La Clusaz

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.
