Ski area Les Menuires - St. Martin
A few quite challenging runs can be found at the Point de la Masse (2,804 m) with e.g. the "Dame Blanche", but ski enthusiasts will also find enjoyment on the valley run to St. Martin. Since winter 2015/16. going down from the mountain station to the valley is possible for all abilities as the new blue piste "La Bouquetin" is available to use. The 12 km long Cime de Caron is the longest slope in the Les 3 Vallées and is located in Les Menuires.
Boarders will find first-class conditions in Les Menuires. Between the districts La Croisette and Les Bruyères there is a half-pipe, quarters and pyramids. A boardercross run is to be found at Le Becca. And the little ones will find ideal conditions to learn skiing in the children's clubs Piou Piou in La Croisette and Les Bruyères.
Since the 2018/2019 winter season, the ski area has offered some new features. On December 8th, for example, the "Les Menuires 24 Hours" took place as a welcome event, with all sorts of festive activities for all ages and skill levels for a 24 hour period. In addition, moonlight trips with the snow groomer as well as a torch-lit hike for children older than 3 are possible, and the "Snow Arena" maze were opened. Touring skiers will also be pleased, as a few new and exciting tracks are also appeared. Furthermore, the ski area is equipped with cameras, ready to film your runs down different slopes, an opportunity available in, for example, the new Pixel Area in the Snowpark. If you'd like to take a selfie of everyone on the ski lift, this can be done without any effort on the Saint Martin Express chair lift - on this lift you'll be photographed on your way up and can therefore let your creativity run free. On top of that, the efficiency of the lift systems has been improved through investments of around 9.5 million euros and, as a result, the lifts use less energy and trips take less time.

On "The Toboggan" amateur boardercross run you can get a combination going of speed and freestyle fun, with a few woops and bumps. This year there is a new Pixel Area with rails, kicks and moguls for freestylers, obstacle course and skicross fans. Here you can show off your best tricks and even be filmed while doing them. The video will be sent to you via SMS directly after. If you need a break you can relax on the new panorama terrace and see the other riders put on a show.
If you can't get enough of freestyle action, you are definitively in the right place in the 3 Vallées. With its various parks you are sure to find some great alternatives and possibilities to run riot!
