Skiing and snowboarding in La Clusaz
Ski Information Beginners
Nursery slopes just outside the village centre, gentle tree-lined runs served by the Beauregard gondola and the many confidence-building green and blue runs throughout the area, make La Clusaz an ideal choice for beginners.
Ski Information Intermediates
This is an ideal resort for intermediates, with five interlinked mountains in the La Clusaz ski area. The magnificent tree skiing at Aiguille and the more difficult red runs on the Crêt du Loup are amongst the many challenges on offer or take the bus to the Grand Bornand and a further 90kms of piste.
Ski Information Advanced
Some of the best advanced skiing in La Clusaz can be found on the Massif de la Balme and there is plenty of powder in the steep gullies of Fernuy and Borderan. The gondola from the bottom of La Balme to Côte 2000, gives easy access to the Massif de L'Aiguille.
Ski Information Snowboarding
La Clusaz has some excellent riding for beginner to expert boarders. Freeriders will find plenty of back country terrain to explore and should head for the Massif de la Balme, a stunning natural playground with huge powder bowls, jumps and drops. Freestylers can test their skills in the snow park and halfpipe.
