About Les Menuires
Les Menuires is a high-altitude resort at 1,800m in the Belleville valley that offers the full 600km Trois Vallées ski area at significantly lower prices than its more famous neighbours Courchevel and Val Thorens. Once dismissed for its utilitarian 1970s architecture, recent investment has transformed the resort with a new village heart and improved accommodation, making it one of the best-value entry points to the world's largest ski domain.
