Choose off-piste to explore the ski area!
Of the three off-piste options available in Les Menuires, you can opt for an à la carte outing, a half-day session or a whole week of off-piste skiing. Whatever your choice, you'll still need to have a good level of skiing as only experienced skiers (class 3 and 4) can take part.
The "exceptional off-piste" outing, organised by the Menuires esf, will give you access to some of the most beautiful natural areas in the area, from glaciers to steep slopes. Group lessons will take you to explore the most beautiful corners of the Vallée des Belleville.
