Built for ski-in/ski-out: most apartments and hotels in the central Croisette and Reberty areas open straight onto the snow.
High and snow-sure at 1,850 m, Les Menuires is a family workhorse: ski-in/ski-out apartments, gentle nursery slopes at La Croisette and direct access to the Val Thorens and Méribel sides. The newer Reberty and Les Bruyères quarters are prettier and quieter than the original 1960s core.
