The Skiers' Guide to Les Carroz

Excellent resort, with beautiful quiet tree lined runs. Good lift system, great value for money.
Picturesque mountain views, plenty of slopeside restaurants

Been to this big area 3 times. First time with family, wife stayed ( first time on skis) around easy greens and blues at the top of Grand massif express, safe for me to leave her there and venture off , usually staying ,incase needed in the Samoens area on Marmotte etc. Theres a great lunch / coffee restaurant just below Dahu slope. Once you get to Tete des Saix at the top the world opens up, Ahhh down towards Les Carrox , Gron became a favorite, lots of tree runs here , an easy going not too busy vibe . If theres time I went to Flaine , Intermediate and fast long slopes in this big open area and what a wonderful view at the top of Platieres. Dont make the mistake of skiing down Cascades unless snow is really good, its a beautiful leisurely run except for the rocks near the bottom that will rip up skis.

Great resorts for families and beginners/intermediates. Some lifts and slopes closed which meant we couldn’t explore all of the area. Great time of year to come, great weather. Loved our hotel with saunas and spa. Would 100% to again to same area.

A fantastic resort, lots of facilities and great runs! We go with three generations and there is ample to do for all of us!

Early doors between 9:15 to 12 is amazing main slope is very empty but you can literally connect to any valley nearby within 2 lifts unreal skiing quality deffo gunna make it a yearly occurrence !!!

Very pretty French village, far more like Austrian than French. We went over Christmas and the town square was delightful with family entertainment.
Regular bus to main gondola during busy times.
We used the ski lockers at the lift as we were three generations, which were confusing at first to operate but were great after that. Our apartments had a ski locker but was not heated.
There had been a good dump of snow previously but nothing recently and the slopes were a mixture of icy and fluffed up snow which was challenging at times. Flat light one day.
Main runs back to the various resorts lifts in the Grand Massif were very busy come 3.30p,m. with quite a few idiots who showed no concern for lesser skiers. Overall the snow conditions were much better at Les Carroz than in Flaine. Sameon is mainly north facing so colder.
Did not use ski lessons as we went in March to Flaine and my 15 yr old granddaughter learned so little we felt she was better with us. 13 yr old granddaughter loved the whole thing and really took to it.
Not all the runs were open although some looked fantastic and we were told they were holding on to them for new year which is a very busy time (we went over Christmas)

Half term holiday, slopes not too busy one day rained off. Great experience lots of varied runs. Challenging conditions due to lack of snow

Beautiful alpine village feel, some amazing runs between les carroz & the other smaller villages but it can take a long time to get to the top runs over in Flaine. But a great option if the snow is poor at lower altitudes

My family have been going here since I was a child it’s very family friendly and where me and all my siblings learnt to ski it does also have some good bars and restaurants and is part of a larger ski area le grand massif so has a very large amount of slopes to explore

Les Carroz might be a little low nowadays, often the snow/pistes dont reach down into resort. You can get up/down by the telecabin, but not always ski back home at the end of the day.
If you have a car and the snow doesnt reach down to Les Carroz, an alternative is to drive to the Vernant Chair Lift (with lots of free parking), and ski the higher slopes around Flaine.
Resort is family friendly and free from banging Apres.
Bistro Grill du Gron is excellent if youre a carnivore

Fabulous resort for all levels, been at least a dozen times. Great restaurants, easy access to Flaine. Great runs and superb in the summer as well.

Les carroz is always a gorgeous place to ski. The runs are diverse and well kept. The links to the rest of the grand massif make it an enormous resort with endless runs.

Wonderful place to learn for kids and grownups. Big gentle blue run right out of the main lift centre. Kiddy runs on the edge of the town for learning with moving walkways. Beautiful views and scenery all around. The town has an outdoor heated pool too so staying self catering and finding your own extras to enjoy is easy. Fantastic first time location. If you are more experienced it's a fun slip and slide over to some of the bigger adjacent resorts.

Great resort with lots to do. Mountain facilities are very good. Ski 4 resorts in one day if you want to. Family friendly resort. Ice rink, spa and fun rides.

Beautiful village, conveniently located, close to Geneva Airport. Lots of options for all abilities and access to miles and miles of piste.

The access to the 4 valleys is great. There are lots of runs to choose from for all levels. Great bus access that has pick up points all over the resort. The small markets are quite expensive Id recommend shopping in the Carrefour in Cluses before the climb and only getting fresh bits locally. Great ski hire/purchase options. Overall its a great resort.

Fairly quick to get up the Tete de Saix in the morning, from where your have all the options in the grand massif.
Hot tips:
Chalet Ascencus
Igloo bar
L'anfionne

Super resort great lift system and many off piste opportunities. Also some serious long blue red runs best for good intermediates.
Also family friendly and good choice of mountain restaurants.
Can be overcrowded at weekends

Lovely little place, much prettier than flaine.
I've been there many times and visiting again in January. Staying in the Milk hotel, ski in and out. Less than an hour from Geneva so really convenient.

Lez carroz is only 1 hour 40 via transfer from Geneva. Making it a perfect location for a trip from UK

Lez carroz is a small but perfect village for families looking for a relaxing location with easy access to great ski schools and those more experienced the ability to venture into the full grand massif ski range of 5 separate villages all connected vie superb ski lifts and public transport. From Lez carroz those looking for green to black slopes will have plenty of choice. And some fabulous of piste adventures can also be had. Those more fixed on play zones there are plenty of fun zones scatterd about the whole range.

It doest end here .. those looking for food and some aspri-ski will also be very happy with the great choices all over the mountain range and even more so in the village of Lez carroz
