When the last lift slows to a halt and the sun is dropping behind the mountain, it’s time to ditch your skis for the day and find something else to do. It is at this point that the true variety Les Menuires has to offer really comes to light. Although it is a quieter resort in terms of drinking, partying and clubbing, with a much smaller selection of bars and a more peaceful vibe, for the action hungry and families it has huge appeal.

 Attractions to keep the kids busy in Les Menuires include the Aquafun swimming pool (complete with wave machine and massage jets); the Fun Park soft play area with trampolines, ball-pits and big slides; and the ‘Sliding Castle’ which consists of snow structures built purely for sliding down on their plastic shovel toboggans.

Transfers To Les Menuires

Ben’s Bus offers shared Les Menuires Airport Transfers and are almost certainly the cheapest way of getting from the airport to Les Menuires.

 Alternatively, private transfers are an option, they tend to be more expensive but you get a door to door service and there's no waiting around at the airport. For groups of 8 (which is the sweet spot for minibus transfers) it wouldn't be too different in price to shared.
