Presentation

Les Menuires isn’t just about the joy of skiing down the slopes. We also think of those who want to take a break, discover the mountain differently, or explore another side of the resort before enjoying their ski pass. And if some members of your group don’t ski, don’t worry—there’s plenty to keep them entertained! From unique activities and moments of relaxation to outdoor adventures, we’ve planned everything to fill your non-ski days with excitement. Here are 7 ideas to fully enjoy Les Menuires, even without putting on your skis.

1. Embrace precision and adrenaline with biathlon

Think this sport is reserved for seasoned skiers? Think again! Biathlon is an original activity combining physical effort and concentration.
Open to participants from age 8, this initiation invites you to learn shooting techniques using laser or pellet rifles. Every afternoon, head to the Bruyères lake, a picturesque spot surrounded by mountains.
Over six 2-hour sessions, you’ll learn to master your breathing, precision, and nerves while soaking in the unique atmosphere of snow-capped peaks.

2. Join the Ski Patrol Experience: become a pisteur for a day

For an out-of-the-ordinary activity, children aged 7 to 14 will love the Ski Patrol Experience. This immersive program will turn them into little pisteurs for a day.
Located in Preyerand, this 3,300 m² area introduces kids to behind-the-scenes mountain work through fun and educational workshops. Avalanche rescue drills, mini snowmobile circuits, and helicopter evacuation simulations are just some of the activities designed to spark their curiosity while teaching essential mountain safety basics.
At the end of the day, each participant leaves with a medal and diploma as a testament to their achievements—a memorable experience your children will cherish forever!

3. Ascend the peaks with a pedestrian pass

The 3 Vallées domain isn’t just for skiers! If you feel more comfortable on your feet than on skis, you can still enjoy the fresh mountain air.
With the pedestrian pass, bookable with your accommodation, explore the heights via cable cars and chairlifts, then stroll along marked trails at your own pace. The views are breathtaking, and each summit offers a unique vibe—serene, panoramic, or perfect for a mountain-top lunch.
Whether you’re an amateur photographer or simply seeking pure mountain air, the pedestrian pass provides an easy, gentle way to enjoy the alpine landscape.

4. Discover the mountain on snowshoe walks, by day or night

For a deep connection with nature, snowshoeing is a must. During the day, set off to explore the pristine trails around La Croisette or Les Bruyères.
Accompanied by a guide, you’ll traverse untouched landscapes and hear captivating stories about the local wildlife and plant life.
In the evening, let yourself be enchanted by the magical ambiance of nighttime snowshoe walks. Beneath a star-filled sky, the stillness of the mountains becomes even more soothing.

5. Treat yourself to wellness at "Le Break"

Craving some pampering after a busy day? "Le Break", located in the lively Croisette area, is the ideal spot to unwind. This wellness center has everything you need to relax: sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, heated pool, and a relaxation room.

Whether you spend an hour or an entire afternoon, it’s a promise of absolute serenity. Perfect for recharging or simply enjoying some “me time.”

6. Retreat to a panoramic bubble for a timeless experience

"Le Trait d’Union" refuge, nestled at 1,750 meters altitude, is more than just accommodation. With its wood-heated Nordic bath and panoramic bubble sauna, it offers an unrivaled view of the snowy peaks.
Settle into this cozy haven and let the magic of the mountains take over. Come evening, enjoy a half-board meal in an intimate setting. This experience combines authenticity with comfort, perfect for a total disconnect.
