Les Menuires
Les Menuires, in the Belleville valley, is a family-friendly resort in Les 3 Vallées, with direct access to Val Thorens and Méribel on skis. Its ski-in, ski-out residences make it popular with families and groups. A private car from Geneva Airport avoids shared coaches and drives you straight to your residence or chalet with all your equipment.

Chauffeur's tipLes Menuires is made up of several districts, such as La Croisette, Reberty and Les Bruyères; give the exact one so the chauffeur goes straight there.
The route from Geneva Airport to Les Menuires
Your chauffeur crosses the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva and takes the motorway towards Annecy and Albertville. From Albertville, the N90 leads up the Tarentaise valley to Moûtiers. You then climb the Belleville valley, passing the traditional village of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville with its church, before reaching Les Menuires on the slopes above the valley.
Arriving in Les Menuires
Les Menuires is accessible by car, and your chauffeur drops you at your residence, hotel or chalet. The resort is built in several districts along the slope: La Croisette is the main centre with shops and the lift departures, while Reberty, Les Bruyères and Preyerand are quieter. From the resort, the lifts connect with Val Thorens further up the valley and with Méribel and Courchevel across the 3 Vallées.
Practical advice for your transfer
Many families travel during the French school holidays, when the Tarentaise valley gets particularly busy on Saturdays; leaving early helps. Declare skis and snowboards at booking, and request child seats for younger children. A Mercedes V-Class van carries up to 7 passengers with 10 bags. Snow chains may be needed on the final climb after heavy snowfall, and your chauffeur is equipped for winter conditions. As the route crosses into France, keep your travel documents at hand. AirportsTransfers.ch lets you book your return together with your arrival.
