The village core is in the valley with lifts on its edge; a few chalets at Le Crêt du Merle and the foot of the Beauregard cable car offer genuine ski-in.
Spread across five linked massifs, La Clusaz packs in tree runs, sunny bowls and steep north faces that the local freeriders keep to themselves. It is close enough to Geneva for a weekend, authentically French in a way the big purpose-built names are not, and the village stays lively without ever feeling like a theme park.
