Apres-ski

There is a good choice of restaurants and cafes in the village and at altitude, La Cascade is a popular central restaurant and makes good use of the local cheese. If you prefer a fast food alternative why not try Pizzaminut in the village centre. After eating there are plenty of lively bars. If you still have some unused energy then try one of the nightclubs of L'ecluse in the village or the ever rocking Club 18 at La Perriere which hosts live bands and loads of different parties.

Overview

La Clusaz is stunningly located in the Aravis Pass Area and apart from being a picture postcard village, it is nearly always well snowed.

La Clusaz is fairly spread out as far as the slopes, but the village offers a free bus service to the lifts.
