La Clusaz, Alpine ski resort in Haute-Savoie, France
The resort spreads across five mountain peaks with 125 kilometers of marked trails, connecting different sectors through 49 modern ski lifts.
The village transformed from a farming community into a winter sports destination following the installation of its first ski lift in 1955.
Local Reblochon cheese production continues in the surrounding farms, maintaining traditional mountain agriculture alongside winter sports activities.
The ski area operates from mid-December to early May, with adult day passes priced at 52 euros and children passes at 40 euros.
The resort features five distinct mountain massifs, including Balme at 2,485 meters, offering north-facing slopes that maintain excellent snow conditions.

The French Alps encompass several hundred kilometers of ski slopes spread across various mountain ranges. Ski areas such as the Three Valleys, linking Courchevel, Meribel, and Val Thorens, or Paradiski, connecting La Plagne and Les Arcs, provide extensive networks suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. In Chamonix, the Mont Blanc massif offers technical descents, while high-altitude resorts like Tignes and Les Deux Alpes ensure snow cover thanks to their glaciers. Facilities include efficient ski lifts and simplified access from the valleys. Some resorts like Avoriaz stand out for their car-free organization, while others like Val d'Isère and Alpe d'Huez attract skiers with their significant elevation changes and long runs. These destinations enable winter sports from December to April, with opportunities for summer skiing on certain glaciers.
Annecy attracts equally with its lake and its preserved Alpine village ambiance. Between nature, gastronomy, and heritage, the town stretches between the mountains and the clear water of the lake, lined with canals and colorful facades. Strolling along the Thiou, climbing up to the castle, or taking boat trips to Talloires and Veyrier are popular activities. The surroundings are filled with easily accessible peaks, scenic trails, and starred restaurants. Each season offers a reason to return, whether for markets, beaches, or the first snow on the Aravis.
