Les Menuires has the advantage of being at the heart of the Three Valleys and is excellent value for those skiers on a tighter budget...
Created in the middle of the sixties, the resort of Les Menuires provides a short history of forty years of mountain architecture, but one which is continually looking for more authenticity. To start with there were the sober and pure lines of La Croisette, Brelin, Preyerand, built with maximal functionality in mind. Then the quarters of Les Bruyères and Reberty adopted a more traditional construction schema : buildings limited to a height of 6 stories, sloping roofs and wooden facades. And for the last 12 years, this more authentic tendency has grown in amplitude : la Sapinière, Reberty 2000, les balcons des Bruyères, le Hameau des Marmottes et les Airelles- whose architecture has been inspired directly from Savoyard buildings, integrating stone, wood and slate.
