Key Information

Thursday

Get there

You’ll be picked up at the airport and whisked up to the resort. We recommend morning flights to maximise your time in resort, but you can arrive any time. There should be plenty of time to hit the slopes so grab a few people and head out there. The ski hire shop and slopes are a short walk down the hill. Alternatively, break yourself in gently with a walk into the town and maybe discover some live music in one of the bars. We'll announce plans for après, ski meet ups and evening meals together.

Friday

Let's get skiing

If you didn’t make it yesterday, you’ll be itching to hit the slopes today. After breakfast in the hotel restaurant, you can head down to the ski shop to collect your skis if you didn’t yesterday. After a long day of skiing, head back to the hotel spa and pool to relax. We’ll have apres lined up and a restaurant booked for dinner. If the night still feels young L’Ecluse is a must, with its famed glass dance floor over the river!

Saturday

Back on the slopes

Another full day exploring the slopes and the wide range of independent mountain restaurants. We'll have plans for dinner and apres, or you might choose a slightly quieter evening tonight - your room is equipped with HD TVs, and around the lounge fireplace is a great place for a drink.

Sunday

All great things must end

Depending on your flight time, you might be able to fit another full day on the slopes in (if your legs can take it), or perhaps enjoy a stroll around town. The transfer will take you from the hotel back to Geneva Airport. Don’t worry, there’s always next year to look forward to.

You can enjoy free use of the spa, pool and fitness area, and each room is equipped with en-suite and flat-screen tv. Early bookers get the rooms with balcony’s (limited numbers available)! There is a bar downstairs with private sun terrace to relax and enjoy the view.

This trip is brand new

We’re still waiting to collect any reviews from other travellers on this trip. However, all our hosts go through an extensive vetting process to ensure that your adventure is awesome.

Sure can! We'll pair you up into a twin room with someone like-minded. Please enquire if you wish to have a private room - limited availability.

The extensive ski area of La Clusaz and Manigod is quickly establishing itself as one of the big names in the freeride scene. Set against a dramatic backdrop the 130km of slopes have enough variety to suit all levels, including extensive off piste areas and skiing up to 2600m.

La Clusaz has 5 inter-linked areas, making it a great place to explore over the weekend. The high slopes are north facing so retain the snow quality well in late season.

The best area for beginners is undoubtedly at Beauregard which boasts a sunny plateau with gentle blue and green slopes. Beginners can progress to 'Le Meridien', a long blue run right back to the village, or to the Croix Fry/Merdassier slopes via another easy piste and a 2-man chairlift.

Intermediates will love the long sweeping blue and red runs throughout the resort, and especially in the Etale, Aiguille, Fernuy and La Balme areas.

La Clusaz is a haven for more advanced skiers looking to explore the off piste, with the high and north facing La Balme and Torchere bowls given over to extensive free-ride zones.

The resort has a refreshing variety of excellent independent mountain restaurants and cafes - the perfect excuse for a vin-chaud stop or two.

The popular Grand Bornand ski area is a 10 minute bus ride away and a fun day trip for anyone wanting to roam even wider.
