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 11/03

The sunshine in France has come to an abrupt end today, as an large and continued period of unsettled weather moves in across the Alps over the back end of this week. Precipitation has followed cloud across the area, falling initially as rain but, as the temperatures drops overnight, turning to snow. Around 10cm is expected down on Wednesday, and snow will continue across the remainder of this week – anther 10cm on Thursday, and 5cm on Friday.

Temperatures will steadily drop over the course of this week -with the freezing line falling to close to sea level – so that by Thursday this snow will reach down to all elevations. This is especially needed for lower resorts below 1,500m, who are hanging on to the last threads of winter snow following a steady baking in spring sunshine.

A brief period of more steady weather sees a return of some sunshine over the weekend, before more snow is scheduled for next week.
