La Clusaz Reviews

Honestly, if you don't ski, there's not much to do. Compared to, for example, La Plagne, it's nothing like it! There's no atmosphere in this resort. The people aren't very welcoming...

• There aren't many queues at the ski lifts.
• We quickly explored the entire area.

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.

• A typical village, a beautiful setting in the Aravis mountains.
• Car management, low-altitude snow, unpleasant reception

Good variety of slopes for all abilities. Wonderfully quiet Monday to Friday at the end of March. Great to have a hotel which was ski out and in. Staff on gondolas and pomas very polite and helpful. Beauregard a great area for the less confident skier. No speed merchants zooming past at 100 mikes an hour from higher slopes! We will go back.

• Compact Alpine village with a regular Village Bus linking all ski areas.

The ski area is vast and the slopes are varied. There are freeride areas and magnificent views.

• Large slope, great views and expansive grounds
• Basse altitude

On the slopes, it's impossible to find your way; it's the first time we haven't been able to navigate easily. The people at the resort and the tourist office are barely pleasant. The shuttle buses are either late or not running at all. The ski area is practically ungroomed; from green to black runs, everything is full of moguls. Even a green run (apart from Beauregard) is difficult. There are a lot of flat sections, so it's not ideal for snowboarding.

• Good atmosphere
• Few pleasant people, unmaintained grounds

Stayed February 2026. I'm still reeling from the car traffic in the resort; it's everywhere! Pedestrians aren't always safe. Something really needs to be done about it. Otherwise, it's a beautiful area, not too crowded during the week (unlike the weekends), and there are some great hikes to be had.

• Not too crowded during the week. Plenty of great hikes possible.
• A major drawback: the station is entirely car-oriented, to the detriment of pedestrians.

At—an authentic Savoyard resort

A beautiful place to visit, the bungalows next door are very nice, a bit rough for beginners on the slopes but the stay was good!

• Best fondue
• Lack of blue runs

very pretty

• Very family-friendly and no ugly modern apartment buildings

We encountered a problem when purchasing our ski passes. The 4-day pass is valid for four consecutive days and cannot be chosen within the week, as is the case in many resorts. Despite the fact that the employee did not warn us about this and there was no clear information on the matter, the resort refused any compensation; this is very regrettable for a resort of this size!

• The package is a bit expensive and not flexible.
