# Pass Marsien: benefits for a discounted spring ski stay

The Pass Marsien is an offer from the resort of Les Menuires, in Les 3 Vallées, for stays booked in March and April. Added to a stay booking, it brings discounts on accommodation, the ski pass and equipment hire, plus a set of free experiences in the resort.

## Benefits linked to buying the ski pass

The Pass Marsien is for anyone booking a stay in Les Menuires in March and April. It gives discounts of up to 20% on accommodation, up to 22% on the Les 3 Vallées ski pass and up to 35% on ski equipment hire.

On top of the discounts, the free Pass Marsien includes three experiences: an introductory snowboard lesson with the École du ski français (ESF), one entry to a swimming pool in the Belleville valley, and a ride on the Alpine coaster called "La Mine".

## How to qualify

To qualify, the stay must be booked directly with the central booking office of the resort of Les Menuires and include accommodation, ski pass, equipment hire and École du ski français (ESF) lessons. This all-in booking is what earns the discounts and the free Pass Marsien.

## Favourable snow conditions at altitude

The Les Menuires ski area sits high: 85% of its pistes lie above 1,800 metres. That keeps skiing conditions good in March and April, when visitor numbers drop compared with the February holidays. The pistes have more room, suited to wide, sweeping turns, and sunny terraces are there for breaks.

## The advantages of spring skiing in general

Beyond the Les Menuires offer, four arguments are made for skiing in March and April: piste conditions that stay good for snow sports, lower visitor numbers and so shorter queues at ski lifts, weather judged less uncertain, and many events and activities in the resort during the period.
