How to Get to Les Menuires | The Ultimate 2026 Travel Guide
Reaching Les Menuires is remarkably efficient compared to many high-altitude Alpine destinations, thanks to its proximity to the major Tarentaise transport corridor. The primary international gateway is Geneva Airport (GVA), offering a transfer time of approximately 2 hours 30 minutes and the highest frequency of flights from across the UK and Europe. For those seeking the absolute shortest time on the road, Chambéry Airport (CMF) is the closest hub, located just 100km away with a transit time of roughly 1 hour 45 minutes.
If you prefer the rails, the Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-les-Bains train station is the key rail gateway, situated just 27km (a 40-minute drive) from the resort. It is vital to remember that Les Menuires sits at a snow-sure altitude of 1,850m; consequently, the Loi Montagne is strictly enforced, making winter tyres or snow chains a legal requirement for all vehicles from November to March. Because the resort is tiered into distinct neighbourhoods—such as Reberty 2000, Les Bruyères, and La Croisette—we strongly recommend a private transfer to ensure a seamless, door-to-door arrival at your specific residence, avoiding the hassle of local shuttles with heavy luggage.
