Les Menuires in Les 3 Vallées

For the winter 2012/13 season we are welcoming the new easy access 6 seater chairlift from La Masse to Rebertyas a replacement of the old bucket chair lift. The new lift will carry up to 2600 people per hour.

Les Menuires is split into 3 main levels.

The highest level is Reberty, at the centre there is Croisette and at the lowest part of the resort is Preyerand. All have a selection of shops, bars and restaurants.

The village has been created to keep cars out of the way and offers one of the best family spots in the 3 Vallées ski area.

La Croisette is where the lift leaves for Val Thorens and Meribel.

There is a free shuttle bus that runs though out Les Menuires, which operates from 8am to 11pm.

A bus runs between Moutiers, Saint Martin, Les Menuires and Val Thorens everyday.
