les carroz

Les Carroz is good for families and not too expensive.
Most of the skiing is up on a plateau but there are a few small drag near the bottom, and you can ski back down to the town if the snow is good. From what I can remember they have good snow cannon coverage too.

It's lost it's quaintness (unlike la Clusaz - but then I'm biased) and has sprawled a bit as it has grown. But it does give good access to Flaine, Samoens and Morillion so better for intermediates skiers who want to make the most of the huge area.

Flaine would be a better choice for beginners, although not picturesque. The nursery area is central and walk able from most of the accommodation except the Hameau. Have you looked at La Clusaz or Le Grand Bornand? Both are just an hour from Geneva, picturesque and good for beginners.

hi have been there,not bad,but try to get accomdation near to lifts centre off town sounds obvious,but bus,s were bit hit and miss,dont stop for lunch between 12to2 as the slopes empty while the locals lunch and big queues after,so stay high.

Les Carroz

Say it to yourself a couple of times, with a hard Z, and it will come to you.

Sorry Tony, being a bit thick :shock:

Thought you'd have known about carrots where you come from.... )

Going to Les Carroz for the first time next week. Have a varied bunch of skiers from complete newbies to me with about three weeks on snow. Ahwt runs are recommended for both beginners and intermediates and how hard / steep are they. Can never really tell from Piste maps.

Also any recommendations for restaurants, particularly anywhere that does Pizza. Not typically french i know but as a veggie thats pretty much all i get.

Thanks in advance

the blue runs down to les carozz and Morrillons are ideal for early intermediates and beginners ...there is one long green run to Morrillons that is excellent...as to restaurants on the mountain ..take packed lunches ..especially in Flaine €9 for soup and a coffee and a packet of walkers was €3.2 cheaper on the Samoens side though
