La Clusaz Ski Passes
La Clusaz is often described as the ‘jewel of the Aravis’, and for good reason.
Unlike the high-altitude, concrete-heavy resorts found elsewhere in the French Alps, this is a place of wooden chalets, local markets, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. However, don't let the traditional aesthetic fool you - the skiing is world-class.
The ski area is split across five interconnected mountain massifs: Beauregard, La Croix Fry-Manigod, L'Etale, L'Aiguille, and La Balme. Together, the immediate La Clusaz-Manigod circuit offers roughly 77.6 miles of groomed pistes. The terrain is incredibly varied; you can find yourself tucked away in pine forests one minute and standing on a rugged, limestone peak the next.
Because the resort is spread across these different peaks, choosing the right pass is vital. It dictates whether you stay within the local valley or head over the ridge to explore the wider region. Regardless of which you choose, you’re looking at an infrastructure of 49 lifts that whisk you from the village centre (at 1,040m) up to the craggy heights of nearly 2,500m.
Types of ski passes in La Clusaz
When it comes to ski passes, the most important decision you'll make is the geographic scope.
You essentially have two main choices: the local La Clusaz-Manigod pass or the regional Aravis pass. While the local pass is more than enough for many, those who like to mile-munch and explore neighbouring villages might find the upgrade to the Aravis circuit well worth the extra few Euros.
