Perched at an altitude of 1,850 meters in the heart of the Tarentaise Valley, Les Menuires is a vibrant, family-friendly resort known for its exceptional “ski-in, ski-out” convenience. As part of the world-renowned 3 Vallées ski area, it offers a diverse atmosphere across its distinct districts—from the bustling center of La Croisette to the more traditional, chalet-style charm of Reberty and Les Bruyères. Its high altitude ensures excellent snow cover throughout the winter season, making it a favorite for enthusiasts and families alike.
Les Menuires is located in the Savoie department of the French Alps. It sits perfectly between the traditional village of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and the high-altitude peaks of Val Thorens. The resort is approximately 100 km from Albertville and serves as a central gateway to over 600 km of interconnected runs.
The resort is accessible via the A430 motorway to Albertville, followed by the N90 to Moûtiers. For those arriving by rail, the Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains train station is the primary gateway, located just 27 km (about 40 minutes) from the resort.
