Leaving
Les Menuires or Saint Martin de Belleville to Travel all over the
3 Vallees ski area means going from one magnificent panorama to another,
discovering majestic peaks and continually changing horizons and
being drawn towards infinite open spaces. This is where the purity
of white rivals the depth of blue, where the sky and the earth move
apart so as to join up even better.

rides possible.

 Lugeland
Young and old, on huge rubber rings, slide down the two 200m long
pistes, protected by barriers. The pistes are situated in a specially
created
area. After the joys of the descent, you go up on your rubber ring
toboggan on a moving carpet : hoots of laughter guaranteed …. An
alternative snow sport for children and adults alike.
Because a
mountain holiday wouldn’t be a success without a few toboggan runs,
an area has been specially created for tobogganing
on rubber
rings.
Fun descents on the two specially created pistes : a 200
m long easy piste and a more difficult 150m long piste. And so that
the
whole
experience is fun, at the bottom you get back onto your rubber
ring on a moving
carpet which will take you back up to the top. Comfort, pleasure
and fun.
Rendez-vous a few steps from the resort, between La Croisette
and Preyerand (free access using the Preyerand cable car).
