Someone is telling us that our legs have really worked hard this winter. It’s time to (re)discover La Clusaz, but in energy-saving mode! Traverse the valley with 4 specially adapted routes. A great excuse to leave the car in the village and set out to explore these wide-open spaces!
STRAIGHT AHEAD TO THE CONFINS
Let’s go for a gentle walk on a 12.4-kilometer route. Once you’re on the paths, the slight elevation gain of 454 meters won’t even be noticeable, and all that’s left to do is admire the landscape. Upon reaching the plateau, it’s time to enjoy it to the fullest.
Food lovers can make a stop at the goat farm, while others can zip-line over the lake or hit the ball at the Golf des Confins. You can also stroll around the lake, enjoy the new walkways, and let the little ones play at the playground.

CONTEMPLATING THE VALLEY FROM CRÊT DU MERLE
Here is the perfect route to gain altitude without effort. Mostly in the shade of fir trees, this 11.8-kilometer route with a 478-meter elevation gain leads to downhill trails at its summit, offering a viewpoint over the valley that you won’t want to miss.
After strolling and admiring the panoramic views of the Aravis Range, you can try out the modules at P’tit Loup before heading to the Bike Park for an exhilarating ride back to the village. And for those who still have energy to spare, it might be the perfect opportunity to extend the climb!

ESCAPE TO COL DES ARAVIS
Long-distance enthusiasts will be delighted. Featuring sections of single track and a few narrow passages, this 14-kilometer route with a 472-meter elevation gain allows you to escape from the village through hiking trails and paths up to Col des Aravis.
Up there, the Aravis Range opens up with an unbeatable view of Mont-Blanc!

CYCLING IN THE ALPINE PASTURES OF THE BEAUREGARD PLATEAU
A bit more sporty but still widely accessible to all, this 21.2-kilometer eBike route with a 721-meter elevation gain gradually climbs to the heights of the valley, reaching the alpine pastures of the Beauregard Plateau.
With herds to cheer you along the way and high-altitude farms to restock, this route offers a 360-degree view of the surrounding mountain ranges once you reach the summit of the Beauregard peak. A tip: don’t forget your camera for this outing!
