Charming village in an idyllic ski setting
Special Offer: FREE La Clusaz lift pass all season for all Thomson guests! La Clusaz is a charming old Savoyard village and is one of the prettiest, most established ski resorts in the Alps. Although largely unknown outside France, La Clusaz never fails to win over visitors with its traditional village feel, genuine sense of community and great selection of bars, shops and restaurants. There is a superb variety of skiing in the La Clusaz from the tranquil slopes on the Beauregard Plateau to the more challenging slopes on Le Balme.
Ski information
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.
Intermediates
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 Crêt du Loup are amongst the many challenges on offer or take the bus to the Grand Bornand and a further 90kms 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 from the bottom of La Balme to Côte 2000, gives easy access to the Massif de L'Aiguille.
Nightlife

· Le Salto for après ski drinks, Les Caves du Paccaly and Le Grenier for live music and DJs and L'Ecluse discothèque.Activities
