Ed Leighs Money Savings Tips whilst visiting Les Menuires

What's it like at Les Menuires resort?

Les Menuires is a small village resort that offers a cheap way to ski in Les 3 Vallées. The 3 valley ski area is huge and will keep you amused for more than a week, it also offers something for everyone with over 600km of piste waiting to be explored. Access to the other resorts is quick and convenient and you can ski to you door in most places. Off the slopes the village at Les Menuires lacks the mountain charm of Meribel and Mottaret and the shopping malls are somewhat gloomy. Les Menuires does however provide more than adequate services for the skier and there is a good selection of restaurants. Night life is lively with a host of bars and discos. Les Menuires is the cheapest resort in the 3 valley complex.

Well, been coming to 3V, in particular Les Menuires, for some time now (approx 7 yrs). Over that time i've seen many new apartments and chalets going up. Some of them are rather nice accomm. The downside, however, is that they have not invested in lift system out of town to the same extent. The result being that during the main holiday periods you can waste a good hour getting out of town to a 3V liaison point, which used to be done in about 15 mins. All well and good except on a powder day. Can be rather frustrating particularly with the infamous French approach to queues. That said, once you're up and away its 3V which is a massive and great area with superb terrain on and off-piste.
