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.

Pros and cons

Fast access to the Three Valleys and recently upgraded access lifts
Lots of ski-in-ski-out accommodation
Lower prices than at most of the Three Valleys resorts

Resort is not the most picturesque
Some of the resort runs can suffer in the sunshine
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 15/04

Winter seemingly returns to the French Alps this week, with temperatures dropping and snow falling across many areas. After the freezing line peaks at 3,000m on Tuesday, this drops back to 1,750m across most of the French Alps on Wednesday and THursday, as unsettled weather and precipitation return to the region. This will bring a around a foot of snow to areas above this elevation through the middle of this week.

After a brief pause – which will see the odd fleck of sun and the freezing line climbing to 2,500m – the freezing line then takes a long walk off a short pier, plummeting to 500m overnight Saturday into Sunday. A belt of snow will hit the region, too, bringing around half-a-foot to most elevations. This will be an incredibly useful top up to lower elevations that have, perhaps, struggled in recent spring conditions.

High pressure means Sunday should be fairly clear, but more unsettled weather and snow moves in through the new week.
