The Skiers' Guide to La Clusaz

La Clusaz was perfect for our family of skiers, snowboarders and our 6 year old son who had never skied before. Super close to Geneva, perfect slopes for all levels and a beautiful town. Would recommend to everyone!

Really friendly, authentic French resort. Suitable for all levels. Great food and bars. Can access some great slopes, with lovely restaurants up in the mountains. Would highly recommend this area of France to ski.

La clusaz is a small but very friendly ski resort. A traditional village with lots of life it is the perfect place for a family skiing holiday. Slopes to suit any level of skiing and plenty of places to stop to refuel. The resort is only an hour away from Geneva so makes it very accessible as well.

Great for families, good value for money, close to Geneva. Some challenging terrain for advanced skiers, and some kid friendly areas too. Good restaurants and nice village centre for weekend trippers.

I grew up skiing in La Clusaz and it is truly a hidden gem which is perfect for families. It has a very traditional and friendly vibe which is so accommodating for children and the slopes are perfect for beginner and intermediate skiers. If you are more advanced, all the instructors know the terrain like the back of their hand and can guide you into some amazing off piste zones.

We visited La Clusaz near the end of the ski season but still had a very positive experience. Most of us were from the UK or American in our group and staff were helpful to guide us to the different lifts and runs in English and practiced an exchange of French with us to help our learning skills as we were part of a French learning course. There is ski rental that is affordable and right outside the resort so you can ski in to the resort which is useful. It was not too busy at this time which allowed us to take full advantage of the ski slopes and especially the bunny beginner slope where I plummeted down repeating pizza then chips multiple times without worrying about knocking anyone down as there was so much space!! Definitely will return soon!

Visited multiple times as friends have a Charley there. A really pretty village with a relaxed vibe. Good for beginners and some great runs over at le balme on a powder day but not the best resort for advanced skiers

Great resort, lovely few days with my friend. Great snow, great place to learn skiing. My friend took some ski lessons and she improved quickly

Amazing experience, would visit again. Hotels and bars in La clusaz are amazing with so much variety and choice whilst enjoying every minute

Went in march so lower runs were closed. Higher runs were good with good snow. View point was great and good red run to get down.

Had a short walk from hotel
To the lift. Good points, good selection of runs for beginner and intermediate skiers. Lots of bars and restaurants in the town. Only down side was the poor snow near the town, but we did go in march.

Honestly the best for those who are still learning or intermediate, not too packed and loads of space.

Wonderful resort particularly off season . Great retauranst and afer ski facilities and great choice of accomodations near the pistes

Really lovely trip but a steep run into the 1 apres bar. Lots of different runs across the resort for skiers of all levels.

Overall the runs were a bit repetitive for greens and blues as they were more limited. There were 4 mountains in total but to get to them all or complete them you often had to red or black at some point so I wouldn’t recommend for beginners or low intermediates. Never queued for ski lifts for longer than a few minutes, ski lifts go right into town and free shuttle busses were great and never too crowded.

Lovely resort but defo more family friendly than party vibes! Great lift service though and would recommend the La Montagne hotel. Some STUNNING views and great runs if you’re comfortable to venture away from the village. A few locals and instructors told us (and we agree) that a blue run is a bit of a lottery in La Clusaz - some blues were definitely reds.

Been going here for many years. Great skiing and food and queues are never long for the lifts. My wife learnt to ski her at 5 and we will be doing the same with our own children soon!

Loved this fairly quiet, traditional resort. Weather was amazing but needs more snow as very warm the week we stayed.

We will definitely be back. Col du Balme was the ski highlight.

Lots of lovely restaurants and great area for all abilities.

We have had the best introduction to skiing having visited La clusaz. The ski instructor was excellent. We hired a private session 3 hours a day for 2 days. By the end of day 2 we were skiing easy blues having never skied before.

The lifts were easy and never really busy, we had plenty of options of where to go and the buses were easy to use and regular if we wanted somewhere different away from the slopes that were within walking distance.

The village has some really lovely shops, a lovely square and some fab restaurants. They spoke English and were very friendly. Highly recommend we had a fab time.

Very easy and quick to get to, short transfer from Geneva. We travelled as 2 couples for 4 nights (3 days skiing). The village itself is beautiful and very traditional. The food scene is great and we didn’t have a bad meal. Nice wine bar and places for drinks in the village. We were here during low season but found a relatively good apres scene. The skiing is great for intermediates as there are plenty of stunning reds and blues. The beginner area is, as the name suggests, beginner friendly, however there are limited other options for complete beginners, unless you’re staying longer and have the chance to really progress.
All in all would recommend for a short ski trip with a traditional feel, great food, intermediate level skiing and ease of access.

Been twice now. Great for intermediates. Facilities fantastic, suits all ages. Pretty traditional town with friendly locals and gorgeous shops. Food was amazing every restaurant we went. Good sized ski area with plenty of piste choice without being too over whelming. Would defo recommend and would return. I wouldn’t visit before it comes to commercial. Beautiful resort
