The picturesque, traditional village of La Clusaz is one of the
Haute Savoie’s best-kept secrets. This lively and friendly ski village
has lost none of its deeply rooted French charm. Though not offering a
huge ski area, there is a wonderful variety of skiing and boarding to
suit everyone.

La Clusaz lies in an open sunny valley beneath the jagged peaks
of the Aravis mountain range. 132km of groomed trails stretch out over
five inter-connected ski areas, each with its own unique character.
Woodland trails give way to open bowls and much of the off-piste can be
reached from the lift stations, involving very little climbing. The
nature of the terrain, much of it meadow-land and grazing during the
summer months, ensures that even with a light snow covering the ski
area can be fully accessed.
