It’s autumn, the real thing. We’re putting away the shorts, but it’s still time to enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountains, with hiking, Via Ferrata, mountain biking and more. Mushroom season is open! On the other hand, mushroom-picking spots are still as secret as ever… Coming to La Clusaz in autumn is also an opportunity to relax with our spas, treatments and massages! And what could be worse than pampering yourself in the mountains?
