Les Carroz Ski Holidays France
"Les Carroz is a gem of a resort. It's a pretty and traditional French village with access to the world class Grand Massif ski area, one of the largest in France. After a day on the slopes, a vin chaud in Le Marlow is the perfect way to finish the day and soak in the authentic French atmosphere."
Les Carroz Ski Holidays
Pretty Les Carroz is a traditional French village with direct access to the beautiful Grand Massif ski area, one of France's largest linked ski areas. At just over an hour's drive from Geneva Airport, Les Carroz also offers a quick and easy transfer, making it a popular choice for a short break or a family ski holiday.
The authentic village sits in a sunny position surrounded by tree lined slopes and offers a charming collection of chalet-style timber Savoyard buildings. The centre of Les Carroz boasts a choice of bars, restaurants and shops and there's lots to do including ice skating and sledging.
Skiing in Les Carroz
As part of the Grand Massif with 265km of pistes, Les Carroz's ski area is linked to several other resorts, including Flaine and Samoens, allowing skiers to reach high altitude slopes with great snow records and runs for all abilities. Accessible in just six minutes via the Kédeuze gondola, the resort is an excellent base for exploring the extensive terrain.
For beginners, the village's nursery slopes are protected and quiet and there are lots of gentle blues nearby to progress onto. Intermediates will enjoy the whole Grand Massif area, particularly the runs down to Les Carroz itself.
Advanced skiers or boarders will find spectacular powder bowls if they head towards Flaine or Samoëns as well as challenging black pistes. Experts can also explore the crevasses of the Flaine bowl, the narrow moguls of the Diamant Noir, or the ominous Combe de Gers basin (with a guide).
There is plenty to keep boarders happy with a large terrain park in Flaine. In Les Carroz itself there are boardercross courses and the "Oasis Cool Zone" snowpark suitable for all levels with a variety of features such as jumps, rails and boxes.
