WINTER

EXPE RIENCE

La Clusaz laid back and sporty La Clusaz is a laid back, yet lively resort at the foot of the Aravis mountain range, with the friendly welcome we all expect from a family resort. It maintains its character as a charming mountain village while having the bustle of an International alpine resort. It perfectly combines relaxation and liveliness at the heart of a preserved alpine environment.

TENDER IS THE

Night No-one can resist the aprĂ¨s- ski in La Clusaz! Night owls will love the variety of ambience and atmospheres on offer and with plenty of bars, pubs, restaurants and discotheques to choose from you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong! The local revelers have even imported the Full Moon Parties from Thailand to La Clusaz. To see is to believe, as the unconventional night skiing becomes a great excuse for a party.

SNOW SPORTS

INC La Clusaz is also all about trying new sports

The resort is home to numerous champions, and with 130km of skiable area over the 5 mountains, there is something for everyone, from beginner to expert level.

Skiing and sport in general have become the trademark of La Clusaz, but the resort also welcomes new disciplines such as Ski-Joering, Speed-Riding or Snowscoots. The annual La Clusaz Radikal Mountain event brings the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best skiers and snowboarders to the resort to take on the challenging off-piste slopes. The frequency of the events taking place in the resort has led to a veritable savoir-faire and experience in the organization of International events, including the Cross-country Skiing World Cup which they are hosting for the 6th time in January 2013.

Skiing experience

LA CLUSAZ SKI AREA The 5 massifs of the ski area in La Clusaz are a giant fun park for ski lovers. There really is something for everyone at every level, and all this until the end of April!

Ski area stats the perfect measurements • 1100m - 2600m Altitude • 5 massifs • Total vertical descent: 14,288m • 220km of pisted runs (Aravis ski area) • 53 ski lifts • 7 blacks, 24 reds, 30 blues, 23 green • Daily ski pass price : 33€ • 190 snow makers • 63 hectares covered by snow makers • 4 water reservoirs • Uplift capacity 57 990 per hour

FIVE massifs

WITH A MULTITUDE OF POSSIBILITIES La Clusaz is an ideal destination for all, with a large variety of slopes enough to please beginners and experts alike. With a top altitude of 2600m over the 5 interlinked massifs of Beauregard, Manigod, l’Etale, l’Aiguille and Balme, the resort has earned its place at the top for all disciplines of snowsports. The 84 slopes with a total of 132km of runs are linked by highly efficient ski lifts. For more enjoyment, a shuttle bus service also links La Clusaz to Le Grand Bornand resort, with a Massif des Aravis ski pass, you can access 220kms of slopes.

Let it snow… White gold is not a rarity in La Clusaz, with possible snow falls from the end of November to the beginning of May there is on average a culmination of 4m of snow per year. The snow is of a guaranteed high quality thanks to the proximity to the great lakes of Annecy, Lake Geneva and Lake du Bourget and the resort’s location in the north of the Alps, all helped along by the 190 snow makers. Make the first trails down the slopes at 9am over the beautifully prepared slopes with endless gullies, bowls, jumps and hits to explore.

A tradition of champions The resort has produced some great champions since the 1960s, Indeed, it is the resort that can boast the most awards, with 9 world champions. This doesn’t include the freestylers who have great success in the X-Games, the freeriders and the young talents who are monopolizing the national podiums. They are unanimous in their support for the quality of the ski area which allowed them to train to become and stay the best in their discipline

SKIING WITH A DIFFERENCE The position of La Clusaz lends itself to plenty of off-piste possibilities and it is well known for its magnificent coombs. It’s a promised land for ski mountaineers and backcountry skiers as they congregate here with their « fat skis », airbag rucksacks and their Arva®, where they can access virgin snow on a long descent after only 20mins on foot..

Adrenalin packed experiences As soon as the sun rises over the Alps, the back country skiers are up and already on their way up to the snowy summits of the Aravis range… Over the years, La Clusaz has become an epicenter for off-piste skiing with its untamed and remarkable mountains. Not surprising then that it is the hotbed for Freeriding champions such as Sébastien Michaud, and the host of a qualification round in the Freeride World Tour! Nothing can compare to the ultimate adrenalin rush and feeling of freedom you will get from an action packed day in the Aravis.

PRO EXTREME SKIER

Seb MICHAUD

Clusaz-Mag’ : What do you think of the Freeriding area in La Clusaz? Seb Michaud : La Clusaz is well known for being a charming village and also for its fantastic snow filled coombs. With the changing snow conditions, I’m constantly discovering new possibilities. Of course everyone is aware of the classics, such as the Etale from Borderan, the Fernuy or even Bellachat, but there is so much more to discover…there’s always some place to go to have fun, and if the conditions are not good at altitude, there’s always fun to be had in the forest. CM : What security advice would you give to freeriders S.M. : First of all, you need to be in good physical shape and to have the right equipment, I would advise wide skis. It’s important to respect the mountain, the weather and other skiers. Being aware of and using security equipment is essential (Arva, shovel, probe, bag equipped with an airbag, first aid kit…). One last piece of advice, don’t hesitate to consult the snow patrol particularly about weather conditions. CM : What do you love about Freeriding ? S.M. : I love freeriding, my life is all about freeriding, the best is when you do it with friends, there’s nothing like the freedom of flying down the slopes, not necessarily for a competition, it’s just pure pleasure! CM : To finish up, do you have anything to say about La Clusaz Radikal Mountain?

“ I’m constantly discovering new possibilities ”

S.M. : La Clusaz Radikal Mountain has taken place here for the last 2 years, and the 1st stage in the Freeride World Qualifier attracts the best freeriders all fighting for their place on the Freeride World Tour for the next year. The Aravis has tons of extreme faces which gives a great show for the public. After the 2012 edition the riders all left very satisfied by the organization, the welcome they received and the quality of the ride. Not all resorts can boast that…so see you in 2013!

family A sense of

A holiday to La Clusaz is sure to be a memorable one, action packed for all the family. There is a wide range of activities on offer, for example, child care facilities, children’s snow garden, sledging and so many sporting activities to try out

A guarantee of quality For over 8 years, La Clusaz has been declared a Famille plus resort, this confirms the resorts commitment to providing a high quality of service to visitors in all aspects. The resort adheres to a list of over 100 criterion including the welcome and availability of information, the activities and entertainment organized by the resort, respect of the environment, the restaurants, accommodation, facilities, transport and security. This nomination has enabled the resort to provide additional improvements to the services to parents, the creation of baby changing facilities throughout the village, a meeting point in the centre of the village and the rental of 4x4 prams adapted to the mountain, among others. A complete list of the facilities and services available can be found in the La Clusaz guide “La Clusaz en Famille”.

Don’t take our word for it Carine (38 yrs old), Sébastien (39 yrs old) and their children, Arthur (7 yrs old) and Léonie (9 yrs old)

For the last 5 years the family can’t wait to come back every year to La Clusaz for their family holiday. Carine and Sébastien have been coming for years and were eager to pass on their love of the mountains to their children. The resort offers everything they could wish for in a holiday; ski, sun, snow, snow shoe walking, not forgetting the ubiquitous cosy log fire, they’re never disappointed. “The children have their ski lessons in the

morning, and then in the afternoon, we all ski together and they practice what they have learnt in the morning. They are aiming for their 2nd and 3rd stars this year” says Carine. “There’s always something to do here, be it diving into the pool, going sledging, a trip to the snow garden or a visit to the farm…” adds Sébastien. Last year Arthur and Léonie made the happy discovery of the goat farm on the Confins plateau just beside the sledge run, they loved seeing the goats up close and tasting the fresh farm produce. But best of all is the delicious tartiflette at the end of the day, made to a traditional recipe passed on to them at the farm where they bought the Reblochon….once again they head home eager for their next trip back

Each to their

own

â&#x20AC;&#x2030; Like the mountains in general, La Clusaz is multi-faceted. You can of course discover the area on skis, but there are so many more activities, such as snow shoe walking, or a day as a trapper being pull along by husky dogs, a romantic ride in a horse drawn carriage, laser rifle shooting on a biathlon, speedriding, ice skating or even yogaâ&#x20AC;ŚNo excuse not to take to the Great Outdoors.

Focus on….

Ski JoEring

Imported from Scandinavia, the ancestral sport ski-joering has recently seen a comeback. It involves being pulled along in the snow by a horse. It is open to all from the most unsure beginner to expert level and from the age of 7 years. Indeed it has been seen that inexperienced skiers may gain in confidence after trying ski joering. As the horse pulls you along you hold on to a short bar which holds your body safely away and you wear specifically short skis. Aravis Passion Centre équestre du Lanchy Tél. : +33 (0)6 15 65 11 11 Mail : info@aravis-passion.com www.aravis-passion.com Come and discover ski joering during 3 half day courses, a introductory course, short sessions, or an expedition for experienced skiers. • Group (1h30) : 53 € • Introductory course : (30min) : 28 € • Private lesson (1h) : 110 € • Sled (30mn) : 15 €

ICE RINK In the centre of the village, the ice rink offers 1000m2 of fun with plenty of different formulas available. Why not take an introductory course in ice hockey, or some ice skating lessons. There are also fun sessions organized with evening entertainment. The ice rink is outdoor, but has a cover in case of bad weather and is ideal for children who will love learning to skate with their parents during the kids sessions complete with bridges, obstacles and slaloms..

Experience well being

A laid-back attitude After all this exertion on the slopes, take some precious time out in one of the spas in the village. Indulge yourself in a relaxing, rejuvenating, luxurious treatment.

After the physical effort… What better after an active day on the slopes, than to follow on with a relaxing visit to the Spa. The benefits of a massage after physical exertion is even recommended to prevent accidents due to muscle fatigue and to avoid muscular cramps. Now that is more than a good excuse! Need more convincing? It has been recognized that passing from intense heat, in a sauna or steam room for example, to then plunge into cold water has many health benefits. The contrasts in temperature are known to improve blood circulation, destroy germs and aid your body to recuperate. The cold also soothes muscular and joint pain and significantly decreases tension, fatigue and mood swings.

Tender treatments The winter can be particularly demanding on your skin, and in the mountains with the dry air, wind, sun and snow, it needs extra care. After a facial or full body treatment with the experts in one of the wellness centres, take the time to relax for a longer lasting effect on your mind and body. .

A large choice for your pleasure ! With plenty of wellness centres to choose from in La Clusaz, you will be spoilt for choice.

Radikal Mountain

Hot off the heels of the successes of the previous 2 years, the 3rd edition of the International event « La Clusaz Radikal Mountain » is returning to La Clusaz in January 2013. The event opens the season for the Freeride World Tour (FWT), an importance race as the first stage in the Freeride World Qualifier **** (of which there are less than twenty), as it gives participants an opportunity to gain entry into the main competition. It is the occasion for La Clusaz to open up the different faces of its snow covered massifs to the world’s best riders.

Key stats • 1st worldwide stage in the Freeride World Qualifier • 2 days of competition • 3rd La Clusaz Radikal Mountain in 2013 • 17 nations represented over 110 participants • 1 new competition, the « Open », open to all! • 1 freestyle show with Jib session • 100% entertainment, adrenaline and fun over one weekend

Open Session New this year, the open session is exactly that, a race open to all to enable the best amateurs riders to qualify for the La Clusaz Radikal Mountain race. An amazing opportunity for anyone and everyone to enter into the very closed circuit of the FWQ. The 3 best male skiers, the best female skier, the first 2 male snowboarders and the first female snowboarder will obtain their entry into the qualifying round in La Clusaz

An unforgettable weekend This very special gathering is not just important to the free riders, sports lovers and spectators also flock to La Clusaz Radikal Mountain. Throughout the day, famous name brands exclusively reveal their new products in The Partner Village close to the race locations, which are kept secret until the day before the event. “La Clusaz Radikal Mountain by night” means time for the famous Jib Session, a combination of jumps and jamming where right

in the centre of the village, you can witness some amazing free-styling action on the purpose-built jumps accompanied by some of the best DJs.

FREERIDE WORLD TOUR In brief Freeride World Tour was the first ever to set up an off-piste (or freeriding) ski competition. It is a private company, now known throughout the world where it stands as the reference in the field. The Freeride World Tour (FWT) is divided into 2 categories: Freeride World Qualifier comprises 18 stages around the world, each categorised by their level of difficulty (rated between one and four stars), allowing participants to earn points so they can take part in the following year’s Freeride World Tour. Freeride World Tour Tour is an extremely tough championship where the world’s best freeriders compete in 6 international stages.

A variety of EvEnts Défi Foly

slightly crazy competitors compete each year in front of 1000s of spectators who come to watch this spectacular and exhilarating show.

Just for fun A crazy atmosphere For the last 25 years the crazy “Défi Foly” has been the final event of the winter, closing the season in its own inimitable style. Taking place this year on 27th-28th April 2013 it sees sportsmen and women competing on skis, mono skis, snow boards, or anything that slides(!). Nothing different about that, you may think, but the event does not take place on snow. The aim is to slide the longest distance over the Confins Lake! Since 1986, 150

The star attraction of this weekend of fun and frolics has to be the OGNI event, otherwise known as Unidentified Floating Objects (UFOs!), floating inventions right out of the imagination of those crazy enough to participate. These elaborate inventions provide a hilarious end to the event, as the spectators witness their sometimes catastrophic descent into the icy waters of the Confins Lake in the exceptional surroundings of the Confins, overlooked by the magnificents combs of the Aravis.

Ski BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON The famous FULL MOON PARTY is returning to La Clusaz again this year for a memorable evenings skiing ... to the light of the silvery moon!

From right on our

doorstep

Reblochon is an unpasteurised cow’s milk cheese with a Protected Designation of origin (PDO) label. Each cheese is between 13-14 cm in diameter, 3-3.5 cm high and weighs from 450 – 550g and has a supple and creamy paste. The natural rind varies from yellow to orange with a light covering of white mould. The paste is smooth and ivory coloured, with a supple texture. There are two distinct types of Reblochon. • Reblochon Fermier which is made twice a day using the milk from one particular herd. It can be distinguished by the green casein label applied during fabrication. • Reblochon Laitier which is made only once a day in a dairy with the milk from a variety of farms. It can be distinguished by its red casein label. more information on:

www.reblochon.fr Farmer reblochon Association Tél. : +33 (0)4 50 32 74 82 www.reblochonfermier.com

a bit of

history…

In the region of Thônes in the Haute Savoie right on the heart of the Aravis massif during the 13th century, the landowners would tax the mountain farmers according to the amount of milk their herds produced. The farmers would therefore not fully milk the cows until after the landowner had measured the yield. As soon as the landowners had left, the farmers would ‘reblocher’ that is to say, finish milking the cows. The milk that remains is much richer, producing the creaminess of the cheese, Reblochon. The farmers in La Clusaz are dedicated to the quality of their production and continue in the tradition of farm produced cheeses, with a twice daily milk yield, with no let-up 365 days a year! You can also enjoy the cheeses straight from the farm with the added extra of the alpine view!!
