Ski resort La Clusaz

Between Savoyard authenticity and vast areas of skiing, La Clusaz embodies the spirit of the Aravis.

La Clusaz is organized around several complementary spaces. Thus, the village, located at approximately 1,100 meters above sea level, concentrates shops, restaurants, and services. Moreover, it retains the authenticity of a lively and active Savoyard village. Furthermore, the ski area extends over the slopes of the Aravis massif. It offers a wide variety of slopes suitable for all levels of skiers. Finally, the various sectors offer breathtaking views of the Alps.
Yes, La Clusaz is generally suitable for beginners, although it is not a “100% easy” like some very flat resorts.

It is well suited to beginners thanks to several advantages: beginners have access to dedicated areas at the bottom of the resort, especially around the base areas, with wide, gradual green slopes. This lets you learn gently, without pressure. The resort also offers secure beginner spaces with magic carpets and easy lifts, ideal for your first time on skis.

Then, some blue trails are accessible quickly, which allows you to progress without feeling stuck for too long in the very easy areas.

However, it should be noted that the wider Aravis area can quickly become more technical and hilly, so moving on to more varied slopes may require some confidence.

In short: a very good choice for beginners and those looking to improve, provided that you stick to the areas suitable for the beginning of the stay.

Yes, La Clusaz is also well worth discovering in summer, and the resort remains particularly lively outside the winter season. You can enjoy, for example, an extensive network of hiking trails, with routes suited to all levels. The landscapes of the Aravis massif offer superb views of the surrounding peaks. The resort is also ideal for mountain biking and e-biking, with marked trails and lifts open in summer for easy access to the heights. There are also many nature activities such as trail running, climbing, via ferratas or family walks around the alpine pastures.

Finally, the atmosphere remains that of a lively mountain village, with shops, events and a real local life, even in summer.
