Les Menuires Mall 60th Anniversary Renovation
Les Menuires Mall 60th Anniversary Renovation
Published : 05-Aug-2024 02:03
Les Menuires has always been marketed as the family-friendly, most-affordable ski-in/out resort of the world's largest ski area, the 3 Valleys.
Its functional concrete architecture, one of the earliest developments in the French Alps, has had a chequered history, originally state of the art, then fairly quickly decried as dated and ugly, it's had a renaissance in recent years, winning architectural awards as opinions have shifted once more and seeing old apartments within removed and often two 1960s/70s sized apartments made in to one upscale 2020s model.
Newer parts of the resort have tended to be built with wood and stone on their exteriors and to a more traditional Alpine chalet architectural style.
Now, ahead of the 24-25 season and its 60th anniversary, the resort's indoor Galerie de la Croisette shopping mall is reported to be receiving a €3m investment in beautification from the resort municipality to redesign and refresh – in the heart of the resort. The mall has 70 shops serving 555 apartments.
Other news for next year from Les Menuires includes continued investment in upgrades of childrens' facilities on the snow with the Preyerand magic carpet replaced and the area also reorganised to make learning easier. In addition the Pelvoux magic carpet in La Croisette is now covered with a tunnel and also leads to a sledging hill.
