Les Carroz is part of the linked Grand
Massif ski area with the aid of telecabins and chairlifts, it offers
a large choice of trails and alpine scenery. The area
is an undiscovered treasure, free from crowds of people and the feel of the ancient
rural mountain villages remains.
The ambiance is relaxed,
the locals are friendly and welcoming to those wishing to discover the delights of their area.
 The Grand Massif is the third largest
ski area in the world with 265km of slopes, it comprises five linked resorts of Les Carroz, Morillon,
Samoens, Flaine and Sixt.
There are two permanent downhill tracks in Les Carroz covering over 4km with 800 metres of descent and one in Morillon
only 10 minutes ride from the top of the Les Carroz telecabine.
