As you progress, the local area has a number of cruisy blues and wide red runs allowing you to explore the mountain and improve the techniques you have learnt in ski or snowboard lessons.
Intermediate skiing in Les Menuires
Les Menuires itself has plenty of blue and red runs on both sides of the mountain. Mont de la Chambre is an excellent area to get your ski legs back if you have been away from the mountains. If you want to go further afield, there's direct access to the Three Valleys from Mont de la Chambre side. Keep an eye out for fabulous views of Mont Blanc at the top of the chairlift.
There are slightly more challenging runs over on the Pointe de Le Masse side, there's several long and technical descents, which has great snow conditions given its north facing direction. If you just want to enjoy the views, the Bouquetin and Vallon runs are lovely long blue runs which head back down into resort.
