Pistes at La Clusaz: |
|
|
|
La Clusaz has developed into a major international resort, but has retained the charm of a genuine French mountain village. The pistes at La Clusaz are spread over five interconnecting mountains (l'Aiguille, Balme, l'Etale, Beauregard and Manigod) which make it all the more interesting. |
|
La Clusaz offers 130km of well maintained pistes for boarders of all levels. Most of the runs are west or north west which mean that boarding back to the resort is always possible as the snow holds well throughout the season. |
|
|
|
The highest runs rise to 2470m in the Col de Balme, in addition there is a further 90km of pistes in the nearby resort of Le Grand Bornand, rising to 2100m on Le Lachat (above pistes are included on the full Aravis lift pass). |
