France – High-altitude fun in Les Bruyères

Les Bruyères, one of the liveliest parts of Les Menuires in the beautiful Les Trois Vallées ski area, offers a fantastic experience for young and old all year round. With its extensive slopes and modern facilities, it is an ideal place for an unforgettable winter sports day, but there is also plenty to do in the French Alps in the summer.

A perfect day starts with a visit to ‘la Mine’, a toboggan run on rails. This attraction offered a breathtaking 1 kilometre ride through the mountain landscape, full of bends and height differences. The adrenaline was pumping through my body as I raced through the bends, with a smile on my face. ‘La Mine’ is accessible from 5 years old and with a minimum height of 1.10m. It is a must-do for anyone visiting Les Menuires.

After ‘La Mine’ it was time to relax. Fortunately, Les Bruyères offers the ideal place to unwind: ‘La Bulle’. This wellness centre is an oasis of calm in the middle of the busy ski area. With a sauna and hot tub, surrounded by a serene atmosphere and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, this is a must.

The day ended with a delicious meal in one of the cosy restaurants in Les Bruyères, serving local specialities such as tartiflette and raclette. It is without a doubt a destination that sports enthusiasts will want to return to again and again.
