Just 50km transfer from Geneva, La Clusaz is an ideal destination if you’ve only got a few days or you just can’t wait to get on the slopes. Situated in the Aravis mountains it’s a traditional and charming resort that offers skiers and boarders a range of slopes from 1,100m to 2,600m. With a number of greens and blues it’s ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers but there are eight black runs and plenty of off-piste for powder fiends and freeride heroes – La Clusaz is where YouTube star Candide Thovex likes to shred.
Skiing here is picturesque with epic views of Mont Blanc. The après meanwhile is mostly chilled – think restaurants rather than rowdy bars.
