Off-ski activities to do with children in Les Menuires

Dog sledding is an activity that children particularly enjoy. It's not just a sled ride, it's a unique experience that allows children to discover the world of sled dogs and connect with nature. The children will learn more about the Huskys' way of life, and may even get to feed and stroke them before setting off on the ride. Once on the sled, they can let themselves be guided by the dogs while enjoying the magnificent view of the mountains.

You'll have the chance to take some great photos. You'll then share 30 to 40 minutes of cuddles with the dogs.

If you're looking for a unique experience, this is the activity for you.

On a groomer ride, you'll have the chance to discover the ski slopes in a different way. You'll climb aboard one of these imposing machines, which will take you to the heights of the resort. You'll be able to admire breathtaking, starlit scenery from the comfort of the groomer cabin.

The groomer driver will show you places that are otherwise inaccessible, explain how the machine works and answer any questions you may have. It's a friendly, informative experience that will give you and your family a magical time together.

But snow groomers are not just used for walking. They are also essential for the work of the piste patrollers and the preparation of the ski runs. That's why it's interesting to note that the first snow groomers were put into service in the 1940s. Before that, the slopes were prepared using tractors and horses. As technology evolved, snow groomers became large, sophisticated machines with powerful engines and advanced control systems.

For families with children aged 6 and over, there are two possible experiences:

Sunny Nights with a groomer ride and a meal in a restaurant at an altitude of 2,500 metres.

Choice of menus:

Savoyard fondue, cold meats and dessert: €70

Rib of beef, gratin dauphinois, dessert: €90

Children's menu: Fondue or tartiflette or steak/frites, dessert, syrup: €40
