The resorts spa hotel and chalets offer both beauty packages and therapeutic treatments, such as hydro massages. Day trips include tours of the local Baroque sites, the charming village of St. Martin de Belleville (great for lunch), and the resorts of Val Thorens, Courchevel and Meribel.  The village has been designed for skiers' convenience, with plenty of ski-in/ski-out accommodation and a compact centre, and good transportation within the different quarters. The main quarters are La Croisette and Les Bruyeres, which offer the bulk of the shops and facilities. 

 

Good choice throughout the resort, with many rustic and traditional chalets serving hearty Savoyard specialties, casual cafes for lunch and dinner, and highly-rated gourmet restaurants and Michelin-starred establishments.

The town is not known for its nightlife, and the atmosphere in Les Menuires is quiet and laid-back. There are choices of local and skier’s bars, offering pool tables and live music, as well as two late-night discos.
