Les Menuires Ski Resort in 3 Valleys

Les Menuires, France

What if we tell you that you can ski in the largest ski area in the world for very little money? Especially if we compare it with the prices in the other resorts of the Trois Vallées? (Yes, we are lookiing at you, Méribel and Courchevel).

Les Menuires is often overshadowed by the powerful trio of Val Thorens, Méribel and Courchevel. Sharing its ski area with the latter two, staying here gives you access to 600 kilometres of world-famous slopes that have something for everyone. No one gives you more for less!

It may not be the prettiest or most luxurious resort in Les 3 Vallées, but it's certainly the gateway to the largest ski area at a laughable price. Besides, when you spend the day on the slopes and the nights in the après-ski, aesthetics are no longer a priority.
