La Clusaz

Hi Stink,

Sorry I've taken a while to pick up on your thread here - been spending far too much time in the powder! 8)

A 3/4 day La Clusaz pass will cost you £55/£72. You can find a full list of pass prices on our site

The Etale area is one of the best in La Clusaz with my favourite mountain restaurant too and the beginning of Feb should be about the best time of the year for snow although I don't want to jinx it by saying anything stupid like you'll be guaranteed excellent snow! :twisted:

I believe that the L'Etale apartments may be up near the Medassier/Manogod area of the resort (which is approx 8km out of the village). This area is very good for families with gentle tree-lined blue runs on one side and faster reds on the other.

Let us know if you have any more questions about the area and I'll try to help. :wink:

Thanks graviteski for the reply, it may well be where you say as i too was told we were 8km from la clusaz. Thanks for the link to booking the lift pass online, should save valuable time, do you know if its reliable to do it this way? do they send you the pass or do you pick it up while you are there?
Also can you recommend a near by ski hire shop to me please.
Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks you.

Hi Stink, you can get a discount of at least 20% on ski and boot hire by booking through our partner SkiSet and using the discount code j2ski - just go to this address:-

www.j2ski.skiset.com

Select France and then "Manigod" as the resort - that will allow you to select Val Sports in Manigod / l'Etale. If you select "La Clusaz", you can choose between two shops in the centre of town but - from your description - it sounds like you'll be within walking distance of the Manigod / l'Etale shop.

Admin thanks for that, 3 days ski and boot hire for 32 euros, cant see me getting any cheaper that that.
Stupid question but i assume you get the poles as well??!!! Its just that it doesnt mention them.

Many thanks.

All ski hire in the area comes with poles included.

If you pre-book your lift pass online then you will need to collect it from the central pass office in La Clusaz - a little bit tricky if you're based in Merdassier without a car! I'd recommend that you buy it from the pass office at Merdassier when you arrive as there will be little or no queue at that time of year. :wink:

^^^^^^^

Good plan, we will have a hire car but id rather not have to drive to pick it up so buy it when were there we shall.
Cheers mate.
