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.

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 24/03

What must be the first Nordstau event of the year hits the Alps over the course of this week, bringing a return to winter conditions across much of the Northern French Alps. The freezing line will decline through the middle of this week, dropping close to sea level overnight Thursday into Friday.

At the same time, northerly unsettled conditions working their way in across Central and Eastern Europe brings snowfall to many areas north of the Briancon-Gap line. Over higher ground this could see as much as a foot-and-a-half through Wednesday evening and into Thursday; as the freezing line declines over this period, snow will work its way down to lower elevations, but the best conditions will remain above 2,000m.

A brief pause in the snowfall over Saturday still sees cloudy conditions dominating; a few more flurries move in over higher ground on Sunday, as the freezing line recovers to around 2,000m. The long term forecast then calls for sun and fine, dry and bright conditions to dominate as high pressure returns to the area.
