Cross-country skiing in La Clusaz

Beauregard Nordic area and piste map

The Beauregard plateau trails begin right from the free car park at Croix Fry (Manigod ski area). For cross-country skiers with downhill skiers in their group, Beauregard is the perfect place for everyone to meet for lunch. Downhill skiers can reach the area from the Beauregard bubble/télécabine — and with the cross-country tracks near the downhill ski area in some places, you can watch your family and friends ski regardless of what type of skiing they choose.

There are eight circuits totalling 36km of cross-country trails on the Beauregard plateau, including a small learner track perfect for first-time cross-country skiers through to red runs and black runs for experienced Nordic skiers.

The area also had a number of restaurants and cafés to choose from, and an indoor picnic area for cold days. There's also a viewpoint for Mont Blanc, which is visible past the Col des Aravis mountain pass.

Confins Nordic area and piste map

With 13 circuits spanning 63km, Confins is the largest Nordic skiing area in Haute Savoie. The longest circuit is 13kms, leading up to the Danay plateau with a viewpoint of the Aravis mountains — La Clusaz on one side and Le Grand Bornand on the other — and an optional 7-km track that descends into Le Grand Bornand. Spread out over summer golf course and beyond, there are pistes for all ability levels that rarely overlap, so beginners won't be holding up advanced skiers.

At Les Confins, you'll also find a laser biathlon, Nordic cross course, and a Nordic ski park for new and challenging skiing fun. There is also a crèche and 'Club Piou Piou' for kids just learning how to ski, plus many restaurants and cafés, and ski hire shops for 'ski du fond' — which stock skating skis and classic track skis — and downhill ski rental.
