La Clusaz (France) Skiing Holidays




France - La Clusaz
Resort Height: 1100m

La Clusaz is one of a very small group of French resorts which are not purpose built but are none-the-less located next to world class ski areas. Indeed this traditional Savoyard village is regarded by some as one of the most picturesque in France and has attracted tourists since the beginning of the twentieth century. The large ski area for a single resort of any type covers five lift-linked mountains in the Aravis system and visitors have additional terrain to explore above neighbouring le Grand Bornand on the Aravis Pass - a total of 200km (125 miles) of trails.

Activities
  • Heated outdoor swimming pool
  • Ice skating
  • Floodlit skiing til 1am
  • Snow shoe walking
  • Monthly full moon party
Beginners
Nursery slopes just outside the village centre, gentle tree-lined runs served by the Beauregard gondola and the many confidence-building green and blue runs throughout the area, make La Clusaz an ideal choice for beginners.

Intermediate
This is an ideal resort for intermediates, with five interlinked mountains in the La Clusaz ski area. The magnificent tree skiing at Aiguille and the more difficult red runs on the Cêt du Loup are amongst the many challenges on offer or take the bus to the Grand Bornand and a further 80kms of piste.

Advanced
Some of the best advanced skiing in La Clusaz can be found on the Massif de la Balme and there is plenty of powder in the steep gullies of Fernuy and Borderan. The gondola has from the bottom of La Balme to Cote 2000, gives easy access to the Massif de L'Aiguille.

Snowboarding
La Clusaz has some excellent riding for beginner to expert boarders. Freeriders will find plenty of back country terrain to explore and should head for the Massif de la Balme, a stunning natural playground with huge powder bowls, jumps and drops. Freestylers can test their skills in the snow park and halfpipe.

Apres Ski

A lively and bustling resort with a number of different types of bars to choose from. Le Salto for après ski drinks, Les Caves du Paccaly and Le Grenier for live music and DJs and L'Ecluse discotheque. A good selection of restaurants including Savoyard and traditional French cuisine. La Caleche for traditional Savoyard cuisine and St Joseph for absolute indulgence.
