Les
Carroz
Perched on a plateau at 1140m, Les Carroz
d'Arâches is a traditional alpine village in
the heart of the Grand Massif area, just one
hour from Geneva and Chamonix. It is one of the most
accessible resorts in the Alps.
It is a spacious, sunny, family resort with pavement
cafés and interesting little shops centred
around a main square. The traditional village of Les
Carroz has a pleasant ‘lived-in’ feel and
animated atmosphere.
Les Carroz has been popular with French families
since the mid 1930s and holds the ‘Famille Plus
Montagne’ label for its superb children
facilities. Non skiers have plenty to do - try an Air
balloon flight, a night time luge, dog sledding,
indoor tennis, ice skating, snowshoe outings…

The resort is linked to the huge Grand Massif
(Samoëns, Morillon, Sixt and Flaine) and
provides extensive skiing for all levels and no
queues. The gondola and chair lift go straight up to
the Grand Massif area, but there is a 300m walk up
from the centre (the nursery drag is a help).
Back from Flaine,
the runs to Les Carroz are short but offer a wide
variety of trails, including more difficult sections
at the top of the red runs and some good
off-piste.There is ample parking by
the gondola departure. The ski school’s
torch-lit descent is not to be missed – it
starts off with fireworks and ends with vin chaud and
live jazz in the square.
