Alps for family skiing.

Les Carroz is not a purpose built resort;
it is a pretty Village with origins of the resort
dating back to 1939 when the first drag lift
was installed, which at the time was the longest
in Europe.
Les Carroz is located at an altitude of 1150
metres, with nice wide piste from 2500 metres
back down directly to the telecabin car park.
It is often said that Les Carroz appears to
have its own micro climate with consistently
excellent snow and skiing conditions as envied
by higher altitude resorts.
The main hub of the Village is a traditional
busy square where you can find cafes, restaurants, numerous ski hire outlets,
butchers, bakers, supermarkets, tourist information,
cinema, local food specialists and some very
nice boutiques.
There is even an outdoor ice skating rink in Les Carroz centre which is great fun for children and adults of all ages.
Les Carroz is a pleaseant change from the hustle and bustle of many main stream ski resorts and makes for a perfect family ski holiday destination.
