La Clusaz

La Clusaz is one of the oldest ski villages in the French Alps, having its roots firmly established in 1931. The village is traditionally French and still has much of its original charm and style intact unlike many of the purpose built resorts.  La Clusaz is a friendly and lively small village in the heart of the Aravis Mountain Range.  La Clusaz is an easy drive from the Channel ports, just 20 miles from the lovely lakeside town of Annecy and 28 miles from Geneva, this is a mountain village retaining rustic charm, old farming chalets and French atmosphere. There is a surprisingly large local ski area which takes in 5 interlinked mountains in and around La Clusaz.
