La Féclaz, Ski resort and hamlet in Savoie Grand Revard, France.
La Féclaz is a ski hamlet with over 50 kilometers of cross-country trails and downhill slopes spread across the Grand Revard plateau. The terrain ranges from moderate elevations to steeper pitches, accommodating different skill levels and riding styles.
The site began its transformation into a ski destination during the 1950s when the first lifts and trails were built. This shift turned a mountain grazing village into a recognized winter sports hub.
The hamlet maintains traditional dairy farming tied to the Savoyard landscape, where local producers continue time-honored cheese-making that shapes the community's identity. This heritage remains visible in how residents organize their land and seasonal activities around milk production.
The hamlet is accessible by regular shuttle services from nearby valleys, with combined packages linking transport and lift tickets throughout winter. The compact layout means visitors can move easily between skiing areas on foot or short rides.
The resort offers ski-joëring, a distinctive activity where skiers are guided by mounted horses down the slopes, creating an unusual way to experience the mountain terrain. This combination of horseback riding and skiing happens on winter weekends and is rarely found elsewhere.
