Once again the ski day started late because the draw of some extra sleep was too overwhelming. We finally made the 20 metres walk from the chalet to the piste at around 10am and headed to the Bruyeres lift which would take us to the highest point in Les Menuires (Col de lu Chambre) [...]
Val Thorens ski resort is king of the Three Valleys and as the highest resort in the Alps, Val Thorens can generally guarantee its guests good snow conditions, the only drawback being the complete absence of trees.

Les Menuires ski resort sits just below Val Thorens in the valley, and provides a more sheltered position than its higher neighbour. Unfortunately much of the buildings in Les Menuires were put up in the 1970’s and unfortunately it’s not the prettiest of resorts.

I’ve completed this journey many a time and I usually find it better to stay [...]

The transfers will also be included and it’s worth remembering that the transfer time is around 2.5 to 3 hours to the Three Valleys, and probably more if the [...]
