Our chalets are situated in the picturesque and traditional village of Le Bettaix, just a few minutes from the centre of Les Menuires (pronounced Men-weer). Le Bettaix has its own chair lift giving you easy access to the whole of the Three Valleys ski area, while retaining a peaceful atmosphere.
Chalet Genepi is just 400 metres from the chair lift, but so that you can save your legs for the skiing or boarding, guests of this chalet will be taken to the Bettaix chairlift in our minibus in the morning, and we will bring you back again from there at the end of your day's skiing. Chalet Sara Marie is only 150m from the chair lift, so it is truely ski-in, ski-out!
Les Menuires offers 160 kilometres of pistes and has been graded by "Where to Ski and Snowboard 2007" as follows:
4/5 for snow
5/5 for extent
4/5 for experts
5/5 for intermediates
3/5 for beginners
With many wide blues, untouched off piste, stunning views, challenging blacks, and only two drag lifts in the whole resort, Les Menuires caters for every skier and snowboarder.
Les Menuires is also just two lifts from Val Thorens, the highest ski resort in Europe, guaranteeing you snow from before Christmas until after Easter. As well as Les Menuires and Val Thorens, you can ski to Meribel and Courchevel with the Three Valleys lift pass which gives you access to 600 kilometres of pistes! So in short, our chalets have easy access to a vast skiing area.
We would also be delighted to accompany you on the piste for two days of your holiday to ensure you get the most out of the resort. We can show you the best runs, where to go to avoid queues, warn you when there's a flat bit coming up so you can pick up some speed, introduce you to the best restaurants, and generally save you from having to have your head buried in a piste map so that you can relax and enjoy the stunning views.
