Best time to ski in Les Menuires

No matter when you go, a Les Menuires ski holiday is a blast. There can be pinch points on some lifts with queues forming in peak periods such as New Year and February half term, but Les Tois Vallees is so large even big crowds soon spread out, leaving you free to cruise well-groomed slopes. Top tip - make the most of the sun on the Masse slopes in the morning and swap to Mont de la Chambre in the afternoon.
