Published on 04/04/2025 - Written by Nadège

Situated in the heart of the 3 Vallées, Les Menuires ski resort enjoys a privileged location, ideal for winter sports. At an altitude of 1,850 metres, its snow cover remains perfectly satisfactory, even outside the high season.

If you want to enjoy the slopes one last time before the ski area closes, we recommend you book your holiday in the spring. There are many advantages at this time of year!

During the spring season, the Les Menuires ski resort is quieter. Most skiers have already come to enjoy all that the mountain has to offer during the winter, and don't necessarily plan to return until next year.

This situation is quite advantageous for late-season holidaymakers, as the ski slopes become more accessible at this time of year. Whether you want to discover a new winter sports activity away from the crowds (snowboarding, etc.) or simply enjoy yourself in complete peace of mind, April is the ideal month!

It's also easier to find a last-minute rental to suit your taste (and price), and Savoyard speciality restaurants will almost always have a place for you. A stress-free way to live from day to day!

Spring skiing also benefits from much more pleasant weather in April. At this time of year, temperatures can easily climb to around 9°C during the day, compared with 6°C in March and just 2°C maximum in February. Although the cold is always very present at this altitude, it is much easier to bear in April.

As well as the fact that temperatures soften towards the end of the season, there is also more sunshine and less rain. And what could be better than skiing in glorious mountain sunshine?

After your skiing sessions, you can even take advantage of this spring weather to enjoy a drink on the terrace with family or friends. Enjoy every moment spent outdoors in Les Menuires!

Less crowds, plenty of sunshine, milder temperatures... These are just some of the advantages of spring skiing! But the list doesn't end there, because it's also worth remembering that snow cover is perfectly guaranteed in April. Although less frequent, snowfalls are always expected in spring (around 32 cm in total).

As a result, the majority of Les Menuires' ski runs remain passable at this time of year, while most of the ski lifts are open. Beginners will have even more fun in April, as the snow changes texture and becomes softer and easier to ski.

So, what are you waiting for to book your esf lessons in Les Menuires? You've only got a few weeks left to make the most of it!
