Les Carroz is a spacious, sunny, family resort with
pavement cafés and interesting little shops
centred around a main square. Les Carroz has a
pleasant 'lived-in' feel and has been popular with
French families since the mid 1930s for its superb
children facilities, including a children’s
club, and a baby-club. In Les Carroz there is a
swimming pool complex with 3 pools, paddling pool,
water slides, bouncy castle, volley ball, trampoline,
restaurant and bar, surrounded by a large expanse of
green lawn. The 18 hole Golf course boasts fantastic
views, open every day in July and August, and at
weekends in other months. Other golfing challenges in
the area include an 18 hole course at Les Gets, a 9
hole course at Avoriaz, and a practice range at
Samoëns with a driving range over water and a
putting green.
Les Carroz is well provided for with shops, post
office, library, medical centre, pharmacy, tennis
courts, archery, mini-golf cinema, art galleries,
museums, and ping-pong! The gondola in Les Carroz is
also available to take you up to the fabulous
scenery, leaving you to descend at your leisure. The
Tourist Information Office in Les Carroz keeps a
wealth of informative literature and will help keep
visitors entertained during their stay. Les Carroz is
