Shhh…don’t tell everyone, but La Clusaz is the secret resort that you should be trying next.
It’s a traditional, family-friendly resort with plenty to offer. Not many resorts can deliver such a combination of varied ski area, wide range of activities, lively après-ski scene plus a selection of high-quality hotels. On top of that the views of the Col des Aravis are stunning as are the vistas of Mont Blanc.
Let’s look at some of the best reasons to visit La Clusaz…
1. Varied ski area with top-quality lifts
La Clusaz has plenty to keep you busy on any ski trip, with 125km of slopes available, including the Manigod and Le Grand Bornand ski areas.
There’s something for everyone with 7 Black, 29 Red, 30 Blue and 18 Green runs to track down on the piste map.
2. Freeriders love La Clusaz
La Clusaz is a paradise for freeride skiing, offering the perfect terrain for freestyle, freeriding, backcountry and ski touring.
Since the end of the 1980s, this pioneering resort has become known as a Mecca for freestyle and freeriding.
Famous ski names such as Edgar Grospiron, Candide Thovex and Seb Michaud all came from La Clusaz.
Freestylers should look out for the snowpark, while advanced skiers will enjoy the Balme freeride area and ski touring fans can take advantage of 9km of marked touring trails.
3. Plenty to do off the slopes
There’s also plenty of ways to keep yourself busy off the slopes, making La Clusaz a great option for groups with non-skiers.
Take your pick from ice diving, ice skating, snow shoeing, dog sledding, bowling, paragliding, hot air ballooning and relaxing in any one of four wellness centres.
Uniquely, you could try ‘La Bascule’ – a giant swing at 1860m at Cret du Loup – that will give you unbelievable views, while taking you to 90-degrees off the ground!
4. Vibrant après-ski and Savoyarde gastronomy
For dinner, you can choose from over sixty restaurants including two options for fine dining.
And after your meal, why not enjoy a digestif at one of the dozen bars and pubs (with two nightclubs for night owls!)
5. Easy accessibility
You’ll get the maximum skiing per travel time with a visit to La Clusaz. It’s a super short transfer from Geneva Airport (55 minutes) or Annecy train station (40 minutes, 3h40m from Paris).
