Manigod is a tiny old Aravis village; hotels are in and around the village, a short walk or drive from the La Croix-Fry slopes shared with La Clusaz.
Manigod is a working farm village in the Aravis, all dark wood and old stone, lift-linked at the Col de la Croix-Fry to the slopes of neighbouring La Clusaz for around 220 km between them on the shared Aravis pass. The local skiing is gentle and family-friendly, but a few drag lifts up reach high enough to drop you straight into La Clusaz's domain. With its reblochon dairies and Michelin-starred Chalet de la Croix-Fry, this is the secret Savoie behind the headline names.
