Wednesday. However, the freezing line drops from its current norm of around 2,000m to 1,000m on Monday, ensuring this snow will reach all elevations.

Expect the avalanche forecast to tick up over the coming days – this new snowfall is falling on a persistent weak layer, on a relatively smooth bed surface after a consistent period without fresh snowfall; the high quantities of new snowfall will elevate the risk from these factors across the mountain. Please check your local avalanche forecast and plan all off piste and backcountry travel carefully.
