Winter sports holiday in the village Les Menuires
Les Menuires is a popular winter sports resort in the French Alps. Thanks to its many hours of sunshine, the village is known as ‘the smile of the Alps’. With its central location in Les Trois Vallées, Les Menuires is the ideal base for exploring no fewer than 373 miles of slopes during your ski vacation.
Les Menuires consists of an older and a more modern section. Preyerand-La Croisette forms the original center and mainly consists of high-rise buildings. The newer part, Reberty Village and Les Bruyères, has an attractive chalet style with plenty of wood and natural stone. In both areas, you will find shops, restaurants, cafés, and a range of facilities, such as a fitness center with sauna and an indoor pool.
Reberty Village is located directly on the slopes, making it an excellent location for a comfortable ski-in ski-out vacation in Les Menuires. Thanks to its cozy atmosphere, this part of Les Menuires is also very popular with families. For young winter sports enthusiasts, there is a children’s park and there are also three special sledding runs in the village.
Besides skiing and snowboarding, there are also other winter activities available in the area, such as dog sledding and snowmobile tours. A real highlight is the Roc’n Bob, a 2.2-mile sledding run that starts at the top lift station.
