A brief overview
The enormity of the Three Valleys ski area without the added
expense; Les Menuires is by far the most reasonably priced of all. With its own
local nursery slopes it's a good resort for beginners and families, whilst
intermediates and advanced will enjoy exploring the fast links up the mountain
into Val Thorens and onwards into the infamous, 600km Three Valleys area. Those
looking to experience the magnitude of this ski area without the glitz and
extravagancy of some of the other resorts will find Les Menuires a perfect
compromise.
