A fun introduction to biathlon for all the family

A combination of skill and endurance, biathlon is a fun discipline that will appeal to young and old alike. This activity, which comes straight from Scandinavia and involves alternating between cross-country skiing and rifle shooting, is accessible to children aged 8 and over in the Les Menuires resort.

Although this unusual sport was originally intended for the military, it gained in popularity when it was included in the Winter Olympics in the mid-20ᵉ century. Today, biathlon is no longer reserved for the pros! In fact, ski resorts offer introductory days, ideal for discovering the basics of the discipline in a safe environment.

Accompanied by experienced instructors, you can progress in a friendly atmosphere with family and friends!

Get away from the crowds on cross-country skis

Do you simply want to enjoy the thrill of a Nordic skiing session? In Les Menuires, cross-country skiing lessons are also available for children, adults and teenagers who want to experience a unique moment in the heart of nature.

Within the resort, several dedicated trails are available for skiers of all ages and levels. We invite you to work up a sweat on the easy pistes at "Plan de l'eau" or, if you prefer, to perfect your technique on the more challenging trails that take you through the hamlets of the Valley.

Whether skating or alternating, you'll enjoy a few hours' escape to the rhythm of the snow-covered panoramas. The perfect opportunity to discover skiing in a different way during a private or group lesson!

Memorable snowshoe outings in Les Menuires

If you love hiking in the mountains, you can still have fun in winter! In fact, snowshoes are the ideal alternative for exploring snowy trails and marvellous mountain landscapes in complete safety during the cold season.

Equipped with your snowshoes, you can hit the powder on unique and wonderful walks in the Vallée des Belleville accompanied by an experienced guide who will adapt to your level. For a day, a half-day or even an evening, you'll have the chance to experience trapping at its truest.

While snowshoe outings are suitable for all ages, there are also courses specially designed for younger children. From the age of 4 upwards, young children will also have the chance to explore the mountains!
