Summary
Les Carroz is a sprawling, sunny, traditional resort at one end of the big Grand Massif ski area shared with Flaine. It is a sizeable place that has the lived-in feel of a real French village, where life revolves around the central square with its pavement cafes and restaurants. It caters particularly well for families, including good-value hotels, but has a much broader appeal than that. There are good woodland runs immediately above the village for bad-weather days, with the whole area to explore when the sun shines. The Grand Massif is almost a match for Val d’Isère and Tignes in extent, at least, but it’s less well-linked to and from Flaine itself.
News – this season 2011/12
A new six-pack, the Désert Blanc, replaced the old Perdrix and Platé chairs. More snowmaking was added to the bottom of the Faust, Almandine and Serpentine runs. And there is a new children’s boardercross course. In Les Carroz, snowmaking was increased along the Combe blue run back to the resort.
News – last season
A new slope linked Forêt to Forum. The 3-star Terrasses de Veret apartments in Forêt and the 4-star Refuge du Golf above Hameau de Flaine opened.
