"From the balcony of my room in Hotel & Spa Saint-Alban in La Clusaz, positioned on a slight hill overlooking the pretty village centre and snow-covered slopes, I could tell the conditions were perfect for skiers. The problem was, I can't ski, and I'm not keen to learn! But a snowy holiday in the Annecy Mountains offers much more than ski slopes."
"On the surface, La Clusaz may seem just like any other ski resort. Surrounded by the limestone peaks of five mountain areas of the Aravis, there are enough slopes of varying degrees of difficulty to suit every level of downhill skiing and plenty of trails for the Nordic skiers too. The centre of town features a cluster of alpine houses, boutique guesthouses, hotels, sport shops, restaurants, grocery stores and a church, whose steeple points towards the sky like a pin dropped on a map."
La Clusaz sits on a hillside with Hotel & Spa Saint-Alban overlooking the village and snow-covered slopes. The resort offers varied downhill and Nordic skiing options amid the limestone peaks of the Aravis, while the village centre contains alpine houses, shops, restaurants and a church. Non-ski activities include Le Hameau des Alpes Museum, which presents skiing history and Reblochon production, and cheesemaking tours at Artisan Fromager Joseph Paccard in nearby Manigod. Reblochon is soft and creamy with deep local roots; tastings combine local flavour with expansive mountain views accessible by a local shuttle bus.
