If you're all about skiing and snowboarding, and aren't concerned with a vast array of bars and shopping, Les Menuires in France is a brilliant choice for you.
It doesn't carry the price tag of the other Three Valley's resorts either, but it does have all of the convenience - as many of the places to stay here are close to the slopes.
Les Menuires is quite quiet compared to other Three Valley resorts, so the choice of bars, clubs and restaurants is smaller - but still great. Our flagship hotel, the Neilson Hotel Le Menuire & Spa, is very comfortable and has a lovely pool and spa area.

NEILSON MOUNTAIN COLLECTION
Our hotel in Les Menuires
Ski the infamous Three Valleys in France and stay right in the heart of it all at our chalet hotel. With postcard-worthy views and impressive spa, whats not to love here.
On the mountain
Les Menuires sits in the midst of the largest lift-linked ski area in the world. It has the most skiing of all the Three Valleys resorts, with 160km of mainly blue or green runs.
Families and beginners are well provided for, with a superb carpet conveyor lift and gentle slopes in the Croisette area. The closest black runs are on La Masse - try the Bouquetin, Dame Blanche or the off-piste run down into Orelle for some real challenges. It's definitely worth hiring a guide and transceivers for that!
