About La Clusaz
A picturesque alpine village just an hour’s drive into the mountains from Geneva, La Clusaz is a hugely popular winter and summer destination for couples and families. Nestled, with its neighbour Le Grand-Bornand, at the heart of the Aravis ski area, the community is surrounded by 120kms of fabulous downhill ski slopes, and offers a wide range of accommodation options. Characterful chalets are tucked within the village and on the surrounding slopes, with the best places to stay in La Clusaz boasting spectacular views of Mont Blanc.
Well-suited to intermediate skiers, La Clusaz has a vast array of blue and red runs as well as an extensive network of cross-country trails. More advanced skiers, however, may choose to head off-piste on the north-facing slopes for more varied terrain. The area is known for having some of the most unusual rock formations in the French Alps, which can make skiing quite exciting! Summer visitors, on the other hand, can mountain bike and hike on verdant slopes or through ancient forests. The Via Ferrata Yves Pollet-Villard is a brilliant trail, and walks around the Lac des Confins come highly recommended.
The resort’s proximity to Geneva has made it a favourite for weekend breaks, so the best places to stay in La Clusaz can fill up fast during peak season. Book your winter holiday well in advance, and travel outside February half-term if you can!
