Snow-Sure Slopes: The Climate and When to Go
Thanks to its high altitude (1850m) and its position in the heart of the Alps, Les Menuires boasts a fantastic snow record.
The Season: The lifts typically crank into action from early December and run right through to late April.
Best Time to Visit: For the best combination of reliable snow cover and sunny days, you can't beat January and March. January is often colder with fantastic powder, while March offers longer, sunnier days and superb spring skiing conditions. Christmas, New Year, and the February school holidays are prime time but expect more people on the slopes. April is fantastic for bargain hunters and those who love soft, forgiving spring snow.
Preparing for your holiday
Layer Your Clothing
Invest in a good layering system for your clothing to keep warm and dry on the slopes. Start with moisture-wicking base layers, followed by insulating mid-layers and finish with a waterproof outer shell to shield you from the elements.
Book Ski Passes in Advance
Buying your ski passes ahead of time can save you money and time on the slopes. Many resorts offer discounts for early bookings, so it’s worth looking into options before you arrive.
Schedule Time for Lessons
Consider booking a lesson, especially if you’re new to skiing or snowboarding. Even a short session can greatly improve your skills and confidence on the mountain, allowing you to enjoy your holiday that much more.
Check Your Equipment
Before heading out, ensure that your ski and snowboard equipment is in good condition. This includes checking your bindings, sharpening your edges, and making sure your boots fit comfortably.

Carve It Up: Slopes for Every Skier & Boarder
Les Menuires is a playground for all abilities, with two distinct mountainsides to explore.
Finding Your Feet in Paradise
01 - For the Beginners
Les Menuires is fantastic for first-timers. There are several dedicated, free-to-use magic carpet lifts right by the main resort hubs, allowing you to learn the basics without needing a lift pass. Once you're ready to progress, the "Easy Rider" pass gives you access to a network of gentle green and blue runs. The main beginner zone at the top of the Roc des 3 Marches gondola is wide, sunny, and perfect for building confidence with stunning views.
02 - For the Intermediates
Mileage Muncher's Dream
This is where Les Menuires truly shines.
You have two massive sectors to explore. The west-facing slopes towards Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and Méribel are drenched in afternoon sun and offer a huge network of cruising blue and red runs. Don't miss the famous Jerusalem piste – a long, rolling red that's an absolute joy to ski. On the other side, the Pointe de la Masse sector offers incredible north-east facing slopes, meaning the snow stays in perfect condition. It used to be an expert's secret, but a new network of blue runs means intermediates can now ski from the very top to the bottom, enjoying quieter pistes and epic scenery.
03 - For the Experts & Freestylers
Unleash the Beast
Ready to test your legs? Head straight for the black runs off the top of La Masse – they are genuinely steep, challenging, and often have fantastic snow. For powder hounds, Les Menuires has three designated "Liberty Ride" zones – these are patrolled but ungroomed off-piste areas, perfect for enjoying fresh powder in a safer environment. For park rats, the Pixel Area has a snowpark with kickers and rails for all levels (XS to L) and a fantastic boardercross track to race your mates on. And of course, with a full Three Valleys pass, the legendary couloirs of Courchevel and the off-piste of Val Thorens are just a couple of lifts away.
Beyond the Pistes: Top 3 Activities
Roc'n Bob Toboggan Run
This is no ordinary sledging. It's a thrilling 4km toboggan run on a track, complete with twists, turns, and squeals of delight. You take the Roc des 3 Marches gondola up and slide all the way down. Absolutely brilliant fun for all ages.
Pointe de la Masse
Take the super-modern gondola up to the Pointe de la Masse at 2,804m. The 360-degree panoramic view from the top is one of the best in the entire Three Valleys, offering breathtaking views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding peaks. There’s a fantastic restaurant up there too.
The Sports Centre
The leisure centres in the La Croisette and Les Bruyères districts are perfect for a bad weather day or for soothing tired muscles. With swimming pools, spas, soft play, and fitness centres, there's plenty to keep everyone entertained.
