Forecast today: Clear skies
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.

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.

Spring conditions dominate across the French Alps, with high pressure bringing fine, dry and bright conditions throughout this week. Freezing overnight temperatures give way to warmth int he midday sun, as the freezing line yo-yos from 500m to 2,000m in a typical spring freeze-thaw.
This oscillation will slowly flatten over the course of this week as cloud moves into the region, settling on a pivot around 1,000m. This will bring with it a few flurries of snow into the weekend, with a useful 5cm falling across upper slopes.
Cloud begins to give way to this spring freeze-thaw sunshine again as the new week begins.
