Snow sports for everyone!An unforgettable experience with our qualified instructorsSolidarity actions to make winter sports accessible
For several years now, the resort of Les Menuires has been organising a flagship event, the Trophée de l'Espoir, in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Sponsored by David Douillet and organised in partnership with Alpysia, Alliance Paralysie Cérébrale des Alpes, this evening is an important annual event, raising funds for the charity.
With a range of activities including skiing, a torchlit descent and an exceptional show, the event is an opportunity to promote handiskiing and help make winter sports more accessible to people with disabilities.
Les Menuires also works with other organisations such as the Petits Princes Association and Enfance & Montagne to help children who are ill or have never skied before to discover the mountains and all the activities they have to offer.

A more sustainable mountain with the Menuires resort
While Les Menuires is committed to making winter sports more accessible and looking after the well-being of every holidaymaker, it is also keen to work towards a sustainable mountain.
All those involved in the esf do their utmost to pass on their knowledge of the mountain environment (fauna, flora, risks, specific features, etc.) to young and old alike, and to teach them the right gestures and behaviour to adopt so that they can enjoy themselves safely while respecting the area around them.
As well as raising awareness, the resort is also taking steps to look after the surrounding area, such as the 'Last Stick Planted', a nationwide clean-up operation to collect rubbish dumped on the ski area.
