La Clusaz - Skiing

The old village of La Clusaz, located in the Haute Savoie just half an hour from Geneva, is a great family ski area. Narrow, winding streets and great views of the surrounding four massifs with 130km of groomed trails make this a pleasant getaway spot (especially during the week, on weekends local skiers from the Geneva area make the short trip). Olympic freestyle gold medallist Edgar Grospiron is from La Clusaz and, not surprisingly, the resort has great bump skiing and in 1995 hosted the world freestyle championships. But beginners and intermediates will have the most fun.
