AMAZING SKI CHALETSLes Menuires
WEsayLarge, sunny purpose-built resort allowing skiing in the giant Trois Vallees without the cost of staying in the likes of Courchevel and Meribel. A great family base.
Set at 1815m and 1850m respectively Les Menuires provides great snow conditions and a convenient, good value foothold in the largest ski area in the world, the Trois Vallees. As well as easy access to the 600km of piste in this area, Les Menuires has much to offer in its own right. Les Menuires has its own challenging and uncrowded ski area on the 2850m Pointe de le Masses.
Going further afield intermediates will find it easy to access the blue and red runs of Val Thorens via the Etele chair lift. From the challenging blacks and the glacier in Val Thorens to the extensive off-piste throughout the Three Valleys, experts will keep busy and find virtually unlimited challenges. For boarders there is a snow park in Val Thorens and an extensive lift system offers access to the Three Valleys for never ending variety.
Après-ski activities here are focussed on the sports centre in Les Menuires which has a pool, jacuzzi and sauna as well as facilities for squash, table tennis, basketball and much more. Although most visitors opt for Les Menuires and Reberty because they are generally quieter than their larger neighbours, there is still enough decent nightlife to keep everyone entertained, with several bars and nightclubs.
An alternative after-dark activity is night time tubing which takes place on two 200m pistes equipped with a moving carpet.
