## About Les Carroz

Les Carroz sits on a sunny balcony above the Arve valley, and of the Grand Massif bases it is the one that feels most like a village people actually live in — low-key, unpretentious and popular with families who come back year after year.

A gondola from the centre climbs into the same 265 km area that Flaine and Samoëns share.

## Where lessons start

Sunny, gentle beginner slopes by the village and a short gondola to the wider area when the group is ready for it.

## Getting there

Geneva is around an hour, straight up the Arve valley motorway.
