Ski Holidays Les Menuires

At 1,850 metres, in the 3 Vallées, Les Menuires is organised into neighbourhoods, with La Croisette at the centre. For a rental in Les Menuires, the neighbourhood determines where you start skiing and how far you are from the shops.

La Croisette is the snow front, the shopping arcades and some of the ski-in/ski-out residences. Les Bruyères, towards Val Thorens, has its own ski school, a children's area and a rail toboggan. From Preyerand, the TéléPreyerand links to La Croisette for free, every day from 8 am to 11 pm: enough to spend the evening in the centre without a car. Free shuttles also link all the neighbourhoods.

Les Menuires has the Famille Plus label. Little ones start at the Club Piou-Piou from age 3, then move on to the Ourson and Flocon levels at around 4-5 years. Good skiers, for their part, go up to 2,800 metres on the Pointe de la Masse gondola, or cross over to Saint-Martin-de-Belleville on the Saint-Martin Express chairlift.

Our teams manage our accommodation in Les Menuires all year round and welcome you on arrival. The key handover point depends on the accommodation: it is shown on your voucher.

Advice from our Les Menuires agencies, updated in October 2026.

The Les Menuires ski area offers 160 km of runs between 1,300 and 2,850 metres, and nearly two runs out of three are green or blue.

From La Croisette, the Roc 1 gondola climbs to about 2,300 metres. Together with the Menuires chairlift, it leads to the green Violette and Montagnette runs, where people learn to ski. For the very first attempts, there are even runs reserved for beginners in front of the Aravis residence, in the centre of La Croisette.

If you already ski with confidence, we recommend two blue runs to see the area: Roc des 3 Marches, on the Mont de la Chambre side, with good exposure, and Jérusalem, quieter, on the Saint-Martin-de-Belleville side. The red Fred Covili run, on La Masse, is one of the best-known runs in Les Menuires.

Les Menuires is linked to the 3 Vallées. Val Thorens can be reached on skis via La Masse, La Tougnète or Mont de la Chambre, depending on the runs and lifts open, and the 3 Vallées ski pass also opens up Méribel and Courchevel.

Without skis, the pedestrian pass gives access to certain lifts. On the Pointe de la Masse gondola, you go up to 2,800 metres to a 360° panoramic terrace, and Roc 1 lifts you to about 2,300 metres.

The La Mine rail toboggan strings together 1,000 metres of twists and bends, from about age 5 with an adult. On the snow, the Roc'n Bob starts from the top of Roc 1, at 2,300 metres, and descends 4 km to La Croisette. For a break in the warm, the indoor leisure centre in La Croisette has a heated swimming pool with a fun pool, a bowling alley and a fun park.

To walk without a pass, on foot or on snowshoes, follow the marked trails around the Petit Lac or the climb to the Pas de Cherferie. There is also cross-country skiing, ski joëring in the valley and dog sledding.

In the centre of La Croisette, we recommend Burons or Dorons: the nursery and the snow garden are at the foot of the building, and some accommodation is 50 m from the slopes. They are mainly studios and 2-3 room apartments, for up to 6 people at Burons and 8 at Dorons. Les Lauzes, in a quiet spot about a hundred metres from the slopes, has been our least expensive residence in January over the last two winters.

In Les Bruyères, we recommend Les Chalets de l'Adonis if the ski school matters in your choice: it is 100 m from some accommodation, as are the slopes. The apartments there sleep up to 10 people, and pets are allowed in almost all of them.

Les Cristaux, in Preyerand, sleeps up to 14 people, with free access to the hammam and sauna and the skier boulevard 50 m from the building. In Grand Reberty, Chalet 2000 sleeps up to 12 people, with a spa and direct access to the slopes. At the Hameau des Airelles, in Preyerand, the large apartments sleep up to 8 people, and the whole residence enjoys the heated swimming pool.

By train, get off at Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-Saint-Jean, then go up by shuttle or transfer. By car, the road climbs from Moûtiers. Our three agencies, in La Croisette, Les Bruyères and Reberty 2000, are open every day, and our customers rate their welcome 4.5 out of 5.
