I've book for New Year! I'm going to Les Menuires...Yes, yes, yes Wickers, I've heard the center is ugly but that seems to be the only drawback and I got a really really really cheap deal so I had to snap it up!
I am Sooooooooooooooooooo excited! :mrgreen:
If anyone has been there I'd be pleased to hear more about it. :lol:

I think you spelt it wrong "Les Manure", only joking..... 8)
Apparently that's how it is pronounced...and the second most commom name for it behind the 'Armpit of the Alps'!
Still 600 km of skiing to choose from though. :mrgreen:
Could be worse I suppose, it could be named The " Ar*e H*le" of the alps :D
Thanks for that C&B, I just want to ski, ski, ski...and I hear that won't be a problem there. The appartment we've booked is ski in/out and as long as there are a few bars and restaurants to choose from then I'm sorted!
I'll try not to look at the ugly buildings, or only look after I have had a few bevvies. :lol: :lol: :lol:
But those ugly buildings will still be there in the morning :twisted:

I was there last year - with 6 other blokes.
The skiing was stop on.
Access from anywhere in Les Menuires is good and there are a few good bars.
Granted the visual appearance of the building could be better - but we went for the skking rather than that.
There are two great runs down from Mont Vallon in the Meribel area of the piste map and also in the far right side too (past Val Thorens) I can remember the name of the resort.
You'll have a blinding time...

Happy hours last year meant a large Stella was 4 euro.
But bottles of Magners were 9!!!!
Miss out Meribel for lunch - fansatic burgers but 20 euros.
We did find a great 'kebab / burger' bar in Les M - close to the ski pass shop.
You will have fun.
