Chalet Sapiniere III, Les Ménuires

Sitting just below Val Thorens, Les Menuires is a ski-in, ski-out resort in the vast Three Valleys ski area, offering direct access to over 600km of interconnected slopes at excellent value. Purpose-built with convenience in mind, it combines modern, functional design with plenty of wooden and stone-clad buildings, giving it a more traditional alpine feel than many similar resorts.

The skiing here is extensive and well suited to all levels, with easy links into the wider Three Valleys network including Méribel, Courchevel and Val Thorens. Beginners benefit from dedicated learning areas close to the village, while intermediates and advanced skiers can explore a huge range of varied terrain across the world’s largest ski area.

Après-ski is lively and varied, with a strong selection of restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs spread across the resort. There’s also a good range of evening experiences, including a memorable piste basher dinner trip up the mountain to a remote wooden chalet.

Off the slopes, Les Menuires offers plenty of ways to unwind or have fun, from snowmobiling and mountain coasters to a leisure centre with a swimming pool and mountain views, making it a well-rounded option for families and groups alike.
