La Clusaz has well-groomed intermediate and advanced slopes that are all too often overlooked by skiers and snowboarders driving past on their way towards the 3 Vallées and other famous Tarentaise resorts.
I really like La Clusaz, it's a bustling resort with lots going on activity and apres-ski wise. It combines modern buildings with a nice little traditional square and church.
We enjoyed visiting the Distillerie des Aravis, which offers tours of their workshop where they craft traditional drinks like Genepi.
The position of the accommodation was really good. Short walk and small lift queues.
