La Clusaz
Newest Review: ... This isn't a resort for the out and out thrill seekers who only want black black and more black runs. For improvers, however, and families and for those amongst us who no longer feel they have to ski the steepest slopes just because they are there is more than enough to spend a very pleasant week. The high runs are steep but wide open, the lower runs well covered by snow cannons.

The hotel I stayed in was very authentic, with a sense of being in a large cabin, with beautiful flowers and greenery everywhere. The hotels around the town and area, tenede to blend in with the surroundings, for example, log like buildings, colourful flowers ...
