Ski area Les Menuires - Saint Martin

The "Les Menuires - St. Martin" lift pass gives you access to 150 kilometres of pistes and 28 lifts around St. Martin and Les Menuires. The ski area offers plenty of variety for both beginners and slightly advanced skiers and is very diverse. Some deep snow slopes are also waiting for their fans. The panorama is stunning, as the ski area includes several peaks close to the 3,000 metre mark, such as the Mont de la Chambre (2,850 m) or the Roc des 3 Marches (2,704 m).

At the Point de la Masse (2,804 m), there are some tricky descents such as the "Dame Blanche", as well as pleasure slopes such as the valley descent to St. Martin. There is the perfect descent for every ability level here. Les Menuires is also home to the longest descent in the 3 Vallées: the 12-kilometre descent from the summit of the Cime de Caron.

Ski tourers also get their money's worth, as several new and exciting routes have been added in recent years. In the same period, the ski resort has also invested tens of millions in improving the performance of its own lift facilities around the groomed pistes, which has led to shorter journey times and lower energy consumption in the interests of sustainability.

The ski area is also equipped with several cameras that can record your runs on various routes. You can do this in the new Pixel Area in the snowpark, for example. If you would like to take a selfie from the ski lift, you can do so effortlessly at the Saint Martin Express chairlift. Here you are photographed on the way up and can give free rein to your creativity.

If that's not enough, the "3 Vallées" lift pass upgrade gives you access to an incredible 600 kilometres of pistes with 156 lifts. On the slopes of the three picturesque valleys, which lead down to Moûtiers from the glaciated Vanoise massif with the Grande Casse (3,852 m) as the highest peak, a powder snow paradise covering a total area of 250 km² stretches out in a beautiful setting with a view of Mont Blanc. And before you start: enjoy the breathtaking view of more than 1,000 peaks in the Italian, Swiss and French Alps.

With the "Les 3 Vallées App", you can also find out about piste and ski lift openings/closings and the local weather at any time. Would you like to meet up for lunch at the hut? Use the app to share your location and see exactly where your friends and family are in the ski area. You also receive information and safety notifications directly on your smartphone and, in the event of an accident, the nearest emergency services can be alerted with just one click.

Night skiing St. Martin

Night skiing in France is a special experience. The 3 Vallées in particular, with their huge range of pistes, have everything to make winter sports enthusiasts' hearts beat faster. There is also the opportunity to ski at night here. If you spend your skiing holiday in the 3 Vallées, you can still make your turns on the slopes after sunset in the Courchevel ski area. Here, the 8-seater Verdons gondola lift extends its operating hours every Wednesday and the Familypark and the Verdons piste are illuminated by floodlights. A special highlight is that skiing in the Familypark is accompanied by music. Catering is also provided: food and drinks are available in the "Les Verdons" restaurant until after the lift closes.

Après ski St. Martin

In Les Menuires, numerous restaurants and bars invite you to après-ski, stop for a bite to eat and linger. Some of them are located at an attractive altitude with panoramic views. Overall, there is a wide range of leisure activities away from the hustle and bustle of the slopes: from dog sledding to exciting heli-skiing and snow tubing, everything is possible here! The ski resort also has two toboggan runs that provide fun for the whole family.

The range of wellness and fitness facilities is also impressive. The sports and wellness centre offers over 4,500 m² of space for a wide range of activities. Whether swimming pool, sauna, aqua aerobics, fitness, tennis, squash or volleyball: the choice is yours!

St. Martin also has plenty to offer when it comes to après-ski. Whether it's cafés with sun terraces in the old village centre, relaxed evenings with an aperitif or two in the "Au Perchoir" bar or colourful parties in the "Saloon Bar", there's something for every winter sports enthusiast. And for those who want to end the evening at the foot of one of the three large valleys in a quieter way, but also in the fresh Alpine air, there are snowshoe hikes to choose from.

Snowpark: Pixel Area St. Martin

Unfortunately, there is no snowpark in St. Martin itself. However, the "Pixel Area" snow park is located right next door in the Les Menuires ski area.

The "Pixel Area" snow park is located at an altitude of 2500 metres right next to the "La Becca" chairlift, but can also be reached via the "Sunny Express". The Pixel Area is fun for the whole family, with a range of modules for young and old.

On the boardercross course, you can get a good introduction to the combination of speed and freestyle fun with small woops, bumps and sharp turns. For freestylers, parcours and skicross fans, there is also the Pixel Area with rails, kicks and moguls. Here you can show everyone your best tricks. If you need a break, you can relax on the new panoramic terrace and watch the other riders perform.

For the somewhat calmer riders, there is the "Friendly Natural Park", which can be reached from the "Masse 1" gondola. Here, young and old can play together and explore the wildlife of the Vanoise National Park. There is parallel slalom, ski games and a picnic area for the whole family.

For those looking for more adventures, Les 3 Vallées with its various snow parks is the place to be. There are plenty of alternatives and great opportunities to let off steam!
