The 3 essentials for the perfect ski holiday!

Winter is gradually setting in across France bringing the season you've been eagerly awaiting to hit the slopes! If you haven't already organised your holiday, Les Menuires offers the ideal conditions for enjoying the pleasures of the mountains and winter sports.

Before boarding your train or getting into your car, it's essential to anticipate certain essential points for an idyllic ski holiday.

It's no secret that temperatures can be harsh in the mountains, even when the sun is out. So to make the most of your activities and enjoy the many benefits of the great outdoors, remember to pack warm, moisture-resistant clothing.

Waterproof jackets and trousers, jumpers, thermal underwear, snow boots, gloves, hats and scarves or chokers are all essential for your comfort. If the weather is fine, sunglasses and sun cream will give you optimum protection. For the coldest days and evenings, slip heaters into your pockets!

Winter sports require special equipment. Pairs of skis, ski boots, poles, snowboards and snowboard boots, sledges and snowshoes are all essential.

Wearing a helmet is also highly recommended for your safety in the event of a fall or collision with another user on the slopes. If you don't want to buy these products, you can hire them from various specialists in Les Menuires.

Don't hesitate to plan ahead and book online before your holiday!

Les Menuires has a wide range of accommodation (hotels, chalets, flats, holiday inns, clubs, etc.) to suit you. To choose the right option for you, you need to consider several criteria, such as the number of people, the atmosphere you want, your budget and how close you are to the slopes.

Depending on the period of your stay, it's advisable to book a few months in advance. Finally, to introduce your children to the joys of skiing or improve your level, discover the varied offer from ESF Les Menuires: ski lessons for all, supervised by passionate and experienced professionals. Once again, don't forget to book, and make the most of a planned holiday as soon as you arrive!
