Apres Ski
Les Carroz is a traditional old Alpine village that opened as a ski resort in 1933. There are many shops and boutiques. Several quality restaurants and bars, good butchers and of course a couple of mini-markets. There is an open air market every Tuesday morning. Both Cluses and Sallanches have hypermarkets with larger weekly open air markets.
Apres ski activities include ice skating, cinema, snow walks to mountain dinner venues (including a teepee), dog sledging, snow scooters and para-gliding. Not forgetting the nightly activities organised on the village square by the Office du Tourisme. They put up information daily - which includes a 3 day "meteo" forecast - and there is a weekly news sheet, available in English.
Hopefully none of our guests will need it but there is a first class medical centre.
Radio 74 on 88.80 FM is a local Christian broadcasting station offering a good and reliable meteo forecast as well as world news. Laurie has been heard to argue with the radio broadcast regarding theology! How To Find Us
Les Carroz is 20 minutes from Junction 19 on the Motorway (A40), signposted to Les Carroz and Flaine. Driving up the mountain through the main village of Les Carroz , Le Palane is opposite (so on the left going up the hill) the big snow clearing station.
We are some 75 yards off the main road, our drive is normally well cleared of deep snow (we have an arrangement with a local contractor). Just after our letter box is our parking area enough for 3/4 cars whilst leaving the access drive clear for any more snow clearing that may be necessary during your stay. (The contractor does use BIG machines!)
