Top 10 Activities Off the Slopes to Make the Most of Winter!

Do you want to enjoy the resort in a different way than skiing? This winter, La Clusaz has prepared a selection of gentle or sporty activities so you can enjoy the mountains, even without skis on your feet!

Discover dog sledding

Enjoy the scenery on a dog sledding outing in Haute-Savoie, which will take you to the heart of the Alps, in a protected natural area. Learn to bond with the dogs and how to steer and drive a sled. One word sums it all up: fun!

Get your legs moving with electric mountain biking

La Clusaz is also the resort for mountain biking in winter! A new way to discover the snowy landscapes at the speed of pedals. Going uphill: you’ll sweat a bit (but not too much, it is electric mountain biking after all…), and going downhill: enjoy the ride!

Your meal like an explorer with a sled ride!

Welcome to Jack Digger, known as the Handy Man or Nehirowisiw in Atikamekw, the last explorer of La Clusaz. Experience a unique moment in his authentic tipi, in harmony with the mountain, at 1500 m altitude. Share an unforgettable evening in the explorer’s universe, deep in the forest. Take the chairlift or minibus, put on your après-ski or snowshoes to reach the tipi, guided by professional instructors. Outdoor appetizers, shared explorer dinner, musical ambiance, and a return ride by sled to the village. The Explorer’s Tipi offers total and peaceful disconnection for an evening in La Clusaz.

Impress your friends with paragliding photos

To make sure your friends know there’s more to mountain holidays than just raclette, you’ll need to show them something spectacular. Your best option: paragliding! Soar over the mountains and show them breathtaking aerial photos; next year, you’ll be spending just as much time outside as at the restaurant!

Feel like an explorer with snowshoeing

Immaculate landscapes, silence among the fir trees, and the urge to go on an adventure? No, you’re not in a documentary about Mike Horn, but in Haute-Savoie with your snowshoes on, ready for an epic hike!

Perfect your skills in ice skating and ice hockey

You’ll need to train a bit to showcase your best moves, whether solo or with company. A great reason to acquire a new sporting skill or enjoy new sliding sensations. Head to the ice rink, which awaits you during specific times; the earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to light up the rink!
