Skiing in Les Menuires - To Ski or to Spa?

For skiing, Les Menuires in the Trois Vallées region in France is perfect for enjoying a getaway adventure. Yet, while some people come for skiing, others prefer to take easy. They watch their partners go out every day hitting the slopes, but for them, the joy in coming here is not about skiing. Les Menuires provides them with a different type of pleasure: they come to be pampered - they come to spa.

Of course, this does not mean the two are mutually exclusive - those who ski can still find time to spa. Moreover, after an energetic day on the slopes, a spa may just be the perfect answer to whatever ails you. The slopes in the Trois Vallées can be challenging and the pistes may prove too rough for you on that particular day; or, it could simply be the fact you have not skied since the past season or, possibly, ever. Whatever the reason, and you need not have one, a spa provides the ideal solution to your body's aches, pains and desire for relaxation.
