La Clusaz is complicated. It's a pretty, fairly unspoiled village, but very small, so there's very little to do besides skiing. The welcome is cold, even unpleasant. As is often the case in Haute-Savoie, you get the feeling you're bothering them. Cars are everywhere, many of them speeding, and parking is outrageously expensive... at rush hour, La Clusaz is worse than London. The snow is low-altitude, so it's often lacking and/or melting, even in this exceptional winter of 2026. The resort's extreme, all-ski model is reaching its limits; the future looks bleak, which perhaps explains why people are so unpleasant.
