Activities

Skiing

Make the most of 265+kms of slopes on a true variety of terrain offerings!

As part of the Grand Massif, Les Carroz and Flaine enjoy consistently-superb snow coverage from December to April – despite Les Carroz’s perceived low altitude. The secret is out! Les Carroz is in the weather ‘shadow’ of Mont Blanc – and frequently receives the same snow fall as falls on higher slopes – due to Mont Blanc acting like a giant fridge!!

Quite simply, the linked resorts Les Carroz, Samoens, Morillon and Flaine offer fantastic ski and snowboard conditions to accommodate all skill levels. With dedicated, cordoned beginner areas, a 5km green run through the trees from the top of the Molliets chair, a 10-mile  (14km!) blue run (Cascades) off the back of Flaine, extremely challenging blacks (note the Diamond Noir and the Aigle Noir!) and scintillatingly superb off-piste, all linked with modern, fast lifts, the Grand Massif ski area has been reported in the Daily Telegraph as “…the most under-rated ski area in the Alps”.  With local knowledge of the area having served here for the last 25 years, we can help you plan your daily route based on your level and ability of the group.

Of course there are many more activities to be enjoyed in the snow!

• Snowshoe: through a wide range of wonderful wintery tracks
• Fatbike: discover mountain biking… on snow!
• Skidoo: ride the snow!
• Sledging: race down a specially reserved sledging slope very close to the village centre
• Dog sled: Experience the life of a musher, thanks to huskies who love their job! (Apply Tourist Office to book)
• Ice skating: disco on ice!
• Swimming: in and outdoor heated pool whilst its snowing? Why not?

Please note: Activties such as the skidoo and fatbike are only available in to do in late afternoon after closure of the ski slopes.

Mountain biking (summer)

Get a lift up with the Kedeuze telecabine. Soak in the views at the top as you build up the courage to ride down the most exciting tracks, with different levels for everyone! If you’re a beginner why not initiate yourself to mountain biking by using the practice facilities within the village or going along some simple tracks through the lovely forest walks, around the village.

What else?

Paragliding: Soar through the skies over some beautiful mountain views – both Winter and Summer! Mountaincart: Race down the mountain!… steering your own three-wheeled kart  (with brakes) Mountain walks: A gentle walk through the forest and streams, or a long “randonnée” to the top of the mountain! Follow the signs! Swimming: Great family friendly swimming facilities, with three heated outdoor swimming pools, including slides! you also have the option to enjoy an indoor spa, everything you need to relax.
