Easy access to the Grand Massif and a real village feel make this a good choice for those with a few weeks skiing under their belts who want authenticity and don't mind not being ski-in/ski-out.
Great location, facilities were good and we loved the resort.
Well equipped and clean. Pool and spa facilities excellent. Short walk to ski lift not a problem. The ski area wonderfully varied, with tree lined runs and a good number of hard blacks.
We have stayed at Les Chalets de Jouvence in Les Carroz 4 times - the location really is excellent.
Apartment on the top floor in Les Jouvences was warm and cosy and had great views. The proximity of the accommodation to the gondola was great - truly ski in, ski out.
I thought the Les Carroz apartments were perfect, with a brilliant location and on site leisure facilities. I would definitely go back.
Les Carroz is a lovely, compact and friendly centre.
